It is difficult to coach someone who doesn’t want to change - Many people want to change but actually what they want is a quick fix without putting in the effort - I look at what people do and not what they say - For change to happen your thoughts, feelings and behaviour need to be aligned - It’s about agreeing a game plan that you can win - I’ll help you to be yourself and play your own game that delivers that winning performance -

We had been working hard for a long time and had lost the ability to see things clearly in terms of where the business and ourselves were going. Through regular discussions with Rod, he gave us the time to think, reflect and become more in control of where we were heading. The business now has more direction and clarity, which is a nice place to get to. Jonathan Ellery Founder - Browns The Board set Rod the task of getting us focused on where we wanted to take the company and helped us in the process. After some initial conversations and a one day workshop we are now moving again with much more clarity and real urgency. Rod has a helpful and straightforward style and was useful immediately understanding the issues faced. DAVID CHAPPLE Chief Executive – Bostock and Pollitt Yes, he’s Mr Optimism. When Rod worked with us as a team we discovered, hidden team attitudes that succeeded in binding us together and celebrating what we had and what made us different from others in the game. His work crystallised these and made them apparent, leading to a can-do attitude and approach. CHRIS DOWLEN Reader in Educational Development - London South Bank University Working with Rod has helped me find that direction I was looking for in my business life. If you want to be successful in life and feel that something is missing then I would recommend you spend some time with Rod Petrie. STEPHEN DUNDAS National Coach - Russian Golf Team Rod’s involvement and guidance in helping both me personally and the club to set some realistic personal and business goals has put us on a totally different level in going forward into the future. Richard Tims Chairman - World’s first football club - Sheffield FC Rod Petrie is one of the most inspirational people I have ever met. He motivates, encourages and inspires people and companies to achieve and excel. I would personally recommend Rod to any individual or organization that would like to achieve their goals – no matter how high. NEERAJ NAYER Awards President - FAB Awards Rod really helped us examine our own personal goals as the driver for not only the future success of the business but as business owners. He reinforced the need for us to be responsible and accountable for developing good habits and behaviours which will spread through the company. RUPERT PRATT Managing Partner - Generate The thing that makes Rod’s process so effective is that it reveals the golden value in setting realistic goals and achieving them on solid lasting foundations. I can measure Rod’s contribution in financial terms - our fee income grew significantly during the period we worked together but more importantly I can also measure the process holistically. Rod gave me something much more valuable than fee income, he gave me the confidence to, play my own game and walk my own path. CHRIS HARRISON Creative Director – Harrison & co Rod has the ability to tease the real issues out of you. Several times I have begun a session thinking I am going to discuss one thing only to find Rod digging a little deeper. His unique ability is to lead you on a Socratic journey looking at solving the immediate challenges whilst keeping you focussed on the long goals. MATT BRIGGS Managing Director – Shining Wit Just when you think you can’t learn anything new about yourself… along comes Rod. Establishing what makes people tick is what Rod does. Recognising how people can benefit from this is what Rod Petrie does best. Simon Smith Design Director - Ramboll Running a business can be a stressful experience and sometimes you can’t see the wood for the trees. Rod has brought clarity to the way I do things and how I approach business. His insight has also helped me take my business to the next level. Every business should have a Rod.
