What Philip Gimmack's clients say
"I found Philip inspirational in his approach. I enjoyed all our sessions, I learned a lot and thought that they were thought provoking, and I will keep up the daily diary and keep reflecting on emotions. I consider myself in a much more relaxed and happier place with my work life, more aware of situations and reactions/behaviours of others. I feel more attuned to people’s moods, have improved reading the room and generally feel the EQ coaching worked tremendously for me. I have enjoyed working with Philip from the moment we met, his easy going, practical teaching style has been brilliant. The progress I have made in the last few months has been tremendous. I am very happy to recommend Philip to other people. His coaching style has been a life changing experience. I have no doubt others will find Philip’s unique emotional intelligence assessments and insightful coaching approach to leadership as engaging and valuable as I have. "
"Enlightening and more than I expected. Thought-provoking. Philip, thanks a million for the course yesterday. It was a really great experience; I definitely learned a lot from it."
"I was lucky enough to have a one to one resilience training session with Philip a few weeks ago. It has completely changed my manner in the way that I deal with issues in the workplace but has also transferred over to the way I cope with things in my personal life too. Philip is a great listener and I walked out of our session feeling very positive and feeling like it had."
"Philip is the master of listening and instilling calmness and resilience in the work place. He also instils confidence within you, without you really noticing. You really did make an impact here - thanks!"
"WOW, you made a massive impact here on Friday. People were buzzing and we can't wait for our next session! So invaluable. Thank you, Philip, from the team at Talent Point."
"I have had the pleasure of working with Philip over a number of years. His flexibility in designing workshops which meets the needs of the audience is first class. He is an engaging speaker and his emotional intelligence workshops are always very well received. What has always impressed me is his willingness to engage with participants after the event and sign post them..."
"Philip came in to run a session for Department for Transport’s Diversity and Inclusion week for around 60 staff members. The session lasted three hours and was really well received with great feedback from participants. There was a great appetite in the department to learn more about emotional intelligence and Philip’s session really did meet their expectations. His style..."
"Philip presented a session of around 60 middle managers at an event focussing on their career aspiration. The session lasted just over an hour and was very well received with excellent feedback. I engaged a number of delegates in 1:1 face to face feedback with a similar outcome. As a result we are talking to Philip about further work with our organisation to help us to enhance our development offer to members. I am very happy indeed to recommend Philip."
"Coaching programme feedback: I have been hugely impressed by Philip's understanding of me, the ways he's managed to push me to address the things I need to… Overall the most incredible thing – for which I am profoundly grateful – is that over a short period of time I have really seen the impact of our work in my ability to function successfully at work – especially in those areas I really wanted to address. I can hardly believe how massive that impact has been, and it's been repeatedly noted and commented on (in good ways and unprompted) by colleagues. I will look back on this work as a turning point in my professional life, I think."
"I believe I am very self-aware and yet the session has opened my eyes to being more conscious of listening to how I actually feel. I recognise I ned to pay much greater attention to this and develop this going forward. Great session. Most useful of the whole event."
"The seminar about personal resilience and personal responsibility was excellent. Philip Gimmack had a good approach with the audience."
"Coaching programme feedback: Phil has been coaching me for the last 3 years. He has made an enormous difference in how I approach work, from how well I work with my stakeholders, to knowing what's important to me. I have developed considerably in my awareness, leadership skills and how I deal with people and challenging situations. The challenge Phil gives me makes me focus on what's important. All of the interventions we have discussed and worked on are very doable, and I am able to do this during a very hectic work schedule. You must give it a go. You won't regret it."
"Great insights into improving and developing my personal leadership style. Understanding better the balance of taking time out when necessary to remain calm. Thank you!"
"Philip, you deserve a huge thank you! you worked very hard for us and your delivery was excellent. I really enjoyed your session on Personal Resilience ….. ..very appropriate!"
