'I met with Dylan for a series of coaching sessions early 2016. Dylan is highly respectful, empathic, and considered in his approach to coaching and he was able to get to the heart of what was going on for me, so I could get beyond issues and get on with things.
I left each session feeling empowered, motivated and most importantly - with a clear perspective on my next steps. I am grateful for the experience and I strongly recommend Dylan to anyone looking to put their plans and projects into action.'
