Inspiration, Wisdom and Clarity
"As a coach and consultant, Will is catalytic: he is hugely positive, adds much, offers his varied network as a resource, joins dots others don’t see and drives a result."
The pandemic had struck, my husband and I were working at home and our three kids were virtual learning. Life had become uncertain, challenging and overwhelming. Anxiety became a reoccurring force in my life. It was at this time that I was introduced to Will. To this day, Will and I have never met in person. In fact, we live in different continents but somehow he created a safe place, virtually, where I could talk, laugh and cry yet never feel judged. Initially, all I wanted was to get rid of anxiety and kept asking, how long was this going to take? However, he gently reinforced that the point was not to eradicate anxiety but to befriend it. What a daunting thought, but over time, I understood what he meant. I learned coping mechanisms and began to look at anxiety differently, staring it in the face with courage instead of fear. Today, I am a different person. My confidence has grown and my relationship with my husband and kids are not only stronger but more joyful. Will changed my life and I am forever grateful and blessed for his help.

Will pointed out to everyone; season skills are not a stop gap, they are with us for life and are transferable in the real world."

"Will is real, raw and passionate about helping people to flourish in their leadership roles."
I was referred to Will by my psychiatrist after suffering from acute anxiety and depression following bereavement. In my hopeless and stressful state I was not sure if anything would change. However, meeting Will was by divine appointment and l felt positive after meeting him for the first time. The journey was hard and painful but through Will's patience, commitment, motivation and positive energy, I found the light at the end of the tunnel.
