Paul listen really well and asked the right questions at the right time. His approach allowed me time to think, consider and reflect on how I could make small changes to change outcomes. I would highly recommend.

Business & Career Coaching

Paul was superb. He helped me to assess my career thus far and pick out the skills that were transferable. He then gave me the confidence to apply for new opportunities in sectors I would never have considered.

I am now embarking on a new career.

Thanks Paul!!

Many thanks for your lovely review.

I found the experience extremely positive. Paul is an extremely warm and welcoming personality. He makes you feel at ease in the conversations and it never feels like there is any judgement being made on your opinions, even when you reveal some of your more negative thought and opinions.
I am a reflective individual and I think if you enter these conversations with an open mind, a view that you don’t possess all the answers and are receptive to try the ideas suggested then I think you will experience a lot of personal growth.
I would suggest that you are well prepared for the sessions as the more thinking you do beforehand the more Paul can get from you in the discussion. I spent four sessions with Paul and in even in that short time I have developed a more robust tool kit for dealing with challenging situations in my work place environment.
I would highly recommend Paul as a coach and I feel the time I have spent with him as invaluable.

Thanks again Paul

Liam

I thoroughly enjoyed the coaching sessions with Paul. We discussed a range of topics in every session and there has been clear improvements in both my professional and personal life as a direct result of the coaching conversations. Paul listens well, is thoughtful and challenges your perceptions to support you to find solutions to problems or issues. More...

Business & Career Coaching

It has been a pleasure working with Paul. As I am undergoing a career change, the sessions helped me uncover my strengths, values and the potential paths I would like my career to go down. Paul helped me answer my own questions and provided me with advice and tools which have been proven helpful. He made me feel at ease on tricky subjects and communicated very well across the sessions. Thanks Paul for all your help over the past few months - I am sure we will speak again in the future. More...

The sessions with Paul were helpful as they helped me work through different career choices and gave me useful advice. It was good to be able to speak to someone impartial who could help guide me through my different career options and I feel affirmed in my choices after the sessions. Thanks for the help, Paul, I would recommend career coaching to anyone needing the help to figure out their options etc. More...

These sessions came at the right time. The initial meeting allowed me to reflect, take Pauls advice and guidance in ways to improve my situation, as I saw it, and act accordingly. Paul was professional, communicative and punctual to sessions, he was friendly throughout with excellent communication and feedback. A skill was in empathising with educational issues, and personal ones.
The relaxed style which Paul uses to encourage sharing and effective engagement was, I felt, important in making me look at myself. Overall, a very positive and valuable experience. Many thanks.

Paul was great to work with, listened to what I had to say and took the time to digest and work towards achievable outcomes. He was also aware of my values and needs and looked at solution based professional goals but also took into consideration my thoughts, strengths and weaknesses to find solutions.
Very professional in his approach, Paul also communicated well on a personal level, which helped the process to be a more comfortable experience.
I am very thankfull for the advice and guidance that he has given over my period working with him and he has helped me on to working on professional and personal goals which I had been reluctant to do.

Thanks for your advice and time Paul, it's been very much appreciated and welcomed.

I worked with Paul while i was struggling with a few things at the same time, such as family and work etc.
Paul helped me to see the difficulties from different perspective while giving everything a harmony. I think he very well identified what was laking in me and helped me to achieve it. More...

Paul is really open and flexible and gave me the space to explore lots of different topics and I always felt that we got a lot out of every hour. I really valued the sessions and appreciated the support and guidance from Paul. More...

The coaching I received from Paul helped me with a number of crucial career areas. It has helped me develop ways to approach certain situations in a different manner, but most importantly it has helped me focus in on my future career and made me realise that certain doors that I perceived to be closed are very much open. A direct result of this has led to me diversifying my career which will help with my long-term career growth. Paul was engaging and kept me focussed throughout our sessions – he did not make any decision for me but helped me develop my own solutions. To say it opened my eyes would be an understatement!

Paul gave invaluable recommendations at a time when I was going through lots of change in professional and personal life which helped me to thrive. He also helped me gain clarity and focus on managing many responsibilities. I would definitely seek support from Paul again in the future. More...

22 March 2021

Paul's coaching has given me so much confidence, and helped build my resilience so much over the six months we worked together. He helped me look at aspects of my life I found challenging, or at times hopeless, and gave me approachable ways to overcome my anxieties. Paul always listened very intently, providing guidance to help me process my thoughts. Step by step, I was able to use the tools from coaching to face these challenges, and build my confidence and outlook for the better. He's also super nice, and a very interesting guy who's full of great advice and genuinely wants you to do well! More...

