Hello.
I grow people.

Enabling business owners, CEOs, corporate leaders and senior managers – to be more successful.

My name is Adrian Reith. In 30 successful years running communications businesses the biggest limiting factor I see is people. Not just other people. Ourselves.

For some reason we often get in our own way – preventing the success that we strive for. This inspired my training as a coach. Below (according to my clients) is what I do. First I enable them to clarify their situation:

“It was a bit like going in with a plate of spaghetti. All Adrian did was help me straighten the strands.”

Then I ask irritating questions:

“It was an irritating, difficult, but incredibly powerful question based on the assumption that I have all the answers inside me and my problem is that I just can’t get at them. It forced me to think things through and take responsibility for my conclusions.”

The best work requires … er … work:

“The first few sessions were low key, they were difficult and energising. But I had still had no clear idea of where I was going.”

Every client is different of course, but after clarity and direction comes energy to act:

“But after about our fourth session, something strange started happening. All of a sudden my energy and purpose came flooding back. It became crystal clear to me for the first time what I need to do.”

Even medical doctors find my method powerful:

“Adrian, the best bloody thing I’ve done in my life… apart from marry Linda.” Dr M, Director of Strategy, budget £1billion

My big passion is growing people who can make better things happen faster – whatever their work context. The top 10 issues my clients tackle through coaching are to Increase Personal Impact, Career Development, Confidence, Transition Management, Managing Challenging People, Work/Life Issues, Giving Difficult Feedback, Behaviour Change, Stress and Relationships.

Everyone is different so I have no template. I don’t advise clients, that’s too easy and cheap. The real value is – when the client shuts up all the internal ‘voices’ – what remains. That’s the real work.

A tandem is my metaphor. The client is in front steering, deciding the destination, how they want to get there. At the back I provide power, inspiration and speed. The client is always in control.

If you are considering inviting me to be your coach the most important factor in our coaching relationship is making sure we are a good ‘fit’, with excellent personal rapport and compatibility. I’d be delighted to hear from you, contact me here. Your next step … is free.
