Testimonials
Kim Thomas - Membership Manager "I would definitely recommend Leap Forward Coaching programme to other young professionals who are serious about achieving their goals. With the Leap Forward programme I identified strategies to better perform at work and progress my career. I achieved my personal goal - to feel energize by my lifestyle, which just positively compounds in every aspect of my life. The programme allowed my to develop a stronger understanding of the goal achievement process, how to identify and overcome obstacles and keep focused on the end result. Grant has an inspiring positive nature, he was an awesome coach, praising my strengths and helping me to discover strategies to reach my goals yet stretching me when required. I am so pleased I invested in the Leap Forward programme, it allowed me to reach my goals, yet more importantly realize my potential, and the future is bright".
Brendon Veale Manager, Fundraising Wellington Zoo Trust "Coaching helped me make faster progress towards my goals than I thought possible. It enabled me to put a formal process in place that aided me in clarifying a large number of differing objectives. It helped me get ‘mentally organized’, reduced my stress and gave me practical tools to help work through my ideas and opportunities".
Todrick Taylor Managing Director Taylor Associates Chartered accountants "In my years of being in business I have always looked for a person who could provide me with some one on one leadership coaching. There are plenty of business coaches but I wanted to deal with my own specific issues. In Grant I found just right person who brings to the table his own hands on experience in business and sound academic knowledge. I would recommend Grant if you are looking for a person who will help identify the type of leader you want to be and give coaching on how to handle and deal with day to day leadership issues such as communication and procrastination".
Clive Pedley, Business owner and managing partner Xponential Philanthropy NZ "To start with I had a limited view about what coaching could do and thought it would be more about receiving instructions about best practice. But it was much more than that. Grant’s coaching helped me define and achieve clearer goals in a shorter amount if time than I thought possible. The results speak for themselves – it helped me grow my business, hire a new staff member, secure new premises, investigate & implement a workable governance plan not to mention helping work on my important relationships. Though coaching I have a much clearer map for my business and life".
Guy Dennis- Partner, Opus International Consultants "I have admired Grants enthusiasm, ability to probe situations from energizing angles to develop new ideas and determination to help people and organizations succeed".
Julie Harrington, Employment Consultant, Royal New Zealand Foundation of the Blind "I found Grant inspirational and thought provoking – especially around what constitutes personal leadership – and how individual that is for all of us at differing times & situations".
