"...[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
"Well, I have now had a chance to review the Influence
Skills work we went through, and I have particularly taken onboard the work related
to feedback. I have had a few situations where I needed to be a bit more diplomatic.
And it has prevailed with success… So all good! I've also been thinking a
bit more about roles and power. I used to come into work and just pump away at
doing my job, but I now realise that I need to be more strategic at work. So I
have been thinking about the people with power at work, and leveraging that power
to influence. As a result, I've started to see things coming my way a bit more...
so it's all very good! As such, I think our day has already proven itself in value...
Thank you!"
Todd King, National Online Marketing Manager, AMP Capital
Shopping Centres
"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

"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, Middlesex University,
London
"I was highly impressed with City CV. With only two days
to prepare for an interview I contacted the company and was booked in for two
telephone coaching sessions and a face-to-face mock interview. The coaching provided
me with a method of structuring each answer whereas I had previously just muddled
through interviews. The consultant who undertook the mock interview gave me further
advice about polishing my performance and by the end of the exercise I felt that
I could respond confidently to any questions I might be asked. The interview went
extremely well and after a few hours a member of the panel phoned and offered
me the job on a salary exceeding the advertised pay range! The City CV staff were
extremely friendly, professional and supportive and gave me the tools and confidence
to succeed in my interview. I will certainly be recommending them to friends and
colleagues."
Alex Pridgeon, Successful job candidate after coaching
with Tony Corballis
"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
"Tony does
unique work. The time that we have spent on communication analysis together led
to quite a few revelations and provided me with quite specific areas to address
and to grow. Highly recommended!"
Vadim Roussin, Consultant Business
Development Exectutive, London
"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 City CV Ltd.
interview coaching, London
"Thanks for your support in achieving
my professional and personal goals."
Roser Tarrias, Lawyer &
Company Operations Manager, London

you again."
Yoshiro Seki, Corporate Auditor, R&D, Toshiba, Japan
"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!"
[Name witheld], Senior Lecturer, Middlesex University, London

Kunihiro Hayashida, Advertising Exec, The Asahi Shimbun Company, Japan

Dr Adela Torbado
Martinez, (former) Bilingual GP, Centro Médico Vida, Spain
"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."
