Doctor discussing career decisions
I found the coaching very useful - I like the way it focused on values and identifying weaknesses/strengths and linking this with the type of career I would like for myself. It answered a lot of the questions I had and even though I still have more work to do in this area to truly figure out what I want out of my career, it was a very essential first step to doing so.

I came with an initial area I wanted to explore and Mat not only addressed this directly, but supported me to develop tools and think critically about other factors that impacted my career.

It has made me more determined to pursue my career.

Mat is great for showing your problem from a completely different point of view. He can ask questions that you end up thinking about for days and they help to see your problem as you never thought about. He is not offering solutions but a great help to find your own way!

I have a plan in place, one that Mat helped me to formulate. One that I know will change my working life if practiced and adapted on a regular basis

Helping me see the positives from my problems is a great quality in coaching. Especially when we looked at the difficulties I am facing currently. You are very good at re-framing problems to help see other ways to approach them.

Very useful to have an impartial party, who is “outside” of the situation. Useful to hear a different way of interpreting things.
