Noel's coaching support has led to productivity gains, high-performing multi-disciplinary teams and fostered a culture of psychological safety.
I can’t recommend Noel and his team enough. Their energy, enthusiasm, and belief in the importance of creating ‘human’ environments are infectious.

Noel has a remarkable talent and ability to identify areas for improvement and implement ways of working that empirically help form stronger teams.
If you're looking for a coach to drive meaningful change and elevate your team's performance, I wholeheartedly recommend Noel. You can tell he's not only top of his game but he truly enjoys it, does not take it for granted and puts a lot of work and effort into his craft.

I cannot thank Noel enough for his expert teaching, coaching and leadership during the departments agile transformation. His uncanny ability to get straight to the heart of the issue and ask all the right questions to empower direction and change is second to none.
Noel focusses on “people'' and the things that make us human, which results in enabling teams to get the job done.
Noel has an unbelievable amount of experience, and is able to operate with great confidence in uncertain environments and deliver value quickly.
He helped us stand up a new department, operationalise our process and bring a new agile delivery proposition to market.
This led to us being able to upsell to our existing clients and also brought in new clients that meant net new revenue in the hundreds of thousands of pounds.

Having Noel support us has transformed our working practices - it now feels as though the teams are actually starting to work in an agile manner as opposed to just saying and believing we were.
Having an independent authority who can freely question assumptions and highlight areas of improvement has given the team the confidence to look critically at their own practices, suggest their own improvements and embrace change with the knowledge they can always alter direction if it doesn’t work out.
Karmelo Virumbrales
Head of D&T - Diageo
Noel helped us achieve measurable improvements in customer centricity, cycle time, throughput, code quality and employee satisfaction.
Our teams have better visibility of the vision and priorities, are more coordinated and collaborative, able work across silos and support each other like never before.
​
Noel also consulted with our leadership team and helped embed a portfolio kanban, improving our ability to prioritise the right things at the right time and the way we think about delivering value to customers.
Every team needs a great coach. Over 6 months Noel become a key part of our journey at Yaser.uk, coaching me and my team on how to scale the business.
Having someone external to consult with, talk to, and bounce ideas around was invaluable. Retention rates have improved, revenue has increased, and our profit margin is better. I’m more confident to step away from the day to day work and focus on our strategy and growth for the future.
Running a small business can be lonely for founders without the support of a coach like Noel.

Working with Noel over a 6 month period helped me in so many ways!
I was able to establish clearer boundaries with other members of the c-suite. My clarity when providing feedback to my team improved so their confidence in knowing what’s expected of them increased dramatically.
Most importantly I learnt some key strategies for dealing with the day to day pressures on my role.
