About Tony
Before your business can reach its full potential, first you have to reach yours.
You are your business. Your business is you.
Which means your personality is your business’s personality.
And your behaviours are your business’s behaviours.
Now that’s great if you’re dynamic and a go getter and someone who loves a
challenge. Because your business will be the same.
But what if you’re a ‘safe’ person? What if the slightest risk brings you out in cold sweats? What if you’re shy and the thought of picking up the phone or attending networking nights is way out of your comfort zone? Then your business will not progress as you’d like it to.
And most of us have limiting beliefs. Which means our businesses are being held back by them and you don’t even realise it.
And that’s where I come in!
I can help you make the necessary changes, whether it be helping you gain confidence, be more positive, act more assertive or removing your limiting beliefs.
And these changes in you will mean changes in your business which will mean changes in your results.
In other words, your business will have an opportunity to reach its full potential and ultimately achieve outstanding results.
I’m a Creative Coach and Consultant who has a passion for brands. Brands like Coca Cola, P&G, Hewlett Packard, Jaguar, Budweiser and Visa. And that’s because I’ve worked on all these brands and hundreds more as an Art Director for the past 23 years in the world of Advertising and Marketing at some of the biggest agencies in the world, including Saatchi & Saatchi. And I’ve picked up a few awards on the way.
I’ve now taken all this experience as a creative and merged it with my other passion, helping people. And as a Creative Coach who specialises in marketing and advertising, I’m now working with small business owners and entrepreneurs to help them move their business to the next level and achieve better results.

Experience
I’m a Creative Coach and Consultant as well as being an NLP Practitioner with over 20 years experience in the world of advertising and marketing as an Art Director. I’ve worked for some of the biggest agencies in the world like Publicis and Saatchi & Saatchi and produced work for some of the biggest brands in the world like Coca Cola, Hewlett Packard, Visa and Royal Mail to name just a few. I’m bringing together all this marketing expertise and merging it with my coaching credentials to help small business owners and entrepreneurs take their businesses to the next level and to achieve better results.
Coaching style
I bring over 20 years of working in some of the biggest agencies in the world as a creative. I have worked on every media possible, including tv, press, posters, Direct Mail, radio, leaflets, emails, online and social media. Not forgetting mobile. I not only help small business owners and entrepreneurs move forward by helping maximise their potential with my coaching and NLP skills, I help maximise their business's potential by firstly getting them to build their brand(because every one of you is exactly that, a brand) and secondly helping them with their marketing strategies, website, social media and any other marketing. I teach digital advertising at the European communications school and, with my business partner, run 2 day seminars where business owners walk away with their own website which they have built! And also full of knowledge about branding, tone of voice, understanding their target audience, the do's and don's of a website, building client relationships, how to use Google analytics, understanding Pay Per Click and more!
People relate to me and the way I coach. Here are a few nice words from my clients:
“I felt at ease during our sessions and felt that we had good rapport which made it easier for me to come up with ideas and be motivated to achieve my goals. I feel that I have grown as a person through our sessions and therefore the benefits have been great. As far as I’m concerned, Tony is a natural! An excellent coach who I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to others needing to find a good coach!”
“I found Tony to be very tolerant and completely understanding when I had to change appt times. I never ever felt a nuisance. And he quckly rearranged times with no fuss.His understanding of the many subjects we covered was extremely impressive. I am still putting into practice some of his teachings & would without doubt use & see Tony again.”
“Tony enabled me to have a vision for a much brighter future and to identify specific projects that would bring me closer to how and where I would like to live, how I would support myself in a way that was congruent. He also connected me to NLP again; something that had helped me enormously in the past but that I’d lost sight of after being controlled to a large extent by external circumstances. Tony is a very good NLP Practitioner and knew the right exercises to help me overcome different types/levels of ‘fear.”
Remember, Big journeys begin with small steps and I’ll help you take them.
