This is a selection of testimonials coaching and mentoring clients have given me.

“I have known and worked with Pete for over four years now and always found him to be a source of common sense yet innovative ideas. His patience is boundless and I would highly recommend anyone considering coaching for their personal development to speak to Pete – you know it makes sense!” Janet Torley

“Simply outstanding - coaching support, development and professionalism – an all-round package.”Dicksons

“The coaching you offered me through the development meetings proved to be invaluable, as gradually everything seemed to fall into place and the team of 14 departed Jinja, Uganda with £7,200 which allowed us to exceed our expectations for the work we completed.”Leeds University Charity Leader

“Our coaching and mentoring work with Pete has directly increased our profits this year and our investment in his support has been the best one we have made in our business career to date.” Unique Marketing Solutions

“I would like to express my appreciation for the very real coaching assistance that I received from the meetings. It had been obvious for some time that both my team and I were far too heavily loaded work wise and it was having a bad effect on our collective health. Despite clear analysis and formal recognition of this problem I felt that I was not getting anywhere in dealing with it, and that I was being treated unsympathetically by my line manager. My team was becoming increasingly unhappy and I was struggling to hold the show together. The situation has now turned around completely because of the leadership course and with a very specific and valuable input from yourself.”Highlands & Islands Director

“The year we spent working with Pete enabled us to really focus on where we wanted the business to be within the next 3-5 years. Having clearly identified where we wanted to be Pete coached us to establish our present position and then provided very clearly set out, action based solutions and outcomes. Invaluable!”Living Solutions

“Thanks for your facilitation of the team’s development day carried out recently. It was interesting to see how the individual role types worked out and this certainly gave the team some food for thought. The most beneficial aspect was the action focused goal setting and action planning section. It was clear to us that we were not working in synchronicity with the organisation as a whole – we are now!” Executive Director

“Pete’s challenges, support and diverse knowledge of leadership and management skills meant I was able to get past where I wanted to more quickly than I thought possible. His ability to help you see your vision and go for it has helped me get to where I am today. If anything he helps you believe in what you are and focuses you on the right skills to achieve your goals.” Executive Director

“Our leadership and management skills have been vastly improved which has led us to areas we did not expect to reach for a while.” Framework Clinics Director

“Working with Pete’s coaching programme led directly to my two promotions to senior director levels within a two year period.” Scottish Power Executive

“Thank you for your contribution to the International Coaching Conference. The workshop sessions were a crucial part of the event and the effectiveness of your role as a facilitator was vital. It is clear from the notes from the workshop that you led that your group really entered into the spirit of the day and produced much food for thought. Thanks you again for rising to the challenge.” Coaching and Mentoring Institute

“I had the opportunity of using Pete Mackechnie’s coaching services in order to move my business forward. He is extremely good at what he does, and highly qualified as well. What I found was that he was easy to get on with and you knew exactly what he was putting forward, making it easy to implement, and I was able to see immediate results, which in turn, motivated me to carry on with his programme. I have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone wanting to move their business forward.” Steve Jones-WPA

“So three months down the line where are we? I have already achieved one annual sales target with 7 months to go. I am on course to meet all other targets before the year end. I am confident in what I do. I have a clearer focus on problem solving and my self-esteem has returned. These are only a few of the changes I have seen as a direct result of being coached by you.” Royal Bank of Scotland Executive

“Pete’s business and management planning template and his professional management and coaching approach has given us a huge boost forward. His focus on our leadership and management skills and the way he helped our development of successful outcomes has led us to a far greater turnover than we imagined.” Wallace

“Pete’s extensive management and coaching experience has been a great resource to me and the development of my business. He is able to quickly identify a problem and help me find solutions to it. He has been able to provide extremely useful skills transference sessions in areas such as presentations skills, leadership, management and business planning skills.” Minuteman Press Owner

“Pete, Apart from the content, the tie-in with book sales at the end is a fantastic method. The content itself is concise, meaningful, practical, dynamic and well expressed. You’ve set a BHAG for anyone wanting to emulate you with this one!” Hugh Todd-The Todd Coaching Company Ltd
