Kofi has been a great source of professional guidance during the last 10 years of my career journey. Drawing from his extensive experience in executive recruitment and using additional resources, he has helped me to identify and understand my strengths and the constraints within which I operate. His insight has been key in infusing fresh energy into charting a course in my career which will bring me fulfilment and purpose. I would highly recommend his services.

Working with Kofi was a very positive experience and I’d highly recommend getting in touch to help achieve your goals.
He is an excellent communicator, and provided on point guidance to improve my performance and maximise the opportunity at hand.
I particularly appreciated Kofi’s authenticity, honesty and deep engagement in all of our conversations. As a result our discussions were rich with content and very comfortable from the outset, providing a very ripe environment for new perspectives to flourish!

I managed to resolve the relationships I had previously spoken to you about which is great.
The new role is honestly amazing, the culture here is everything I have looked for in terms of work/life balance, sociability, the work I am involved in on a day to day, progression, just wonderful!
Thank you for all of your support during my effort to leave my previous roles, your words truly helped make a difference!

Kofi has a great ear for listening, giving the time and space for people to think and therefore make better decisions. He has great empathy and a really positive vibe. Absolute pleasure working with him.

​​I studied with Kofi on the Academy of Executive Coaching Practitioner Diploma. The focus of our work was refining the skills of effective listening and questioning, avoidance of judgment or giving advice, and raising awareness in our clients for them to take responsibility and work through issues or dilemmas. I was part of a small working group and experienced Kofi both as a coachee and coach and was also able to observe him coaching others. From the start he showed his passion for supporting those aspiring to higher levels of success. In practical terms in my experience Kofi is an excellent listener, quickly putting you at ease, checking expectations and needs and clearly contracting. He has a calm, attentive and reflective approach. He builds strong rapport quickly and makes insightful observations with questions that really make you think. He also shows the right amount of challenge and encourages clients to achieve tangible and measurable outcomes. I would not hesitate to recommend Kofi as an executive coach who brings considerable experience, expertise and energy to developing others and clearly cares deeply about doing this.

I reached out to Kofi for advice on early careers, and his response was both motivating and encouraging. He shared invaluable insights, drawing from his own experiences, and provided practical guidance tailored to my situation. Kofi even suggested potential career avenues that I had not previously considered, broadening my perspective and opening up new possibilities for my next role. His enthusiasm and belief in my potential instilled me with confidence and determination to pursue my future career goals and I am very thankful to him!

I've known Kofi in a professional capacity for close to 10 years and wholeheartedly recommend him as a coach.
Kofi's experience, skills and passion provide a powerful combination enabling him to listen with empathy, engage with curiosity and challenge appropriately to support individuals and organisations achieve results.
Kofi has infectious positive energy, and you never leave a meeting with Kofi without a smile and some ideas on what to do next! I had one short unplanned session with Kofi and can honestly say he helped me more in a 20mins conversation than many hours of self-reflection! You won't regret a session with Kofi!

I have enjoyed working with Kofi during the process he was a true inspiration and mentor. I found Kofi to be highly enthusiastic, articulate, and a skilled communicator. I believe Kofi stands out within his field due to his authentic willingness and ability to help others. I am fortunate to have worked with Kofi and have no hesitation recommending him.

LinkedIn is of course, all about making connections. However, you can be connected without being ‘connected’. With Kofi it was different. I reached out to him through LinkedIn and we crossed over from a virtual connection to in-person connections where we shared experiences. What I gained from Kofi were valuable career insights, depth of expertise and connections; selflessly offered, that helped guide and clarify my direction. His authenticity shines through. I hold him in high esteem and place the utmost respect and value on his counsel.
