HR development consultant
All I've learned from Rob Nathan has been invaluable. I have applied the training so I am more useful to clients, and his insights have enabled me to make significant progress in my own career. He has helped me decide to study for an MA in coaching and to pursue this work further.
TV Producer/Coach
I was lucky enough to attend the Career Counselling Skills course run by Gilly with Rob Nathan and Eric Decker and it was a turning point in my career. Gilly is an extremely talented and skilled career counsellor and coach. Above all the thing that has always impressed me about Gilly is how great a listener she is. She always seems genuinely fascinated by people and has some amazing insights that allow her to make great, intelligent observations and ask some very powerful questions

The course was well structured and managed. It's excellent to be trained by very, very experienced career counselors who know their stuff.
