Senior Director in Luxury Goods
“First, Gavin guided me through a structured self-assessment that helped me reflect on my professional drivers and past experiences. Despite having worked with several coaches and professional development programs in the past, this process was truly eye-opening.
With Gavin’s support, I regained clarity, renewed confidence, and—most importantly—was able to identify the right next step for my career. His ability to understand how I work best, combined with his structured accountability and no-nonsense, practical advice, made a real difference.
Gavin's coaching directly helped me navigate key conversations, build meaningful connections, and position myself with confidence. Today, I’m in a senior leadership role that aligns perfectly with my values and strengths, and I credit much of that trajectory to the clarity and momentum I gained through our work together.
I highly recommend Gavin to anyone looking to step into a more impactful, fulfilling phase of their career.”
