TESTIMONIALS
I was very fortunate to be appointed to Tom and wish I had reached out sooner. Tom is friendly, empathetic and his professional manner put me at ease straight away. I focused on my career to start, and the initial discussions made me look at all areas of my life and Tom helped me to focus on what I wanted (and needed) to address first. He worked with me to identify what I wanted to change and offered support and guidance at each stage. I found it helpful to receive coaching notes after each session. As a summary of what we had discussed, it was useful for me to recap what we had gone over and plan my achievable next steps. Tom never judged and helped me to see things more clearly, in order to focus more. I highly recommend talking with Tom.
"Tom's calm manner was really helpful in analysing the issues and helping me to look for, and find, answers. He led our conversations in a way which helped me to think about the situations from a different perspective, enabling me to change my default response to create a more positive outcome. Throughout our sessions Tom was non-judgemental, guiding me to work out the answers and giving me confidence. "
“Facing a number of challenges whilst settling into a new role, I was looking for support to help me deal with a number of difficult stakeholders and a growing number of roadblocks I didn’t know how to navigate. Working with Tom was a game changer, his calm and approachable demeanour helped me share and explore some of the more difficult aspects I was facing. Having worked with other coaches before, I found it really helpful that Tom was able to adapt his approach quickly and seamlessly whilst still applying techniques and approaches to structure the conversation. Through my coaching sessions with Tom I was able to identify and implement solutions to the professional challenges I was facing and settle into my new role much more quickly than I would have with his support.”
"Tom Wallin’s coaching was so impactful for me. I met Tom when I was put on a performance improvement plan and had lost all confidence in myself. I felt nervous at work, avoided doing certain tasks and wasn’t able to manage pressure in the workplace. Tom’s coaching was unbelievably helpful in terms of being able to break everything down into smaller chunks and being able to talk about different issues each week. At the end of each week, we set objectives that I always felt were achievable once discussing them with Tom. Making progress with these small steps allowed me to feel more confident and I definitely saw some improvements (some which were noted by my colleagues). I felt I was able to be honest with him about how I felt and I really felt supported, which is something I was not able to receive from the rest of my team in the way that I needed it."
"I went spent time in coaching with Tom during a transition of roles where I work. I was moving to a role that involved taking on increased responsibility and more exposure to the business’ C-Suite. I wanted to work on my ability to assert myself with more conviction and confidence to ensure I was in a position to maximise the opportunities my role presented. I’m now almost six months into the new role and I can genuinely say that the time I spent with Tom made all the difference. Tom is a phenomenal coach. His superpower was his ability to help me reflect on how I perceived myself and those around me in the workplace without telling me what I should think or judging me when even I felt I was being a bit irrational! Tom’s ability to listen and immediately digest what I was saying, sometimes in a rambling fashion, was astonishing! I’d very happily make a run of sessions with Tom an annual event! Thanks Tom. "
"I was looking for confidence building advice and to see how to tackle these demons. Tom gave incredibly memorable advice and a safe environment in which to practice the steps – would highly recommend."
