Fantastic coach. The sessions massively help giving greater clarity to both work and personal life. Couldn't recommend highly enough.

Would highly recommend Rob for his guidance, planning and helping to develop in trading. Rob helps to identify key points to build on, a plan to stick to and makes you accountable for your actions. Reflecting in the final session of a 6 session course with Rob it’s made clear the impact it has on personal development.

It’s been a pleasure to get coaching from Rob and look forward to working together going forth in the future!

Some people have boundless energy, optimism and generosity of spirit, and Rob is one of them - no doubt underpinning his career change from Commodity Trader to Coach and Mentor. In supporting The Utility Market Experts (TUME) weekly call for mid-career, role-hunting Energy sector professionals, Rob has been providing a series of practical mini-workshops that have proven to be informative, motivating and most importantly action-oriented, re-focusing everyone on the task at hand.

If you are looking for support for you or your team, Rob’s approach, positivity and desire to help come highly recommended.

I have had several sessions with Rob over the past year. I found the experience extremely helpful and beneficial in the long term. He was both compassionate and rigorous in his approach. He set clear parameters for the conversation and encouraged me through concise and insightful framing and prompting during the dialogue. In each session I felt that I understood the aim of the session and by the end of each one I felt that I had achieved a clearer understanding of my own thinking and that I had a clear set of goals that effectively built towards achieving my ultimate aim.

Rob provides a trusting and generous space for personal exploration, during each session I felt in control of the session and that I was free to identify the nature of the work to be done. I used the sessions to help me think through some difficult decision making concerning my professional life, I have now achieved the best outcome I could have imagined and this seemed impossible at the beginning. I would recommend Rob without hesitation as a highly professional and effective life coach.

Attending Rob’s coaching sessions when you first commence your new job search is a rich and rewarding experience.

Meeting with like minded people in a similar position as you, whilst discussing your own challenges and experiences helps to frame your own understanding of your ability and what you are selling as your strengths and skills to a potential new employer.

As a former energy trader, Rob uniquely understands the challenges faced by traders looking to make the move away from the desk and into other areas of the energy trading space.

Rob’s approach to helping you draw out the right message, for and by yourself to enhance your marketability was an invaluable experience and helped me in improving my combat readiness for the challenge of securing my current role.

I would recommend Rob’s coaching sessions to anyone in my network who is looking to improve their ability to secure a new challenge.

Energy Industry Consultant

Rob has been a regular contributor to a weekly call hosted by The Utility Market Experts (TUME) whereby he brings focus to the task of what and how people need to be thinking about when hunting for roles.

This could be a self assessment of a personal SWOT analysis, bringing you back to a task you said you’d get over the line from a previous week or just a general ‘you can do this’ in what is a scary situation for most people.

Robs enthusiasm and ability to find the uplifting comment is his shining star. Would certainly recommend Rob to anyone looking for any level or support in this space.

I have spoken with Rob to help me look into options of career progression and mobility to enhance not only my CV but also my networking skills. His guidance has helped me keep myself accountable, to drive the changes I want myself and to look at options that will not only help with my career but also the importance of mental health.

You will not have any regrets in utilizing his knowledge and skills, I myself look forward to working with him again in the near future near to continue with my personal development.

Rob has been supporting our weekly drop in session for immediately available energy professionals & consultants across the past 6 months.

His group coaching exercises have been pivotal in terms of teasing out insight into individuals; whether this is their motivations, capabilities preferences or goals. Role Hunting can be overwhelming so it is really good seeing him help our candidates determine their short term and longer term goals.

His within industry experience also really helps as it means he is able to talk from the same page as our experts.

I would recommend Rob to any up and coming professionals who want to determine a career path and to anyone whose career progression may have stagnated. He will help hold you to account while being fantastically supportive to deal with.
