Coach Mentoring & Mentor Coaching – What people say
“I chose Patrick as my mentor coach to support me as part of my ongoing growth and development as a coach and also as part of the ICF accreditation process. I chose him because I knew he would (and did) challenge me at a very deep level, but at the same time he held the space in which we were working with tenderness and compassion, which allowed me to explore my vulnerabilities fully. As a result the insights I gained into myself as a person and as a coach through working with Patrick were startling, profound and priceless. I find Patrick to be versatile and highly skilled – some of his beautifully crafted questions and insights literally took my breath away. It was not comfortable, there was nowhere for me to hide, but working right on my ‘edge’ in this way gave me a significant breakthrough in my personal development.”

“Patrick was recommended to me by colleagues when I was looking for a mentor as part of my application for ACC accreditation. I have been impressed by his utter professionalism, ability to create rapport and deep knowledge of the coaching process. Patrick's goal was to help me be the best coach I can be. As such he was sometimes quite tough, pushing me to understand my own blocks and to model the ICF coaching competencies for my clients. I enjoyed our sessions and, looking back, realise how much I learned. Patrick helped me to improve my coaching technique and to feel confident in my ability to work constructively with any client. I would highly recommend him to others. Top qualities: Great Results, Expert, High Integrity.”
Lesley Trenner – Personal Coach
“I worked with Patrick as a mentor coach as I prepared for my senior coaching diploma during 2011. He combines a great way of supporting and challenging, and has helped me get even clearer about my strengths as a coach.

Top qualities: Personable, Expert, High Integrity.”
