Neil had popped up on my LinkedIn feed at multiple occasions in the months leading up to the publication of the internal AD5 competition. What ultimately convinced me to take one of his courses was the positive feedback I received from former clients that had successfully passed a competition with Neil's support. I can now only echo this feedback. Taking Neil's course provided me with a broad arsenal of tools and techniques to tackle the written test. Most importantly, it helped me recalibrate my approach in a way that made my responses more structured and comprehensive under time pressure. Structured, rich, concise, innovative - I can only recommend working with Neil in preparation for an upcoming competition.

When preparing for the Commission internal competition interview, Neil helped me to know how to start and where to focus with the time I had. It was a continuous exchange of practice and feedback, targeting the areas where I needed to work the most. Having Neil as a coach changed my approach to interviews. He showed many useful techniques that made it easier to structure the answers better, and I gained confidence in presenting in my personal way. All in all, I would recommend Neil to anyone who wants to get better in public speaking, presenting, or interviews. He is really there for you not only for the coaching sessions but much beyond - always just a message away!

I reached out to Neil when I wanted to pass an internal competition. Spoiler alert! - I passed :) But he did not only point me in the right direction, which spared me countless hours of unfocused and inefficient preparation, he also taught me how to speak and write with impact and how to manage my mindset in order to succeed. We worked together for almost 9 months and I have to say, without exaggerating, that it was the best investment in myself and my career that I have made so far.

Neil supported me throughout my preparation for an internal concours. His feedback was thorough, insightful, and genuinely pivotal to my success. Thanks to his extensive experience, he helped me focus on what truly mattered, allowing me to dedicate my energy to preparation that actually made a difference. I recommend him to anyone preparing for a similar process.

I attended Neil's two intensive one-day workshops (in small groups) - one on presentation skills and one on motivation and competency-based questions. Both sessions were extremely useful, practical, and hands-on, providing techniques and personalised feedback that helped me in succeeding an internal EPSO concours. He has a talent for helping candidates stand out, focusing on clear structure, confident delivery, and the small but powerful adjustments that make a real difference. He also shared a lot of resources, including materials on stress management and practical tips for preparation and performance. I'm convinced that his coaching played a key role in my success. I fully recommend him to anyone!

Neil is an amazing coach when going through the EU internal competitions - guiding and motivating you both during the written and oral tests. He challenged me on where I could do better and improved my thinking along the lines of the competition framework. He built my confidence and helped solidfy what was going well already. Not to mention the helpful tips & tricks - sometimes very much "out of the box". Defintely to be recommended!

Neil is the kind of coach you wish to have when you are going through a tough recruitment procedure. His support goes far beyond the coaching sessions themselves—he is there every step of the way, guiding and motivating you throughout the entire preparation process, whether for job interviews or challenging internal competitions. Working with Neil feels like having a personal trainer for your mind: he sharpens your skills, builds your confidence, and helps you perform at your very best. 100% recommend him!!!

Neil played an instrumental role in helping me pass an EU competition, providing invaluable guidance and support throughout the entire process. From the very first session, Neil's coaching was a perfect fit for my needs, as he took the time to get to know me, explain the process and practicalities, and provided a wealth of resources and documents in a structured manner to support my individual preparation. What sets Neil apart as a coach is his ability to help individuals bring out their own personality and story, rather than trying to 'mould' them to fit a specific style. I could share my concerns or doubts and find solutions that fit me best personally. This unique approach not only helped me excel in the competition but also sparked my interest in exploring further the power of storytelling for my future career. Neil was available to answer questions and provide feedback, supporting me not only during coaching sessions but also quickly replying outside of them. He offered practical tips (from time management, to desk setup or breathing exercises) to help me stay calm and focused. I would recommend Neil to anyone seeking to make progress in their career, as his coaching style is personalised, supportive, and genuinely invested in the success of his clients, making him an exceptional mentor and trainer.

Neil helped me getting prepared for a European Parliament's internal competition. His training sessions focussed on strengthening my skills for the oral part of the exam. He was extremely supportive and personally involved, always to the point, providing constructive feedbacks. The fact that I successfully passed the competition is a good example that his advice worked well! I would definitely recommend Neil because he is experienced, adapts his training to your needs and is a very very pleasant person.

Neil is not a regular coach. Do you need somebody to get you out of your comfort zone in order for you to finally reach your true potential? When I started my coaching sessions with Neil, I had one objective: to pass the competition, which became much more than this. After 6 months of coaching, I am better at managing people, the tight deadlines and the most ridiculous amounts of work. I am also a better analyst, communicator and prioritise better (aka saying no and putting myself first) Neil is like this life manual that you never knew you needed. He did not only trained me on methods to study better, work more effectively, read faster, negotiate without losing my cool but also integrated the physical aspect of what human bodies are able to do if we only we do breathing for one minute. I worked in Brussels for 5 years and never was I even close to working with a coach like Neil. I fully recommend, if you are ready to boost your leadership and communication skills...and many more!
