Testimonials from Stage 4 Coaching Clients

“Through a series of sessions, Arvid provided a safe, welcoming, comfortable space which allowed me to analyse and assess my values and align them with what I wanted to do next professionally. Through the work we did I was able to set clear, realistic goals and produce a practical pathway in order to achieve these as well as solving specific problems that were faced along the way”

“My coaching sessions with Arvid over the last few months have been a really positive experience. In particular, these have helped me with some professional and personal decisions, which I am certain I would not have reached as easily otherwise. Arvid supported me in reflecting on different options available to me and ways to action these. He was very approachable, accommodating and easy to talk to. His personalised approach was the perfect blend of listening and challenging, allowing me to get the most out of his sessions”

“My coaching sessions with Arvid over the last few months have been very helpful in encouraging me to explore and reset my career and life direction. Arvid provided a calm, contemplative, and safe environment for me to reflect and work out my way forward and he provided tools which helped me to better understand my values, and how I could align my life plans with them. With gentle questioning he encouraged me to reflect on what I really want and need at this stage in my career. My coaching sessions have resulted in greatly improved clarity and an exciting action plan which I am enjoying implementing. This was exactly what I needed to help me get unstuck and move forward”

"I got so much out of the coaching sessions with Arvid. He knew when to dig deeper with his questions, which really got me thinking on a different level—without ever being judgmental. That made me feel free and safe to share even very personal things with him. Some time has passed now, and I’m still benefiting from the experience. The exercises and assignments were (and still are) really helpful in helping me move forward on my path. Thank you so much, Arvid!"
