Vance is a true all rounder when it comes to everything and anything you look for in a coach, mentor, motivator and thought leader.  I’m lucky to have been on the receiving end of a good few years of sound business and leadership coaching from Vance whilst working in the same industry together. Always inspiring creativity, always teaching others to think and act outside the square…Vance is a genuine, humble and fun loving coach to be around.

I worked with Vance over a period of time when we implemented a new Selling Skills programme to our sales team. He was a pleasure to work with and always happy to challenge my thinking to make sure we got the best possible outcomes for our teams. He also introduced us to the concept of running Development Centres for teams and although there was resistance initially because it was different…he encouraged me to be brave and keep going with it. These development centres became an integral part of how we worked and people found them incredibly valuable. Great for coming up with new ideas and adapting them to the workplace you are working in.

Vance mentored me as I began a new role as Sales Controller and helped me make the transition from being one of the team to managing and leading the team. He helped me have confidence in my ability and gave me sound advice on positioning, managing upwards, planning the team restructure to grow our business. His advice, help and support has been invaluable.

I worked with Vance on numerous development programmes and his practical approach combined with his personal energy brought consistent results.
