What people are saying

“The insight we now have from staff experiencing their return to work is extremely valuable for improving our support to anyone returning from extending leave while juggling a whole new life and routine. It is  clear that everyone needs their own voice heard and for managers to be equipped; listening and working with individuals to find the right solution. this might not sound surprising, but having the data to back it up demonstrates how much we value the wellbeing of our employees and makes decision making swift and robust. Thank you.”

“Paul at North Face Consulting has helped us better understand how our people feel working at Sempre and developed improvements to consolidate and develop our culture. As well as helping us align our people practises with our business growth strategy, Paul has helped us put in place development plans for our people managers, and has helped us to define our Head of People role.

Paul helped us to overhaul our recruitment approach, which was instrumental in attracting high calibre individuals to the team. One key hire highlighted how the professionalism of our process was far in advance of companies many times our size and was a key factor in them joining Sempre.

Working with Paul is very easy, he’s very proactive and has helped us to drive through the changes not just take a back seat – we needed this. Paul is always available for a quick chat and has added value throughout our relationship by keeping us abreast of an everchanging landscape. I would strongly encourage you to add Paul to your team.”

Paul is a fantastic coach; I honestly wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to any organisation (or individual too) looking for wellbeing coaching for their staff. Paul is empathetic, realistic, gives great feedback during and after; I found his coaching highly useful and a real godsend when I needed it most.

It’s to easy to be busy with endless tasks and get lost with so many possible paths to take; when in a start up business. Then feel hopeless with gurus and endless social media feed full of glowing successful entrepreneurs (saying it is simple you need to buy their book or product to learn the magic formula). One of my best investments made is North Face Consulting; Paul has been invaluable, brought out my inner resourcefulness and allowed me to maximise my TEAM (i.e. Time, Energy, Attitude and Money) and my wider team around me.

Fantastic help with employment contracts, made it easy for me which is always good. Recommended!

Paul is a dynamic, driven and really supportive coach who has a passion for his work and the people he works with. His energy and enthusiasm is contagious and he brings a real sense of genuine interest in his work and how this relates to others. He is pragmatic, balanced and solutions focused – excellent qualities in a leader. He is able to bring people with him, and it his authentic interest in developing others that really stands out.

Thank you ever so much for your insightful work around the challenges of recruitment and retention faced by children’s charities in Surrey. This will help a range of charities to make better informed choices about the actions that they take to address staffing issues, through a combination of collaborative and/or individual action.  This is the third piece of work that you have done for us and as usual, it is a pleasure to work with you. I am sure that we will be back again.

Paul and North Face Consulting have been very helpful to my business. Paul has a great depth of knowledge and understanding of how businesses work. He is a great listener who has been an inspiration to my business. Paul helps business leaders confidently develop, grow and plan. His delivery is clear, inspiring and motivational. Thank you for your help.

I have just finished a year-long growth project working with Paul, it’s been a great experience and extremely useful, operational through how to identify possible areas for growth, plans to stimulate that growth, putting those plans into action and more. Just the fact that it makes you take a step back from the day-to-day and evaluate areas of your business is invaluable. Paul has great insights and a wide range of contacts. Highly recommended.

Paul brought support, insight and constructive challenge to our Senior Management Team. He provided great feedback and his coaching skills have been invaluable in helping us take the next steps as we continue to grow as individuals and as a team.
