“I had the privilege of having Polly as my coach at a fairly significant stage of my career. She held my hand to the flame of my own commitments to change my paradigms, let go of my own strongholds and free myself of stranglehold assumptions. Being a coachee to her was a unique experience that took me into an exploration journey of self and clean the cobwebs of atavistic times. I feel renewed.”

"My time spent with Polly Archer in my executive coaching sessions was one of the best investments of my career. I had recently been promoted to a job 3 times the scope/responsibility of my previous role. Polly gave me the tools, insight and confidence in myself to make the step change required. The changes that I witnessed in myself were dramatic. I am now a more compassionate leader, and have changed my communication style for the better. I am much more settled and focused in my new role, and the results are starting to show. I received a great compliment from 2 colleagues today on how I acted with calm confidence under great pressure! Thanks Polly!"

"Tom has added real value during our coaching journey - he created an environment that allows telling insights to be generated from within me and helped me distil these down to practical steps and techniques that I've used each day to become a more effective business leader."

CFO-Europe, IHG

"Tom’s coaching helped me think more systematically about leadership and how to make changes and critical adjustments. This has been empowering for me—and my direct reports. His critical judgment and insights have led me towards better and more effective delegation, attention to the perceptions of others and the importance of thoughtful, sensitive communication. I have several decades of experience and yet Tom helped me believe that continuing to improve myself as a leader is not only possible but desirable and produces results almost immediately."
