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 Operations Manager, London

Yoshiro Seki, Corporate Auditor, R&D, Toshiba, Japan

"Thank you again for your effort... extraordinary attention to detail."

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!"

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."
