What people are saying about Ross
Ross has a disarming and easy nature about the way he approaches coaching that puts the people he works with at ease very quickly. As well as the training he has done on coaching specifically, he also brings a wealth of life experience to group and individual discussions to bring a rounded view on a topic. I have found my time with him to be highly beneficial and I would recommend him to anyone looking to know themselves better and to develop their individual strengths.

Ross’s approach to a strategic pre-sales coaching workshop resonated with me and my leadership team immediately. It has transformed our approach to stay focused on what we do best. The added wellness lens not only helped me at work, but also provided great insights into how to live a happier and more satisfying life at home. Ross’s extensive pre-sales experience provided my team with the immediate confidence that he understands our unique positions and the challenges that come with it,. The combination of Ross’s background and unique approach resulted in a transformative experience that has brought my team closer on a personal level, with more engagement and an increased satisfaction level both professionally and personally

I found the insights generated through the coaching program extremely valuable in developing actionable steps to enhance my leadership potential in the Australian Public Service. I feel much better placed in understanding and leveraging my individual strengths, developing members of the team and leadership presence.
In the months following our coaching sessions, and leveraging the insights gained, I was offered a medium-term acting branch head role in my department (i.e. SES B1 level), and then a promotion with another government organisation. I would strongly recommend you as an executive coach for senior leaders across the Australian Public Service.

When I enrolled in the Program I did not know what to expect. After reflection, it was insightful and inspiring. The sessions had a variety of resources and activities that make you think and tick. Ross is approachable, and definitely knows how to get you out of your comfort zone, and to get the most out of your values and beliefs. This was a very positive experience. Thank you Ross for the quality of your delivery and for the guidance!

It was a very affirming experience working with Ross as a coach. He is encouraging, quick, and attuned and has a knack for explaining things really clearly. He asked the right questions to centre my thinking and helped me clarify my goals. I've gained some super practical ideas to move my projects forward and I've also had the opportunity to dig more deeply into how I do what I do. The Strengths work is powerful because it has given me a clear picture of my natural talents and it also prompted surprising inner reflection. I love the balance of structure and exploration in this program and I’ve come away with more confidence and faith in my capabilities. Very worthwhile!

I had the privilege of completing a coaching program with Ross aimed at identifying and maximising personal strengths to be more effective and achieve greater satisfaction in professional and personal endeavours. The 1:1 coaching sessions with Ross were both thought provoking and challenging, and helped me better understand my unique talents and how I can use them for my own and others benefit. The group sessions were a real joy. Ross is a talented coach and facilitator and I would highly recommend his services to anyone seeking to better themselves.

I did not only learn about my talents, but also what are my blind spots, my saboteurs and the expectations I have from others. Understanding those blindspots helped me to move on faster when they appear in my day to day life and it also changed my view on the expectations from the others. Overall, I found this course beneficial for both, my personal as well as professional life and I can definitely recommend it to others. Ross has a good understanding of the individual skills, how they can support us or sabotage us. He can help you to see the bigger picture as long as you are open to the honest reflection of yourself.
