“If anyone is going through an emotional time as a leader or questioning how good they are as a leader, there’s a guy called Chris Randall… he definitely changed my life; because he gave me a lot of personal responsibility, which I wanted at the time, I was searching for that and if anybody is struggling… I can’t recommend him enough… “

Sophia Hilton on ‘How to Cut It’ podcast 13/3/23 (from 48m20s to 49m40s)

Being on this journey with Chris has been quite an experience. Being a business owner I had never done any leadership work before. After going through some turmoil at work, I wanted to see what I could do better and different. I was aware of my role in what happened and I didn’t want to make the same mistakes again.

Chris enables you to delve deep into who you are. He makes you look inwards on who you are, what your trigger points are and what your strengths are. This only works if you are prepared to put the effort in and be honest with yourself, but the rewards are huge. Chris gives you the confidence to know you’re doing good things. That you are constantly learning and improving your leadership techniques. He allows you time to unpack situations with the one to one calls, go over things, understand how certain outcomes happened based on what went on. He gives you those tools, to unpack it yourself. I found this course, inspiring, emotional, fun and rewarding. After each session I was ready to take what I’d learnt into the work environment.

I’ve come away from this course feeling a much better person, not just with work, but home life too. My confidence in how to lead and manage my team is so much better because I’m confident in myself. In those times when I’m not so sure, I sit there and ask myself one simple question… “WWCD (what would Chris do)?” I continue to work with Chris now, our relationship with him as my leadership coach and mentor continues to grow. My grasp on leading different personalities is getting better by the day. Sure I make mistakes, but Chris teaches you to be ok with that, how to grow from it.

I’m a better, stronger version of me, and its because of the work I’ve done with Chris and I will always be grateful for that. As a result of this my business is stronger, my relationships with my work colleagues is stronger too. They get me, I get them (mostly). The working environment is happier and more transparent because of the way I now lead that team.

Thanks Chris, you’re amazing at what you do!

“I'm putting our work to powerful use and from this experience, a deeper understanding of just how impactful the work we did together is.

It is especially in times of intensity that the benefits of the work can be really felt; I feel more than okay, I feel completely protected, supported and confident.

Possibly the best gift I have given myself. I have passed your name on to more people. Hope you are flying!!”

The Curl Artist

“I thoroughly enjoyed my interactions with Chris and the defined process we went through. Chris encouraged and challenged me to channel my thinking in a positive and structured way which ensured that each session and the entire process was productive and efficient.

Through a thorough analysis of who I am, what my strengths & skills are and what I want out of life, I am now much better equipped to seek out the business opportunities that are right for me and proactively design the life I want to live. It has been an extremely valuable process and given me the confidence to take control and really go after the life that's right for me.”

“I would 100% recommend Flowcoacher, I always ended the session feeling great about myself! Within the first hour I felt like Chris knew me more than I knew myself; on reflection this shows just how lost I was. His careful and sensitive listening skills and subtle observations made me look at things in a different way.

He helped me understand myself by going on a journey of discovery, which has made me proud of who I am instead of being apologetic or excusing the way I am. I now understand the way I feel and why. I get who I am and why I am doing what I am doing which makes me feel empowered.

I always looked forward to the sessions with Chris and although this sounds clichéd, he really was a light in my life at my darkest moments. He was a very sensitive, inspirational and non-judgemental outside professional force who helped me enormously and moved me on much further in an hour and a half than I had come all week/month.”

“Working with Chris was a real eye-opener. He helped bring to light new strengths that I didn't really know about and see how I could utilise them to improve my work and career. Lots of his suggestions have been implemented - it's really improved my workflow and reduced my stress! I'm no longer rushing to try and do everything, which means I can work more effectively and to a higher standard than before. He's professional, easy to work with and the improvements speak for themselves. Highly recommended!”

“I really enjoyed working with Chris. His approach was very clear and set out in front of my own eyes the very things I needed to see in black and white. The things that were truly important to me without the ‘noise’ of everything else getting in the way. From there Chris helped me to believe in myself - to bring about a coherent approach to my career focussing on the things that really matter to me.

