James O'Halloran, Business Coach, Entrepreneur Coaching, Bristol - Bristol

Bryan Walsh

Before working with James I never really knew what made me tick from a work perspective. I kept going through a cycle of working hard, succeeding, burning out and becoming unhappy. James helped me navigate through and break this cycle during our sessions together, really getting into details on what work means to me, how I approach work and what needed to change to break that cycle. I now find myself in a role far more suited to these core values, which has had a really positive effect on my mental health and overall well-being.

There are no silver bullets, and this is ongoing work, but James has given me the tools to navigate through what was previously holding me back. If any of this resonates with you reach out to James - you won't regret it.

James’s coaching sessions have given me the space to be fully honest with myself, allowing me to open the door to understanding more about myself and what I want in life and my career. James’s approach is personal, well-researched, and tailored to my individual needs. His insights and guidance have been instrumental in helping me gain clarity and confidence, making meaningful progress towards my goals. I highly recommend James to anyone seeking personal or professional growth.

James created a clear thought space that was outside of work, and outside of the limitations I had inadvertently placed on myself. Working with James helped me to break through and pay attention to my authentic values, see strengths where I hadn't seen them before, and showed me ways of thinking and operating that took me from an anxiously propelled mindset to one that helped me create opportunity and trust in my own ways of working.

James helped me to articulate perspectives I hadn't given enough time to shape properly before our sessions. Over time, I came away clearer, more composed, able to cope better under pressure, and to make decisions in a better informed way. It stopped me thinking of myself so much as fulfilling a role, and more about what I wanted to bring to the world, to a workplace, and to those I work with.

James had me visualise where I wanted to be in the next three years. Living outside the city, with animals, with a kitchen table covered in books (I didn't have a kitchen table at the time) because I was studying, something new and something that I could use to help people. Three years or so later, I've moved to the country with my fiance, we have two cats (still holding out for the goats) and I'm studying again. Every surface in the house is always covered with books.

James helped me find vision and purpose when I couldn't see the wood for the trees, and at that time in my life made me a more functional and efficient thinker. Years later, the outcome I was intent on has come to pass- in some ways through luck, some through focus. Highly recommend James, I'm very thankful for the time we had which has continued to have a positive ripple effect years after those sessions.

Running my own business comes with a lot of heavy decision making and often feel overloaded with plans, ideas, cashflows, etc. Having someone like James is really helping me to get clarity and focus in the important things that my business needs and to choose the right path for it. It is also helping me hugely to feel more calm about taking decisions. Thus far it has been an investment totally worth it.

Caroline Thake

James's coaching gave me a supportive space to share my dreams, goals and challenges and the space and encouragement to talk them through. James suggested simple, manageable daily practices to begin making my goals and dreams a part of my every day reality. I am really grateful for the support provided and feel empowered and hopeful moving into the new year.

Cecilia Agostini

I was stuck in a rut when I contacted James. I had bought into the idea that an entrepreneur succeeds alone, and opening up and asking for help were big steps for me. I could tell immediately that James was genuinely interested in helping me, and I was impressed by how quickly he picked up on my needs, requirements, and negative patterns. I was frustrated because I wasn't reaching the goals I had set for myself, but James reminded me that where I am is okay and that I should not disregard the results I have achieved so far. By asking the right questions, he helped me get a more empowered perspective on my situation. James is very competent and professional, but the kindness and the human touch that he displays in his sessions made me feel comfortable and safe sharing my concerns. I am already looking forward to our next session, and I can't wait to see where this new journey will take me!

Martin Rolph

I had a series of coaching sessions with James at a time when I was feeling very stuck in my career and was unsure how to move forwards. His expertise doesn't come cheap which did give me pause at first but I'm glad I looked past that as I found our sessions invaluable. He helped me understand my strengths, gain clarity about what exactly I wanted from my career and move forward with confidence. Highly recommended.

James listens and then feeds back in a succinct and helpful way but more than this he asks the questions with real care and at the right time that move me forwards. And the best part is that he gives me space to really think about it. The lights came on during our session!
