Clients and Testimonials

Muir is incredibly thoughtful and a wonderfully compassionate and effective coach

Executive Coach and Mediator

I have coached individuals in a range of roles under differing degrees of scrutiny. Thinking through how to act and behave on being promoted to senior roles; being put on partner track; dealing with conflict; being challenged publicly about their actions. This is in addition to the many years of coaching, mentoring and staff development in my previous career.

The people I coach consistently rank me very highly on my ability to really listen and make them feel safe and supported whilst also constructively challenging them. They report being able to think through difficult and emotional issues in a calm way, understand their behaviours and choices and then make better decisions.

I began working with Muir when I started in a new, Board-level position and was experiencing imposter syndrome from the scrutiny that this brought. He has helped me greatly in building my confidence. Having first listened to my concerns, he helped structure our conversations so that after every coaching session I left with a clear sense of purpose to take into my work.  Muir has challenged me to understand others’ perspectives too, so that I can reach well-balanced responses when feeling under pressure.

University Director

Muir was an immense help for me during a really challenging period of change in my personal and professional life. Muir helped me navigate a complex transition to a senior role in a unfamiliar industry with a different culture, expectations and norms to the one I had built my career in. Muir adopted a highly personalised approach, building my confidence and resilience over time by encouraging personal reflection, asking the right questions, and challenging me to reflect on what is important to me, making sure I make the right choices for me. What marks Muir out, and makes his approach so transformational, is his willingness to step out the conventions of coaching and, in an empathetic and thoughtful way, bring a new approach informed by his huge experience and knowledge.

Director of Communications

I highly recommend Muir as a coach. He is a kind listener with a sharp ability to rephrase a situation, helping take hindsight and approach it from a new perspective. He genuinely helped me gain confidence in the corporate environment and helped me identify clear options as to how to get to the leadership positions which I am targeting.
