"Parallax's Discovery Day was certainly that for me - if not a day of blinding revelation - really powerful and inspiring. I had the opportunity to enact real and very relevant issues that were holding me back. The actors, who work alongside you during the day and assist in simulating real- life scenarios, made the whole experience very real and truly enlightening. Not only could I safely experience, new and alternative ways of operating, I was actually able to see, first hand, how limiting my old behaviours were - and then have the opportunity to create much more effective alternative ways to respond. I saw myself in front of my own eyes! It really felt like I was back in the meeting where I had first experienced the blocks - brilliant! Not only that , but I was able to explore some of my hidden demons and turn negative, limiting thoughts and feelings into positive, supportive ones, By the end, I noticed a feeling of increased confidence, steely determination and real alignment between my values, beliefs and actions This was empowering and will stay with me as I go forward from here. Great fun and I can see the results in my actions weeks after the event - which is completely fabulous! I have even surprised myself on a number of occasions. Without hesitation I would recommend this for anyone who wants seriously to improve their personal performance - don't hesitate, do it!"
Peter Ballard, Managing Director, Genus Pharmaceuticals.
"I have been using Parallax for my executive coaching over the past year. The thought-provoking challenges and careful questions have made me look closely at my usual ways of doing things, I have been inspired to clearer, more incisive decision-making and have realised things about myself which have been, frankly, quite uncomfortable on occasion, but invariably useful. I have recently faced some major career and personal choices, and my Parallax Coach has helped me to a point where I have been seriously considered for more senior roles within the Bank for which I would never have contemplated applying a year ago. I now have a much sharper idea of where I want to take my career and develop myself personally. I would commend The Parallax Partnership to anyone contemplating or undergoing change in their executive lives."

"Very often when dealing with senior appointments or performance issues it is extremely advantageous to have the facility to introduce an independent third party into the proceedings to take a truly objective look at an individual's personal, business related and overall lifestyle and behavioural issues. This is best supported by a 360° feedback using an individual's peer group, family and friends and managers. This holistic approach has been very valuable as a tool used by ACCO Brands Europe and resulted in significant behavioural and personal lifestyle transformations and also shows the commitment the Company places on coaching, mentoring and personal development. I would highly recommend the services of Parallax to organisations and individuals who wish to take advantage of this professional and confidential set of programmes."
Simon Wells, Vice President Human Resources ACCO Brands Europe
"Although I attended the Parallax coaching sessions for predominantly work related coaching, the sessions that I have been involved in to date have had a profound knock on effect to all areas of my life.
I have had sessions where my whole value base has been called into question and in truth my feelings and thoughts have been exposed, dissected and put back together again in such a way that I have been able to move forward with a personal confidence that was in the past sadly lacking even though I was proficient at convincing everyone that I was confident. I have tried to embrace every session with honesty and a willingness to learn more about myself to understand why I do what I do and how I can use this knowledge to change the things I want to change; importantly different from what I thought at the start of my sessions.
Horse Whispering to me was one of the most profound things I have ever experienced, from the first questions I was asked to think about i.e. how do I react when I don't get what I want, to the effect of being asked these again in a ring with a horse that I am trying to get to move. The whole journey for me has been remarkable.
On reflection timing is everything and the timing of the coaching sessions, and my Parallax Coach choosing when horse whispering would be right for me, made all the difference."
Michele Morris, Deputy Chief Nurse (NHS Trust)
"I have never experienced coaching before and found the relaxed approach of my Parallax Coach helped me to uncover some limiting beliefs about my ability to sell products through my new company, My Parallax Coach's techniques have helped me to find inner confidence and conviction to take new steps and launch a new career. Many thanks."
