"We worked with Steve from Encourager Coaching to coach our leadership team using Clifton Strengths, both individually and as a group. Steve's down-to-earth approach made it easy for the team to feel at ease and build a productive coaching relationship. With his HR background and working in tech for a long time, he understood the roles and landscape and was able to quickly gauge the business and guide meaningful discussions. His strengths-based approach empowered individuals to maximise their potential and drive meaningful change. We continue to work with him and I'd happily recommend."
Kenneth Hellem, Chief People Officer - Ultimate Beauty (ecommerce company)
