Tony Adamson 
Leadership & Management
​Coaching

Read all about Tony
I am an experienced coach and senior leader who’s approach is informed by my 25 year career in the charity sector, where I held a wide range of leadership and management roles. 
 
I know how hard it can be to juggle a thousand priorities whilst neglecting our wellbeing, and I coach my clients to prosper and become more effective leaders and managers through managing stress, avoiding burnout, reconnecting to their purpose and developing strategies to create the balance that truly works for them.  Through this they’re empowered to be the manager and leader they want to be. 
 
For me, coaching is about creating the space to take a step back and critically examine your situation – to understand what is or isn’t working for you, what you need more or less of, what needs to change, what balance means to you, the extent to which you’re honouring your core values.  Then together we formulate a plan to achieve the changes you desire.

I have an interest in the space where coaching and therapy meet, or therapeutic coaching.  I’m a keen runner, am attempting to get round the Scottish Munros, and am fascinated by how we challenge ourselves, reach our potential and understand where our limits are.

Frederick Afrifa
Public Speaking and Communication ​Coach
Picture
Read all about Fred 
My name is Frederick, I am a TEDx public speaking coach. I help individuals overcome anxiousness and nervousness in order to become better communicators.
 
12 years as a professional sprinter have taught me how to perform at your best under pressure & as a public speaking coach I have helped individuals and organisations globally find their voice and build unshakable confidence.
 
Have you ever wondered why we can speak calmly to friends and family (especially after 2 glasses of prosecco), but struggle in other settings? That is because we have an adverse relationship with pressure.
 
My philosophies are rooted in mindfulness and vulnerability, debunking the old school "fake it, till you make it" mantra and instead allowing individuals to "embrace nerves" and show up unapologetically as themselves when speaking to any crowd.

Neil ​Morbey
Mindfulness & Meditation
​Coaching & Teaching
Picture
Read all about Neil! 
My name is Neil Morbey and I help anxious adults to love and trust themselves; overcoming their traumas and fearful conditioning.

I was a workaholic and hedonistic landscape architect, burning out myself and my relationships. It was only when I discovered meditation that I began to rekindle my love of myself and of life. I learned to combine my playfulness with presence (the title of my 2015 TedX talk), and to slow down and face my fears with kindness. This inspired me to change careers and follow my calling.

​I now help people do the same every day and I love it.

 If any of this rings true, you’ve come to the right place. 

1. You’re a leader looking to move to the next level. 
2. Your company is growing too fast and bursting at the seams a little or a lot.
3. You know that you and your team could work better, but can’t figure out how.
4. You want to create a business that can work without you.
​5. You know what you want, but need the right tools and motivation to get there.
