Get in touch
“I’m relatively new to working in management and students unions and was struggling with burnout and low engagement levels with my work. Ollie has used his varied knowledge and skillsets to help me attain confidence and direction during what was a really hard time for me. We’ve worked on handling difficult conversations, improving campaign resources, problem solving election issues, being an empathetic and empowering manager and exploring the responsibilities of such a role. It’s been a very empowering experience and I feel much more confident in myself, in my work, and as a manager as a result. I’d very much recommend Ollie as a coach to anyone who is stuck in a rut and needing some help to get back on track.”
