WHERE DO I START ?
Some coaches begin with a client call to get to know each other. We won't!
My coaching is transformational - this means before I agree to take on a client I will provide a full 2 hour deep transformational coaching experience that will allow me to see if you are ready for the investment of commitment, courage, and passion to transform. This will be at my expense and at the end if we both agree we want to continue we will design a bespoke programme. I now only work with 2 clietns at any one time and share all my materials and provide profile assessments and we create whatever we need to make your transition happen swiftly and exponentially.
HOW WILL MY COACHING DO THIS?
Coaching is delivered during regular 1:1 sessions, face to face and/or by webinar/telephone. I work with you on your BIG goal, deep powerful coaching on your agenda - your topic - your goal - and on YOU. I am honest and hold a truth mirror up to you - it may not always feel easy, but you always have my commitment to your success and finding a way to overcome your current assumptions about your current situation and self. I support you to stretch, learn and grow in order to create opportunities, solve the problems and make the most of your strengths. When missing a distinction or principle, I draw one, so you can see a clearer picture. When you are taking on a large goal, coaching helps you to design the project and provide the support and structure needed to make sure it gets done. I will show you how to draw from your deep reservoir of talent. I expect a lot, and we will celebrate your success.

Mathilde Pelly - Director
"I worked with Richard for 12 months coaching me as I moved into an in-house role. I found the sessions to be a great mix of practical discussions focused on the short and long term reflection on personal values and professional goals. Progress was very constructive as well as holding me to account. Richard’s kindness, thoughtful interventions and structured approach has made him a real delight to work with."
Brian Inkster - Inkster Solicitors
"Winning the ‘Solicitor of The Year Award’ is a wonderful reflection of our partnership with Richard. I have moved myself and my firm into a more effective and profitable position. I have achieved goals I set to be completed in five years in just one!"
Venisha Shah - Family Law.
"Richard was like a silent business partner, who was a sounding board but also came up with great ideas for the business. I would highly recommend him."
Archie Millar - Partner
"Richard’s coaching was thought provoking. I would have no hesitation in recommending him. I used his services for my personal training and thereafter to assist in the development of one of my staff members.
I strongly believe that I benefited greatly from the training. I found him and his materials to be well organised and very helpful.
Sarah Weyman - Shanghai, China
"Working with Richard was one of the best investments I've made. The leadership development and coaching programme provided me with the focus I needed to understand what I was looking for in my next challenge. The weekly sessions and Richard's insights were invaluable. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for personal development."
Shainul Kassam - Founder, Fortune Law
“Richard thanks so much - will need all the time management skills you coached me through!”
Susan Whiting - CEO Staffordshire
Building Society
"Richard has an excellent understanding of the dynamics of Boards of companies / governing bodies and of principles of good governance which contributes greatly to the quality of advice he can give to those in business. Since starting my coaching I have achieved much improved client relationships, utilisation of my time, a better knowledge of my own strengths and weaknesses, and strategies for dealing with difficult or confrontational situations."
Darren Martin - Davies Group Ltd
Group Chief Information Officer
"Soon after becoming IT Director, Richard assisted in my transition. He introduced me to methods to review processes and maximise my productivity with minimal effort, helping me focus on running multiple projects as well as management of the wider department. Very practical discussions with light touch theory meant I was quickly able to modify the way I carried out tasks with immediate results. I saw my time with Richard as incredibly beneficial and have since engaged him with my managers."
Sue Billington - BT plc
"I have worked with Richard for several years; having called upon his expertise to support myself and to draw on his skills in support of individuals who have worked on specific projects under my leadership. Richard’s ability to understand complex situations and work collaboratively with individuals to resolve problems to overcome barriers, is well proven. He has without doubt contributed to my personal success "
Sue Knight - International Trainer, Business Consultant, Speaker and Author
"Thank you Richard you have prompted me to say that what we recognise in others is true for us personally and the qualities that you mention for me are most certainly the ones that I see in you.. Integrity - walking the talk, an exemplar of excellence and more - you are fun to be around. I love your commitment to the work that you do and the work ethic that you have which as well as all the visionary skills is a must (some people don't realise that). I felt honoured that you chose to learn with me.. Teachers learn most from their students... thank you."
Mark Simmons - Director at Simmonsigns
"Working with Richard enabled me to focus on removing the barriers to progressing new projects. We developed easy to follow strategies that made "spinning the plates" not only possible, but once progress was made, fun and exciting. Building tools around my own personal drivers, time management challenges and priorities ensured balance was maintained and nothing got left behind.
Richard's approach is robust and challenging, and removes excuses that prevent success."
Alexis Ernst - Director, Pirouette Consulting
"I recently worked with Richard at an IoD Mastermind Session. Richard was very skilled at facilitating the conversation and the asking of coaching questions between the participants in the group. As host/facilitator he knows when to sit back and allow the session to flow and when to intervene to provide a summary and appropriate re- focus when needed. Richard is also an artful coach using incisive questioning to provide a space for the coachee to gain great insight."
Ian Wallace - University of Wolverhampton
Mentoring Programme - Business MSc
"I fully recommend Richard who is a full Professional who has the knack of getting to the point of need early on and helping to see the bigger picture, helping to find solutions to complex situations. I met Richard during my the time I was completing my degree and he became my mentor. I was able to reach goals with a good result, I still keep in touch with Richard and hope to do more work with him in the future."
Dougie Brown - Director
The Alternative Board
"Richard has provided my business with excellent support, as a strategic partner and through the provision of excellent resources. His personal coaching to me has pushed me to expand my own business successfully and his leadership strategy enables me to look forward to the continuation of a successful working relationship in the future. I have no hesitation in recommending Richard Bisiker."
Vanessa Clarke.
"I originally wanted to use coaching to increase my positive impact at work and to develop my own management style. Not only have I gained an insight into how to deal with personalities and my boss(!), but also I’ve also improved my time management skills, and I now feel able to delegate more effectively. I have achieved a clear personal focus."
Jane Hooper - Director and Coach
Step Change Training

