Karl brought the capability of articulating a new concept and what it would mean to both the Company and Employees. This articulation and the coaching that Karl invested into the process showed significant results in a short space of time.

Karl was a very strong coach, was very systems-driven, and focussed on the programme outcomes. The program was sufficiently successful that it has spread to other parts of the organisation.

Working through the 180-minute “Breakthrough Thinking” process with Karl was like a light bulb being switched on. The best way I can describe the impact of this is that it feels like I’m taking my foot off the brake.

Karl has put the “spring back into my step” – I now feel motivated, inspired and positively charged. Karl has been my Coach and Mentor for the 2 years I have been a People Advisor. The skills and techniques Karl uses have enabled me to focus on clearly understanding my objectives and to set goals to chip away those ‘barriers” which I had previously thought would stop me from achieving success. I would strongly recommend Karl to anybody who wants to achieve success
