What clients say about Andrea
"

Russell facilitated a fantastic 2-day Coaching Skills Programme that I recently attended. I experienced Russell as inspiring, thoughtful, and committed. Whilst the content of the programme was excellent, it was Russell's manner, modelling of advanced coaching skills, and commitment to supporting and developing others that made the workshop so invaluable. I would thoroughly recommend Russell to anyone wishing to develop their coaching skills.”