Ben Dellicompagni - Managing Director
Francesco Group
“It is most useful to have a second voice, a completely neutral voice that is not judging but rather exploring different approaches with me so as to help arrive at balanced thought through decisions.”
Angela Jain
"With Richard I successfully achieved a major career move. Coaching has helped me to gain self-esteem, self-confidence and self-reliance. I am doing more things independently thus ensuring that I make my own decisions. My confidence is being gained through living with my own choices."
Dr. John Phillips MBE
Hon F IoD, Past Regional Director.

He also has a compelling sense of humour which enables him to deliver profound interventions with a lightness of touch."

His subject knowledge is extensive and uses his vast experience to not only guide the Group but also on a 1-2-1 basis covering subjects including, • Business strategy • Complex problem resolution • Helping with developing and understanding learning and leadership styles at all levels. He is a great guy to be around whose glass is more than half full!"
Sujata Gurung - Save the Children Int'l
Change & Interventions Manager
"Every week going through the programme again, it kind of engraved it a little bit in my brain. When people had questions, Richard was very supportive and went into it in detail rather than just leaving it and giving a very generic or surface level answer, which I really liked.
It's not just go out there and find something. It's like, here are the tools, take it, use it and adapt it. And I really like that because it's practical and it helps you actually take action rather than just saying that you need to take action."
Marcela Kaca Cermakova
APM Accredited Project Manager
We met at The Institute of Directors, my challenge when I joined was mainly around being overwhelmed, not having clarity, doing too much and with little results... you suggested your peak performance course, and I don't regret at all. I have better clarity in my mind. I started to develop new habits. My motto now is not that I can't do it, but how can I do it with excellence? What I really like about this was the small group so it felt more intimate, more like you're making friendships versus where there's 5000 people... this definitely stood out for me”
