Testimonials
What clients say
Don’t just take my word for it. Here’s what clients say about working with Clive.
I was lucky to find Clive at Brilliant Coaching when I was at a very low point in my life. In a short time, he helped me put my life back together, giving emotional support, practical advice and when I needed it, a (gentle) nudge in the right direction! I’m in such a good place now and I would not hesitate to recommend Clive.
I found and secured an amazing new position which was actually a bit beyond my skill set. I had to develop confidence and leadership skills fast. A friend recommended Clive and after several sessions over a few months I was told by my director that my entire team had spoken really highly of me. Such a great compliment! Something which I can attribute to Clive’s experience, professionalism and supporting me in my progress. Highly recommended.
I felt uncertain whether I could really pull off my new role at director level. I was anxious about how I would be seen by my peers and I questioned my own capabilities at such a senior position. I talked it through with a friend and they recommended I had a chat with Clive. The chat made me feel I was with someone who understood me and who knew the way I could empower myself, build unshakeable confidence and power my way through.
I had some sessions; did the work he gave me to do and enjoyed his support between sessions as well. It was challenging, fun and engaging. I now have a new toolbox of life and business skills, authenticity and confidence! Highly recommended.
Clive helped me tremendously when I was in a new career which wasn’t working out. He understood quickly and we worked together to assess my skills, my drivers and passions. We put all of this together and analysed some areas and career paths which might suit me. We edited my CV, set some goals with steps along the way and I then applied for a number of really good career fits for me.
I was invited to interview with three of them and I secured my most favourite! Working with Clive was easy and straightforward, I’m so glad I got his help. Highly recommended.
As someone who is near the top of business, sports and relationships, I didn’t expect to feel so lost in life. I reached out to Clive at Brilliant Coaching. He helped me through a very all-encompassing and structured approach to pinpoint some of my key issues.
I feel very comfortable in my own skin now, which is testament to the time and effort Clive puts into his sessions with his clients. I am back to really enjoying life – and the resilience and authenticity I now have is amazing. I would recommend Clive to anyone.
I reached out to Clive during the most difficult time of my life, while I was struggling to deal with my thoughts and emotions. Working with Clive has changed the way I interact with my thoughts and highlighted my strengths while enabling me to work on self-improvement where I require it.
Not only has this helped me greatly with my day to day working life but also in my sporting endeavours where I have used some of my learnings to improve my self-awareness and positive mental attitude to achieve to the fullest of my potential in both areas.
Clive has always made conversation so easy and explains things in an engaging and fun way, and I would highly recommend his services.
