Working with Richard was a very helpful experience which moved me and my business forward. In our sessions Richard supported my idea generation process allowing to develop new options and directions where I can move my company.
Richard has a unique style which especially focuses on alternative and insightful viewpoints while making sure that I keep track on my target.
Even with (or especially during) COVID-19, managing changes was a challenge for my business. Coaching with Richard helped me see beyond the chaos of the first months of uncertainty; now - following my value set - I am able to:
* Expand into additional business areas serving my customers in strengthening their teams and achieving exceptional HSE performance,
* drive my personal development by completing my masters in environmental sciences
* keep an eye on my fitness
* move closer to the work-life balance I have craved, especially including my family
What looked like an impossible challenge at first became manageable; not easy, but over time it was second nature. Coaching with Richard gave me new ways to operate at a higher performance level.
Thank you Richard.

 Soon after experiencing some difficulties in my personal life, I began meeting regularly with Richie to help me improve my wellbeing. He was understanding of my situation and provided support by meeting me where I was and helped me identify small changes I could make to become a happier me. Richie always asked the right questions which allowed me to come up with actionable steps that ultimately led me to tackle areas of my life that I've been wanting to improve. Over the last few weeks I have made some habitual changes which has proved beneficial in leading a healthier lifestyle, and improved my overall outlook on the future.
I have come to look forward to Thursdays because aside from having a productive session with Richie, the energy and genuinely caring nature he has is refreshing and contagious and I always walk away smiling.

​ "I found Richie's coaching sessions   helpful in helping me think about   all the different things I have to   access to after leaving school from university to apprenticeships to the  world of work. Richie also helped me feel more motivated about my future and less anxious about what’s to come by agreeing with me small tasks which in the end completed the bigger task in which I had been daunted by."

EDGE life coaching has been one of the most positive experiences I have had! 
Setting myself a goal is often the easy bit but sticking to it is where I struggle, often unsure how to take the right steps. I was due to be a bridesmaid in 10months time and was desperate to look my best and drop that final dress size that I could not shift!
​Richie doesn’t tell you what to do but instead makes you feel empowered to be the ‘expert’ in your own life and encourages to seize control of your goals. Richie is consistently professional, personable, and motivational everything you need in a life coach! Despite being in different continents and time zones, Richie made our sessions easily accessible with virtual meetings and was always prepared and ready to offer guidance, he was even on hand when I just needed a little motivational boost in between our set sessions.
Not only was I able to achieve my goal but life coaching also equipped me with the right tools for any challenges I face in the future as I can apply these successful techniques to my life and I feel more confident than ever.
​I would totally recommend EDGE life coaching. The only downside… I got a bit jealous of Richie being in glorious sunny Barbados and I was in rainy England!

 I met with Richard via Zoom over a   period of three months. I could write  a book and some about this   experience, but suffice it to say, he   has helped me unpack and throw   away some emotional baggage. This   has positively impacted my spiritual and physiological wellbeing and unearth some lovely truth about myself. I would recommend him in a heartbeat.

I have always heard about life coaches but never thought I could benefit from one. I always say that everything happens for a reason and at the right time. When I met Richard, I was in a season in my life where I had no clue what my next steps were professionally; however, meeting with Richard on a regular basis gave me great insight and direction. I gained a great understanding of who I am and with this understanding, my future suddenly became filled with ideas and vision. The best part of it was that I was the one who answered all my questions and he was able to stretch my mind and challenge me in an immense way. I feel so much more confident that my dreams are becoming a reality!

Upon completing an important goal, I was ready to start working on the next one – a large-scale goal of writing a book. I’ve had several concepts circling around and this opening in time presented the runway to get moving. I’m one who can establish accountability for myself but the area where Richard has been the best support is to help me continue to define my subject – from several independent pieces into interlocking concepts. My linear and analytical thinking can get me into narrow places. Richard’s broad-perspective coaching focused on my “why” continually helps me to pull my view back up to look at the concepts from a wider view. Richard has also assisted in helping me see the places where these concepts are playing out in my own life experiences. Richard’s powerful questions and curiosity help me to see the important pieces that I might miss as I move along the linear path I tend to follow. I look forward to continuing to partner with Richard as I work toward completing this goal.

I have found these coaching sessions invaluable. I am a very experience head teacher, and as such have not had the opportunity to have a platform where I am able to examine my vulnerabilities and really think about why I do and think the way I do in work, and pull apart the possible impact of doing things differently. Richard’s style is the perfect blend of reflecting my thoughts back and asking open questions in a way that gently challenged my first instinctive response or train of thought, in such a way as the answers would seemingly come out of nowhere, and at
the flick of a switch, I went from wrestling with a problem, to mapping out a fully formed solution! The accountability of leaving a session with an action or commitment I had made to myself also afforded the accountability, which meant I learned how to tackle difficult conversations and actions in a more timely and therefore effective manner
I truly hope I can resume our coaching sessions in the future, and to my fellow headteachers, I would say the experience of having coaching sessions with somebody
who is not only a highly skilled coach but an, experienced school leader in their own right, has transformed my leadership and by association, its impact on the staff and
pupils in my charge.
