Client Testimonials
“Michael’s coaching benefits wonderfully from his own many years' experience as a successful and strategic executive. Michael was able to quickly comprehend the intricacies of our software start-up within the labyrinthine energy sector, and understand my unique challenges, goals and career context. He gave tailored, actionable advice with wisdom and authenticity. His communication is clear and on-point, and given my technical background, I was never confused or condescended by business-speak. The value and content Michael packed into every session was formidable and yet I always left feeling hugely encouraged and enabled. Michael sought out my preferred balance between structure and flexibility: he guided me through a journey of self-knowledge underpinned by proven development tools, but was always willing at any point to suspend this programme and simply listen and respond effectively. Being a busy Technical Director / CEO and Start up founder, I found my "homework" achievable - even a welcome break - from the code and diagrams. Michael helped our organisation succeed by helping me succeed and I'm sure can do the same for you. " Simon - Founder / Technical Director / CEO - Energy and sustainability start up business
“I have had the great pleasure of working with Mike over the last decade, providing constructive challenge to him & acting as his sounding board.
Mike is one of a kind, an award-winning inspirational leader who motivates his team to high levels of performance whilst also focussing on the needs of the individual.
His transition into senior level coaching & key note speaking is a natural application of his years of experience always delivered with a first-class analytical approach, total dedication & integrity. He combines this with a real insight into human interactions & what it takes to drive a truly customer focussed organisation.”
David – NED, Investor, Chairman and Executive Coach
“I am pleased to recommend Mike Glanville as an executive coach. I’ve worked with Mike as my coach for the last 6 months, after knowing Mike professionally and personally for over 10 years.
Working with Mike has helped me gain a greater appreciation of my skillsets and how to use these to their best effect. Mike has been great in helping me to better understand my motivations and passions and how this can shape how I work and the direction of my future career.
The process that you follow is very detailed and the insight Mike brings from his professional career adds significant value.

Looking at your business in 360
A business 360 is an incredibly powerful tool to help you plan your future strategy, understand and leverage your market position and develop your team and Board. 360s are a way to get the raw truth about who you are, what you do and how you do it. They can help you to identify new markets, growth opportunities and where and how to develop your people to drive performance and culture.
Experienced in running internal and external 360s across large and small businesses, we work with you to understand your brief, aims and objectives. We believe that interviews should always be done face to face, drawing critical and detailed information for analysis and feedback to you.
Every business can benefit from a 360 and we can help you identify which type is right for where your business is today. If you would like to discuss your 360 needs and ideas then please email us by clicking the link below.
