Fred worked closely with me during my training, coaching me
through its many challenges with calmness, patience and good humour. His
feedback and advice was always remarkably attuned to me as an individual, as
opposed to generic platitudes, and often illuminated things I was too
preoccupied to notice myself. For example, following one feedback session, Fred
helped me to understand more about my voice and physical presence in the room:
advice which still has an impact now. I have found that Fred’s extensive
experience and expertise are always channelled through a desire to help others,
such that he will always communicate the truth in very genuine terms. Speaking
as someone who has experienced a lot of coaching and mentoring throughout my
career and personal life, Fred’s advice, and the way in which it was given, continues
to stay with me, and I would seek it out time and again. Neil S
