  "Sara Malek brings a blended approach to coaching offering the professionalism one would expect from such a consultant with an empathy and understanding not always seen in this area. I found her to be fair but challenging in the most appropriate ways at all times giving me the feeling that I was in control even when I was clearly exploring new territory. I have already employed Sara to assist in the development of some of my team and I would recommend her to anyone or business considering this approach to development.“

Paul Burr
PhD, BTech (1st Class Honours)

Paul has seven years experience, coaching (on a full time basis) business people at all levels in corporate life. Prior to coaching, Paul spent about 20 years in corporate sales and management roles.

Paul ‘s clients include IBM, BP, Dixons Group, CSC, Reckitt Benckiser, United Biscuits, as well as several small/medium organisations. A large proportion of Paul's work has been in the b2b sales and marketing arena - where he has focused on coaching already high performers to achieve even higher levels of sales performance.
“I found the programme extremely beneficial: it grew my self-confidence and self-esteem tremendously, and allowed me to go and sell. I have both the ability and I have earned the right to do this."

" I am much more ruthless about agreeing to tasks outside the scope of my quota - unless it eventually benefits my quota in some way. I do nothing unless it progresses me closer towards meeting my targets. I am better respected amongst my peer group and managers, and I am assured of a successful career with solid progression! Overall, I recommend this to anyone, so long as they are prepared to accept new ideas and alter their attitudes to certain ways of working.”

Corporate Salesperson, Top 5 Global IT company
“I won the big one (worth £15M!) for the Australian bank I was after…... my life has changed quite a bit (for the better) and 80% due to your help”
Regional Manager (now a Senior Vice President), Global IT Services Consultancy

"I was sceptical about what coaching would do to help me and was surprised by how quickly Becky helped me to see where I was going wrong. It can be lonely at the top and having someone who has no agenda apart from yours to help you focus on self improvement is invaluable. I also found it particularly useful and somewhat re-assuring to realise how I could use my strengths to help me compensate for areas I struggled with. I will always have a high need for control. Becky helped me to work out how I could keep control and delegate, something I had always found hard to do"
Operations Director, UK Utilities Company
“I just wanted to thank you for all your help and support I really believe that it has been a great opportunity for me. I have had a couple of circumstances this week where I have had to put some of the "theory into practice", -skills that I did not previously have. I have been delving into the book & aim to keep this up."
Occupational Health Manager, Global Drinks Company
