Client Testimonials

I have worked with Ted for over five years throughout my executive career across two private equity-backed businesses. During that time, he has been a trusted adviser through some of my most pivotal leadership challenges and career decisions.

Ted has an exceptional ability to cut through complexity, identify the underlying drivers of challenges within businesses and leadership teams, and bring a level of clarity and perspective that can fundamentally change how you approach a situation.

​

What sets Ted apart is the breadth and depth of his experience. Having worked across global multinationals and high-growth PE- and VC-backed businesses, he has seen first-hand what makes organisations and their leaders succeed — and, equally importantly, what causes them to fail. He brings that experience to bear with remarkable insight, commercial understanding and an ability to challenge conventional thinking.

​

His impact has been particularly significant in helping me navigate senior leadership challenges, unlocking the potential of executives who have reached a ceiling, shaping organisational culture, and managing the often-complex dynamics between investors and management teams.

​

Ted is far more than a sounding board. He is someone who challenges your thinking, helps you see what others may miss, and ultimately makes you a more effective leader.

I had the pleasure of working with Ted during a significant transition in my career. After spending over 15yrs working in Asia, I was presented with the opportunity to take on a leadership role in Canada. The adjustment to a new cultural and professional environment was challenging, and that’s where Ted proved to be invaluable.

Ted brought a wealth of knowledge and expertise in recognizing the nuanced differences between Asian and Canadian business cultures. Also, one of the aspects I most appreciated about working with Ted was his ability to create a safe space for discussion. He encouraged open dialogue, allowing me to express my concerns and explore various strategies without judgment. This approach was instrumental in adapting my leadership style to better align with Canadian culture.

Ted is not just an expert in executive coaching, but also a genuinely caring and insightful individual who understands the complexities of cross-cultural transitions. I highly recommend Ted to any executive looking to navigate cultural changes or seeking to enhance their leadership skills.

I've had the good fortune to work with Ted over the last three years. Ted brings great depth of experience to his role having worked with everything from rapidly growing startups to public companies, and everything in-between, but his most valuable asset is his ability to connect with people. Our team has loved having his leadership, his strategic people chops, and his friendship.

Ted is someone we trust, we know will have sound advice and counsel, and that is always looking out for your best interest

I had the pleasure to have Ted as a coach to help me develop my career goals and also key priorities moving forward. Ted has a very easy and welcoming approach to making you think about what is important to you as you move throughout your career as well as what type of leader you are and want to become! At the end of our sessions I always felt like I had made progress towards our original mission together. Ted has helped me navigate challenging topics and conversations and provided many insights and learning along the way. I would highly recommend Ted to anyone looking to expand their horizons and help map out a direction for their career. I will for sure use him again in the future for myself and working with other teams!

I am so fortunate to have worked with Ted, he is an incredible coach who has a unique talent of quickly distilling complex issues to their essence and then identifying the weak spots to target in order to get sustainable results. I liken Ted to an experienced physical therapist but for leadership skills , crossed with wise coach and advisor. After working with Ted, I am a better leader, coach and business executive; I have experienced tremendous growth and results through his coaching that has been noticed by my team and peers. Most importantly, Ted is an extremely authentic person who genuinely cares.

Ted has been working with me as a coach and mentor for many years. He is exceptional in asking the right questions and by doing so, lifting the performance of individuals and teams to the next level. With this experience in mind, I asked Ted to work on our integration and transformation activities into the Michelin group.
 

Ted’s ability to connect to people of different cultures and with different backgrounds easily has made him a valuable and value creating partner in our journey over the last 2 years.
 

With his guidance and coaching we have been able to design and execute a full integration and transformation of our international team and organization during a challenging time of a pandemic with not being able to meet in person.

I really would like to stress this point as this ability to even make people and organizations evolving and growing in a virtual environment is a great asset and capability of Ted that you should know about.
 

I’m personally looking forward to having Ted working with me on the next challenge to come!
And as all of us know – it will!