I guess most of it was already inside of me, but without Chris’s coaching it would have remained lost in a tangled mess inside my head, which was only leading to inaction and dissatisfaction. At the end of the process I had a clear vision of where to take my future career and how to begin building my own enterprises to support that. I not only had gained a plan, but had gained the belief and the confidence that this was the correct path for me and that I held the key to making it come to life.

If you’re looking to find your true path in life, definitely speak to Chris. He has a very gentle and clear way of helping you even when you might think all is lost.”

“I took part in Chris's 7 session leadership program through my place of work and I can’t thank Chris enough for everything we covered. It’s been truly life changing for the better and there's no looking back from here.

Chris regularly checked in with us, so we were comfortable to take part thoroughly and I personally felt completely understood and listened to in every session. I found some of the work challenging but it’s been 1000% worth it for the long-term development.

The work we covered has enabled me to understand my own thought processes, patterns of behaviour and beliefs about myself that both hold me back and keep me safe. I know myself so much better now and have begun performing more effectively in every relationship - work and personal.”

“Since starting my consultancy a couple of years ago I have really struggled to nail the ‘why’ at the heart of my business. By focusing on my needs first, and then building on my personal journey to articulate what I want my business to do, my purpose and offer have become much clearer. This process has been hugely valuable, and I feel much more confident about how I help my clients, and am bursting with creative ideas for new services and ways to get my message across better.

I found Chris very easy to talk openly to - our sessions felt very ‘safe’, and as such our communication was at a very authentic level. Without doubt this contributed hugely to the value I got from our work together. Chris’s coaching has had a huge impact on me, and I would recommend anyone to seek him out!”

“I started feeling that my work was not satisfying a deeper need in me and I decided that I could make changes in my life, particularly my career, that could bring me greater satisfaction. Except I didn’t have a structure of how to bring this about. A chance conversation with Chris presented the opportunity to work with him; I really enjoyed the collaborative, explorative approach (without pre-empting an outcome) and found Chris’s insights and structured approach supportive, eventful and productive.

I’m really glad I did this and would recommend it to anyone looking for changes in themselves and their future.”

“I reached out to Chris when I was going through a bit of a career cross-road and a reflective stage in my professional career… Chris was able to really help me to look at things from different angles so that I was equipped with the knowledge to make the right decisions for me, he quickly understood the dynamics in my organisation (a large international organisation) so I really felt he understood where I was coming from. Like many people I tended to focus on my negative skills… wishing I was “more this and or more that” … Chris on the other hand helped me to recognise my strengths and encouraged me to explore how to better use these.

With the skills, confidence and tools I have gained from working with Chris I was able to get my career back on track… It took a while but whilst things were not ideal, Chris helped me to come to terms with the situation and to find coping mechanisms to move forward in a constructive way. My sessions with Chris were online (as we were not on the same continent!) and they were a real pleasure thanks to his empathy and sense of humour.”

“Wow! What an extraordinary and expansive few days! Connecting with what you really want has always been an intention for me both professionally and personally. Chris’s open and naturally supporting character encouraged me and gave me space to explore all ideas and possibilities. This was liberating and empowering.

Chris is the proof in the so called pudding; he is doing and wearing his passion. His approach was very intuitive and informal, which worked ideally for me. You are invited to focus on what you want, what is holding you back, and what it takes for you to break through any barriers. Now take all that and go challenge yourself, learning and enjoying from all that comes with it. I have come away from these few days with fresh insight and a determination to just do what it is I love to do. I want to start my own business and have fun doing it.”

“Working with Chris has been an integral and fundamental element of both my career and my personal growth. I am extremely grateful for his energy and very honoured to be one of his clients. Chris's approach is holistic, empathic and empowering. You are the master, and your steer your own ship, but Chris helps you to see your direction, and helps keep you en route and steady through inevitable storms of the journey. Without doubt, I have gained confidence in the time we have worked together.

