Your views: Tony's clients talk back
"...[in] April I joined the Tokyo
office of Accenture... this week I had my first presentation at work. I was thinking
of what you taught me... [it] was a very useful experience."
Yordanka
Velichkova, Consultant, Accenture, Tokyo
"Thank you! I feel
I have learnt so much. [The coaching] has really helped me. I have passed your
name on to loads of people at Disney. I do look over my personal objectives and
affirmations and they do work and I also find myself ... [long list of competencies
given]."
Juliette Dixon, PA to Vice President within Disney Consumer
Products, London
"You'd think with an MBA from Portsmouth I wouldn't
have had a problem communicating and building business relationships in English.
What [Tony] showed me was how much more there is to it than just mastery of English.
[He] put communication skills training into a cross-cultural framework and we
looked at my behaviour, including voice, as part of the equation. I had been thinking
that it was just my accent and lack of words."
Catherine Yu, Sweet China
Plc., London
"I never realised expanding my communication skills
could be so much fun!"
Florence Lecuyer, Marketing Manager, Amazon.com,
London
"Tony, all I want to say is that I am lucky I got
your coaching support, especially how you are flexible and always ready to help."
Dr Mohammed N Fazaa, Pharmacist of AL-Rawdah Clinic, Gulf Spectra and AL-Mandeb
Contractors, Saudi Arabia Eastern Region
"I couldn't talk
to audiences at all. You gave me the confidence to speak to over a hundred medical
professionals and to TV cameras. Now after a few talks I have the skills I need,
plus it's become fun. My ICA feedback included 'You were great ... so compelling
and such a positive ending'. I can't imagine how anyone discovering public speaking
could move forward without your kind of coaching."
Diana Wilson -
Speaker for OCD-UK, a National Mental Health Charity
"I never thought
of coaching but you made me think about the impact I have in the marketplace,
which is particularly relevant for me right now."
Dr Matthew Williams
PhD, cross-cultural researcher, educator and writer, Sydney, Australia
"Even
though you think my English is good, I still had no idea I could actually address
a conference in English!"
Dr Adela Torbado Martinez, Consultant Anaesthetist,
Pamplona, Spain
"I think you rock."
Mohieb Dahabieh,
Company Director of MoDa's Touch, Creative director, stylist and celebrity publicist
"It is quite interesting that I'm now consulting for an orgnisation
based in the north-west ... and I really admit I got strong comptency not only
in English and business but also in terms of many other things I learnt from you
and I want to say thanks."
Tae Sun Yeom, Gaming Software Entrepreneur,
Korea
"Tony has been very good at analysing and taking into consideration
my needs and wishes to build up a complete program and help me improve the areas
I felt as being my weaknesses... I really enjoyed the way Tony teaches –
not too academic, very clever and open-minded – which made the sessions highly
interesting and helped me to improve my language level as well as my cultural
knowledge and awareness of the cultural and linguistic differences among English-speaking
countries."
Gwenaelle Boissel, Walt Disney Studios Home Entetainment,
London
"I certainly have a lot to say about your coaching (all positive
of course!). The thing that most impressed me is the style of your coaching and
the compassion you have for the subject. It helps me to realise quickly where
the problems are and how to improve them. Of course like many problems in life,
there may be no quick fix and you are very patient to accompany me through the
journey and most importantly to design effective ways to overcome them. Overall
your professionalism and commitment towards coaching makes the whole learning
process enjoyable and effective."
[Name witheld], Lecturer in Marketing,
Middlesex University, London
"Thank you so much for taking the time
last week to deliver such an informative and inspiring lecture. I am very grateful
to you and am sure the law students found it very helpful. Regards,"
Maureen
Spencer, Law Lecturer
"I just wanted to express my appreciation
for the presentation you gave on Friday. I thought it was very helpful especially
the element on presentations... My nerves and public speaking were connected in
a way I was finding difficult to understand. But you took my understanding and
mastering of these nerves several steps forward..."
Mulenga D Kaunda,
post-graduate student at London Metropolitan University
"Thanks
for getting my department in the newspapers. We look simply fabulous."
Dominique Joire, Manager Gateway Clinic, British National Health Service
"I
have learned a lot from this [training] course and I totally recommend it ..."
Roland Coudair, Banker, London
"I went to CityCV for help after
being rejected at the interview stages of 3-4 different graduate jobs. After one
session with Victoria, and one session with Tony, not only was I much better prepared
to answer competency questions but my confidence had been restored. On the day
of the interview every question asked by the interviewer we had covered the previous
day and I found out 2 hours later that I had successfully got the job! I would
recommend CityCV to any of my friends!"
Tom, Client of CityCV interview
coaching, London
"Thanks for your support in achieving my
professional and personal goals."
Roser Tarrias, Lawyer & Company

re-writing with [a] detailed understanding of [the] situation. I will contact
you again."

"Thank you again for your effort... extraordinary attention to
detail."
Martin Altemeyer, Economist, Germany
"I think
I have really benefited from your tutorials. Yesterday there was a final meeting
for validation of our programmes. The participants included the externals, the
reps from different departments in Middlesex and the Chair of the group, the programme
leaders, etc. My colleagues commented that I made a significant contribution by
making the right points in the right way at the right time [...] Your coaching
has really helped me to be more confident to speak in public. A big thanks to
you!"

"Just
a quick email to let you know that we are extremely happy with your work and think
you’ve done an excellent job. I particularly liked the supplementary report
you prepared since it shows all the thinking and work behind it and also proves
useful for us to learn a bit along the way. Thanks also for your overall comments
on the website design and tone of the copy. We are really glad that the message
comes through as intended."
Catherine Lelong, Partner and Director,

an excellent instructor."
