Coaching in Ian's own words:

"In companies where coaching is done well you can really see how their people grow. The problem is when people get the top jobs they are expected to have a certain skills set - people skills, diplomacy skills, strategic skills etc. - but there's no reason why their previous roles should have prepared them for this.

"So when coaching is done well it can have a massive effect. It gives me a real buzz when I see a client get ahead."