Chris is on a mission to improve people's lives by helping them to achieve greatness by being in their element. Add to this quest a background in headhunting and a legal savvy, and you have a very unique and wise professional. Chris has really been a life coach to me and I wholeheartedly recommend his work on so many levels. Having gone through enormous personal and professional transition, I’m now facing a very exciting future in front of me.”

“I can take many things away from my experience with Flowcoacher, the main one and most important being taking action to seize opportunities. Working with Chris has changed the way I think as a business leader and has enabled me to communicate with my colleagues, my clients and even my friends and family in a way I never thought possible.

Chris is truly inspirational and I am always impressed by not only his business savvy, but his ability to help cultivate and implement ideas and solutions. I recommend Chris to any serious business owner who wants hard hitting business coaching with results, a real pleasure to work with.”

“Working with Chris has been a great way for me to really indentify what my next step is at this difficult stage in my life. Through well structured and supportive sessions I have gained confidence and clarity to move forward in a new career path.”

“After working with Chris things shifted and moved for me in a much more natural way. As I saw the importance and need for taking responsibility and realising my own worth, I found it much more comfortable to begin to manifest my goals and needs. I saw the work situation I was in was not flowing as I wanted and where my boundaries needed tweaking. After making space to take the steps I needed to be in flow, I now feel empowered to grow at work and have my needs met. I now work in an environment that reflects me as a person and my values and I contribute to others in a purposeful and more honest way.

I am so very grateful to Chris for guiding and encouraging my stepping up and for helping me not to settle for anything less than what I really want at work and in my life. I'd recommend to anyone wanting to do similar, to work with him.”

“Chris takes complex business issues and makes them easy to resolve using great strategies. Chris is great to work with and I look forward to working with him over the foreseeable future. I highly recommend him to any small or medium size business owner.”

“I really enjoyed working with Chris and looked forward to our sessions. Carving out time for myself to do this process and what has continued from it has been so valuable to my self-esteem and selfcare. Chris was generous with his time and recognised the value of completing a process, especially if it was one involving my tears. Chris is open and honest; he created a safe space which was supportive and encouraging so that my learning evolved. Chris shared examples when needed of his own experiences which really helped me to know he understood. We also had a lot of fun and laughter!

So far, I have understood more about why I have done previous roles and what I need to have in place to work to my strengths. Old beliefs that have felt shameful, now have a place in my heart where they can be nurtured to support my growth. We identified the role I could create which would suit my strengths, skills, values and allow me to shine.”

“Chris has an effortless ability to create and deliver a unique style of coaching. Very quickly I gained clarity and direction, inspiration and confidence, and an action plan modelled within a framework tailored to achieve immediate results. 

It was a joy to work with Chris and I highly recommend his service.”

“I found working with Chris really valuable. Through moving through the flow process, I was able to identify strengths I had often thought were actually weaknesses and felt empowered to embrace a new path. Chris creates a warm and creative environment and is excellent at guiding you through your journey. I am excited to see what the future brings as a result of this experience.”

“Chris helps you to see the light that’s already within oneself but has become hidden, damaged, neglected or not even realised. Initially I was rather sceptical when he got me writing down all sorts of weird and on the face of it unconnected stuff. But by the end of our sessions it all began to make sense and the shadows in my work life began to lift. Possibilities that I hadn’t dreamt of suddenly became realistic as my self- belief improved. 
You have to be completely honest and frank with yourself though, get all the dark corners out on the table. In that respect Chris’ manner and approach was encouragingly trustworthy. No judgment just friendly, intelligent, sincere, honest, thoughtful questioning, advice and opinion that ultimately leads you to your own revelations.

Dwight D. Eisenhower said that, “Leadership is the art of getting someone else to do something you want done because he wants to do it”. Chris is that leader and inspirer who’s mission in life is to help others help themselves.”

“I really enjoyed my coaching sessions with Chris. He proved very easy to work with and brought clarity of thought to all important aspects of running a successful small business like ours. After completing the ‘Flowcoaching’ course, I now have an actionable blueprint to work from. Chris’s experience with people has given me valuable insights and tools to help me manage the most important component of our agency - our staff.”
