Now, more than ever leaders should be open to continuous learning and alternative thinking, with a willingness, self-belief and a can-do attitude being key. If the mindset is closed or simply stuck, it is the key blocker to progress. Creating a paradigm mindset shift, moving Profit to Purpose, Hierarchies to Networks, Controlling to Empowering, Planning to Experimenting and Privacy to Transparency is fundamental in creating High Performance environments.

A natural intelligent curiosity leads me to continuous self-development, thoroughly enjoying passing this knowledge and expertise onto others seeking change. A strong self-awareness and enthusiasm to inspire leaders, young and old, produces great energy for both parties. Many lessons from Sport and from Business are transferable and can be applied in a situation specific way, overcoming any hurdles, transforming the leader to achieve the desired optimum performance. A no nonsense, open, honest and trusting relationship soon develops.
bluewaveSELECT is a specialist SAP recruitment business that supplies SAP professionals globally to deliver enterprise-sized business transformation programmes. We engaged with Tony over a 6 month period to help our leadership team design and deliver the next steps in our growth strategy. Tony brought considerable business knowledge from outside of our own industry to the table which was exactly what we were looking for. He also challenged the status quo and facilitated debate around our next stage growth plans and how to achieve them. Good guy, very personable and has the transferable skills.
Tony has supported me and CNG for a number of years now. He has a way of seeing things differently to most, finding ways of doing things that are insightful! Straight talking and focussed he has helped me as a mentor and coach to see through the fog to get to the real crux of the problem. Thought provoking and challenging he has been a great addition to our board. I would highly recommend Tony to any business that needs help in finding a better way to do things and cutting through to what the real issues are.
Tony and I worked over a six month period to initially execute a professional coaching program. After initial discussions and assessments, a very proactive, open and honest discussion was had. Which enabled the program to be very bespoke giving maximum advantage to the organisation and myself. As well as giving a focus for Tony to develop and guide the program which is now bringing a positive impact on the organisation. I would have no hesitation in recommending Tony as a coach, and will be the first contact to call for future requirements for myself.
