Hamish is one of the most elegant, empathic and effective coaches I have worked with. As his coaching supervisor, I can tell you he is one of the most ethical, educated and sincere coaches I have come across.

Earlier this year, I was lucky enough to have Hamish as a client, and the work he did with me was respectful, personalised, challenging, and life-changing.  I would not hesitate to recommend Hamish for anyone looking for a coach who is incredibly trustworthy and exceptionally skilled.

Hamish coached me to untangle a web of difficult internal puzzles that had been troubling me for years. He did this knowing when and exactly how much to nudge, guide, encourage or wait.

He’s a kind, gifted and constructive person who knows how to change things. He used that gift to help me learn and operate in a way that made me more comfortable, productive and resilient, and moreover, helped me figure out how to help others.

I'm truly grateful for Hamish's expertise and ability to connect with people. He’s made a very real and very helpful difference in my life, and I can thoroughly attest to his ability to do the same for others.

After 15 years in my professional career that was reasonably successful, I felt I hit a brick wall. I felt lost and unclear about where I should focus my energy on in the future and more importantly who I am and what motivates me. That was the time when I met Hamish. We decided to work with each other to help me find the answers.

It was a completely new experience for me. I found his coaching approach was gentle, kind, supportive, trusted with clear purpose of mind. He was present in every session we had and actively listened to me and provided guidance when needed. He crafted his questions and asked me at the right time to push me to go deeper into my feelings and thoughts.

I would describe the experience as awakening, enlightening and life changing. I have discovered a new self that has been buried in me for many years. Being proudly pragmatic, logical and scientific, he has managed to change my mindset completely in a very good way.

I now feel clear, purposeful, grounded and calmer in every situation. I can’t recommend Hamish enough to those who share the same feeling of uncertainty and unclarity and look for purpose, meaning and a way to find joy in work and personal life.

Hamish excels in fostering relationships. He demonstrates exceptional insight and has seamlessly integrated into our team to provide coaching for performance and development over an extended period of time.

You'll often hear me say with complete sincerity, "Hamish changed my life" - but of course I know he'd tell me "you did that yourself." Hamish has been the key to unlocking immense potential, drive, and heart for myself and my team. His teachings and conversations have created a much more productive and efficient working environment at our company without losing the spirit of what makes this such a great place to work.

As part of REA Group's executive coaching program, I was given some time over the course of a year for coaching with Hamish. I had expectations that I might learn a thing or two to navigate difficult work situations, but what I got was positively life changing. Hamish created a safe environment for me to be really challenged in order to do some deep personal growth work.

He knew exactly what to say to respectfully question some of my thoughts and perceptions and encourage that shift in me as a whole person (not just from a work or personal perspective), and also what tools were right for me. At the end of the 12 months I can say that I have made some huge personal improvements (some of which have represented a lifetime of challenges) which have helped me immensely as a leader also.

I am incredibly grateful to Hamish for this highly impactful work that has hands down been the best development work I have ever done in my life / career to change my thoughts, behaviours and leadership style in the most positive way.

Hamish’s ability to utilise his advanced coaching skills and knowledge to change behaviours and develop leadership skills sets him apart from other learning and development professionals. I highly recommend him to organisations and individuals seeking a coach that will make a difference.

Hamish has been an inspirational coach throughout my leadership journey and our team's. His calm energy and curiosity together with the tools he gave in an engaging and thought-provoking way has helped unlock what was within me; enabling me to find my voice and build my confidence. I loved all his humorous stories and his uncanny ability to connect with all in our team in an individual way.

— Sang Johnson, GM Saba

Hamish crafted a program that challenged my current way of being, and opened my eyes to new ways of doing business. He did so in a very supportive environment that enabled me to stretch beyond my comfort zone to achieve measurable, clear outcomes. He listens, reflects and delivered a bespoke coaching program that I highly recommend to anyone who is seriously ready to take the next step for personal and professional growth... and he made it an enjoyable process -which made a world of difference.