Paul is a great coach. He allowed me to talk through the problems I was having without judgement and then helped me to find my own path through the issues, rather than leading me himself. We spent a few sessions and moved from me not knowing what I wanted to do, to having a solid 3-year plan for the next steps in my career. I would recommend Paul to anyone looking to advance themselves further in their career or even for someone who wants to find out a but more about their strengths and abilities and how they are suited to their current role.

Coaching has helped me take control of my emotional reactions and negative, unhelpful thoughts and feelings in challenging situations, particularly in my work as I manage teams. By learning more about myself I have gained a new confidence and perspective. I think most of the barriers I felt I had were self-made, and Paul helped me see solutions I just hadn’t considered. Together we were able to think through problems I couldn’t solve on my own. Overall it was a hugely positive and valuable experience, which has left me with tools to continue my personal development on my own. More...

Life coaching has really helped me to recognise what I have power to change when so many things feel completely outside my control. Talking through work & home life has enabled me to prioritise my own well-being, helped me to focus on the present and therefore made it easier to deal with pressures/stresses.

Paul is a calming influence, a great listener & always puts me at ease. Initially, I was unsure on what I wanted to achieve & Paul was able to gently guide me to work this out for myself.

I would definitely recommend life coaching with Paul. I think anyone & everyone could benefit from talking to him!

Q&As

I have a passion to help people overcome obstacles and develop the skills and confidence needed to live life to its full potential. As someone who has tried to work things out for myself and being unwilling to accept help, I learned the hard way how to think differently; and thinking differently has had a transformative effect on my life. Coaching provides a safe space to think while being guided, supported and encouraged through to successful plans, actions and outcomes.

I have 40 years of professional experience. For 30 years I have been helping people and teams in a range of industries and at all organisational levels solve problems related to safety, system complexity, and human behaviour. For over 10 years I managed a large team of consultants, and for several years I was a university lecturer and course organiser.

I became a coach because I wanted to share my wealth of experience with those who are earlier in their career journeys through coaching, as I have found coaching to provide a safe and valuable space to think whilst being guided, supported, and encouraged through to effective plans, actions and outcomes.

I am able to draw on a wealth of knowledge and experience drawn from a long and rich professional career that informs my coaching practice.

My coaching adopts a structured approach that incorporates recent findings from positive psychology and neuroscience. Also, when helpful, I employ psychometric tools to inform the coaching process. These tools include: Strengths Profiler, Values Discovery, 16Personalities Test, Enneagram Personality Test, Belbin Team Roles, and Career Preference Questionnaires.

I offer an obligation-free taster session and consultation so you can explain what you are looking for and for me to understand fully your needs so the coaching will be tailored to your individual requirements. It is an opportunity for you to ask all your questions, decide about coaching, and make sure you get a coach you will be comfortable working with.

My fee for a coaching session (normally 1 hour) depends on the type of service and package (length and number of sessions). Discounts are available when booking further sessions.

Customer reviews about my coaching services can be found on my website (www.paulhollywell.com).

I currently provide all my coaching services remotely via video conferencing.

Services

My on-line business, leadership and career coaching services include both coaching and mentoring. My coaching helps people: (i) gain confidence, insight, and encouragement, (ii) make informed career decisions, and (iii) understand what’s needed to achieve a fulfilling and rewarding career. My mentoring guides people on various business skills (including team leadership and management, time management, meetings and presentations, dealing with change, motivation and delegation, and giving staff feedback) and using career tools and techniques (including CVs, cover letters, interviews, networking).

Career coaching doesn’t find a job for you, but it helps you work out what you want to do and how to get it. This process is likely to take several sessions, giving you enough time to work through your anxieties, and enabling you to be inspired and motivated to move forward with some fresh ideas. We will work together to discover: (a) what you want to do, and (b) how you want to get it.

My fee is £40 a session (1 hour). There are discounts when booking further sessions. Customers found this good value in reducing stress and anxiety.

Why don’t you request an obligation-free taster session and consultation to help you decide about coaching?

My on-line welling coaching services support people in developing the knowledge, skills and confidence to actively reach their own wellbeing goals so as to live healthy and fulfilling lives. Rather than just focusing on a single problem area, wellbeing coaching works with a person to identify concerns or issues in all areas of their life. I enjoy working with people of all ages and from all walks of life who have a real desire to get the most out of their lives by overcoming obstacles and developing the skills and confidence to live life to the full.
