Testimonials

Gary Jaffer

“Running a creative business, especially at a young age and for the first time, can be tough. I have been fortunate to have Gary Jaffer at my side as both a long-time mentor and business coach to help me navigate the cut and thrust of people management, strategic planning and new business.
Our regular sessions provided the perspective and inspiration needed to run and grow a fledgling business.
No matter what challenge we faced in the cutthroat world of advertising, Gary had “been there and done it” and he would always help us find a new way of looking at things.
I would recommend Gary’s mentorship and business coaching to anyone who is responsible for running or growing a business.

David Campbell, former creative director, Fnuky

‘Gary was the facilitator for our sales conference earlier this year. The brief was around staff engagement and issues in a challenging environment and I can genuinely say that our expectations were more than exceeded.  The lead up meetings and briefings to the conference, the plan for the day and the execution was exceptional. Gary’s understanding of our business and connection with the team played a major role in the positive results and actions that came out of the day. I would have no hesitation in engaging Gary again at our next sales conference.’

Peter Farago

‘Peter came into our organisation with no preconceptions or predetermined solutions, but instead listened, gathered insight, gained understanding and then delivered real sustainable change within a very diverse and challenging client group.’

Neil Morrison – Group HR Director – Random House (UK)

I worked closely with Peter in 3 particular areas: team building, one-on-one coaching, and key messaging and delivery for presentations.

Peter facilitated a series of workshops for my leadership team within Strategic Planning and Advisory. The objective was to unite a previously disparate leadership team behind a set of agreed business objectives. We broke down some long held positions, reached agreement on high level business objectives, and established the modus-operandi for the team moving forward.

He also provided coaching support at a critical time in my career, providing a mechanism for reflection and to objectively assess my personal drivers, strengths, and weaknesses and to correlate these with the objectives, culture, and behaviours of the organisation. This informed interactions with my team and the broader organisation to best achieve our business objectives.

Peter also provided support in fine-tuning a key note speech I was giving to a leading industry forum, providing a critical sounding board for the key messages and style of the presentation.
