Mark, Interim School Leader
I learnt a lot from working beside Sunil. He was great at boosting my confidence and encouraging me to do things I hadn’t considered before. Working with Sunil led me to my current career, which I would never have considered if not for our coaching sessions. It was a pleasure to work with Sunil, and I wish him all the best in his future aspirations as an Executive Coach.
Peter, Assistant Headteacher
Sunil was an independent job seeker with whom I worked. Sunil’s reflective coaching helped me get a senior position in a school that met my needs. Sunil helped me reword my statements and describe my experiences in interviews. He instantly understood my background, helped me set goals, and created a clear path to attain them within our timetable. Sunil is always professional, has strong emotional intelligence, and refers back to our goals and programme.
