We’ve had the privilege to coach and mentor some amazing people over the years. We’ve loved working with them and they’ve said this ...

NC, Head of Communications - 2023

Jo mentored me for eight months or so. I had recently stepped up in my career and lacked confidence and guidance due to my new boss leaving. Not only did Jo put me at ease, but she helped me to believe in myself and my abilities as a confident and resourceful leader. She empowered me to find the answers in myself and explored my professional goals within my current role and beyond.

Jo is easy to talk to and is the right level of challenging yet compassionate in her coaching. I would highly recommend working with Jo

TS, Channel Sales Director - 2023

Your Executive Coaching program during the last year has been extremely impactful. The tools that you employed to bring self-awareness and discovery are foundational to shedding light on zones for improvement (health, family, recreation, etc). Your easy questioning and collaborative conversation allows goal setting to happen naturally and quickly. I was able to spark joy in these zones.

Having someone like yourself, someone very familiar to the industry, to discuss career challenges, customer obstacles and leadership tactics was such as asset. The work we did together brought balance to my life, allowing me to navigate a clearer path forward, with concise goals, which ultimately provides confidence, clarity and consistency across my happiness wheel. I feel more complete and grounded in my direction not just in my career but holistically.

SW, Marketing/Comms Manager - 2022

I had four coaching sessions with Simon when I was feeling stuck and unsure what my future career path looked like. Simon was great at listening to where I was at and what I felt my limitations were, whilst also challenging me when I needed it. It was a great mixture of working on personal and professional growth which has allowed me to think differently and be braver about my development. Being held accountable to goals has also helped keep me on track since. It was a helpful and enjoyable experience and I’m already seeing the benefit.

JC, Commercial Director - 2022

It’s 5 months since I left my previous role. This has given me time to take stock and reflect on where I have been and where I want to go - both in my life and my career. To stimulate that journey I engaged Simon Larard at Beech Hill Consulting Ltd and together we worked in partnership to help me understand my drivers, values and define an action plan to achieve my goals. I can't recommend Simon enough for anyone interested in engaging a coach

BJ, CEO/Professional Sports - 2022

I have had the opportunity to work with Simon for the past two months and I feel grateful to have benefitted from his guidance and support in respect of my own personal development. In our short time working together, Simon has gone to great lengths to get to know me as a person and has provided a welcoming environment that has given me the strength to explore my potential and self-worth, something I have struggled with immensely over the years. Simon’s compassion and genuine interest in my development is evident and I truly value the work we have done together. I’m really looking forward to continuing this into the future.

TM, Mental Health Lead - 2022

I have hugely enjoyed working with Jo. She is both perceptive and curious and that has been incredibly helpful in supporting me to explore my professional goals and broader needs.

Jo’s naturally compassionate nature makes it easy to share your experiences and ideas. I would thoroughly recommend working with Jo.

NH, Business Development Director - 2022

Simon really helped me think and talk through some of the challenges I was facing in an organised, empathetic and friendly way. He’s a natural coach.

I’ve experienced ‘Business Coaching’ before and our sessions were way more beneficial than those. We covered professional and personal topics and he helped me get and stay focused when I was operating in ‘grey’ areas or on auto pilot without realising. Simon also helped me understand strengths I have that I’ve previously not really understood. Extremely beneficial.

GV, Supply Chain Consultant - 2021

I’d like to thank Simon Larard who’s been an incredible coach and mentor through my journey back to work. Simon helped me remember some of my early career aspirations, helped me dream again and dream bigger, helped me feel more positive about the future. He also really challenged me to think through each role I applied for and whether they met my objectives both personally and professionally, in the short and long term so as to meet the life goals we established together.

TB, Commercial Director - 2021

I have worked with Simon for the past 6 months and it has had a truly profound impact on my life. Simon has an in incredible skill in cultivating a safe and collaborative environment, this combined with his holistic approach to coaching ensures that you are able to walk away from each session knowing you have made progress.

Simon’s coaching framework will help you identify your own resourcefulness and sharpen your ability for problem solving, empowering you to move towards your goals with clarity and confidence.

AS, General Manager/Professional Sports - 2021

I have worked with Simon for nearly four years and I just wanted to say how much help he has given me in this time. I work within an industry that is very independent with little in the shape of a career pathway but Simon has been able to help guide me on a route producing significant success. Simon not only knows how to engage with my strengths and passions but challenges me to improve. However, what has been so incredible is that our conversations and the tools he has provided have helped me immensely through difficult personal times. These tools, visualisations and processes will be part of my “backpack” for the rest of my life. I would wholeheartedly recommend Simon for a long term process or even just an initial chat to help question your views and feelings
