Testimonials

Raf is passionate about feedback and helping to strengthen feedback conversations. I have been working with Raf in 1:1 sessions where his advice, techniques and tools have been invaluable in helping me to provide effective feedback to my team and extract the maximum value from the feedback I receive.

Raf has consistently been able to provide practical guidance on how to navigate specific scenarios to create a positive environment for feedback and coaching.

I have been lucky enough to get a few sessions with Raf so far, which have had an immediate benefit to me personally and professionally through adapting how I approach situations.

I have been most impressed by how Raf was able to apply his thinking to my barriers. I truly appreciate how Raf has brought out and encouraged feedback which makes for some very enlightening conversations. 

When I think of Raf, I think immediately of a coach. A man who is invested in the development of others through listening and sharing ideas and understanding. A man who cares about others intensely without any expectation of something back in return, a man who will give of himself to help others find their route map to success with the power of a GPS.

As a seasoned coach myself I look to surround myself with people who will challenge my thinking and help me grow and when I meet with Raf for any event, be that co-facilitating a workshop, at a networking event or just for coffee, I know I will walk away with something to reflect on.

As a facilitator, Raf is insightful and challenging in equal measure, he will support his learners on their journey whilst not being afraid to ask the tough questions. In the time I have known him, he has honed his skills, continually looking to” sharpen the saw”; for his own development and to pass it on to others. The desire to develop others was a trait that I grew to admire quickly. Asking the right questions is the key to digging out the right answers, knowing when to push and when to coax is a balancing act that many fall short on, not Raf.

The skill he uses to put his coaching clients at ease to facilitate the most positive response is something I have seen him grow through various methods. Initially, constantly seeking feedback on his own performance and learning to manage his own response to challenging feedback rather than allowing his emotional being take centre stage and deliver a reaction has been integral to the development of his incredible coaching style. To his thirst for knowledge, developing his own style to embed that knowledge in his own consciousness, ready to share it with others, that required a deep level of self-awareness which is rare to see.

Fundamentally, if you are looking for help in creating a feedback culture, it makes sense to seek out the help of somebody who has done just that. He is the F-Word coach you need to see if you want to move forward with your feedback strategy. That, and he is a bloody good bloke; it’s a great combination.

After hearing the feedback coach at a networking event we were extremely interested in how we felt he could help our business.
