Marc Gaudart

‘Marc was my coach for about a year, at a time of transition and uncertainty in my career. He helped me articulate thoughts and feelings that were particularly muddled at the time, be honest about my situation, and start taking action. At the end of our coaching, I had greater clarity, alignment and a renewed energy I had not felt for a long time. Marc’s help was invaluable during this challenging period and I whole-heartedly recommend him as a coach.'
