HOW I WORK
Here's a bit more about how I work and what coaching is.
“I always give Robbie credit when people ask about how I started! Get a coach! There's no way I would have started without working with him. He had such belief in me (more than I did)!”
“It has been such a valuable exercise working with Robbie and I am extremely grateful for the help which he provided me in our time together. His expertise and skill as a coach has navigated with me whilst still bringing me back to practical tasks and progression at every stage. Robbie has an amazing ear for picking through information and distilling down to the root of an issue and challenging the thought process in an intuitive and measured way.”
“I knew Robbie from a previous short-term engagement and, in 2018, after an intake conversation, we opted for a year-long coaching engagement; it was one of the best choices I have made in recent years.
I am writing this several months after our work finished, and I still feel the results of it every day. Whilst my workload is exactly the same, if not increased, I feel more in control of my time, my diary, my work, my life. Hardly a day goes by without me thinking of something that Robbie and I discussed.”
Leonie Taams, Head of School of Immunology & Microbial Sciences, King's College London
"Robbie is an exceptional coach. He will push you as far as you are willing to go and encourage you into places you didn't know existed - go with it, you can only end up somewhere more truthful than before!"
“Robbie helped me to find the blockers in my mind and get ready to change. I'd highly recommend Robbie as a coach - he's kind, challenging and has a huge array of skills to help get un-stuck.”
"In the four months we have worked together Robbie Swale has had an amazing impact on my business and life. We have won more business from more clients as a direct result of his coaching. More than that, we express a new level of confidence and assurance that has made a tangible, remarked-upon difference to our existing relationships."
“Working with Robbie over the last three months has had a transformational impact on my career direction and ambition. I was starting to feel deflated by the pressure of running a company on my own and the coaching allowed me to reconnect with why I do it and to get excited about its potential again.”
“I will look back on this coaching as a pivotal moment in my career. Robbie is a true professional and a master of his craft, I feel very fortunate to have found him.”
"Over our six months working together, I feel like I made good progress with Robbie's support and for anyone who is looking for a coach, give Robbie a call!"
“It’s so important to be able to have those stretching conversations with someone who isn’t aligned to an employer or your own specific profession, so that you can be completely honest, consider yourself as a whole human, and dream, plan and execute the biggest that you can. After our sessions I would literally bounce down the Southbank thinking that I could do anything! Robbie is also incredibly intelligent, perceptive and honest - balancing enough kindness and tough love to get you to get s*** done.”

I believe the craft of coaching has an important role to play in helping humanity deal with the challenges it faces and step into its potential. And yet far too many coaches give up because the business of coaching is too hard. That’s why I created The Coach’s Journey. It includes many resources for coaches, from The Coach’s Journey Podcast, regularly listed as one of the top podcasts for coaches, to videos, articles and The Coach’s Journey Community, a flexible group coaching programme.

“If I had an intuition of how helpful coaching would be, I would have done it when I was 21. It has been tremendously helpful in accelerating my learning in ways I didn't anticipate. Such is the confidence I had in Robbie, I just went in: I didn't hold back.”
Victor Rivera, CEO, Agenda
