I have had the pleasure of working with Georgios for over four years. He is a warm, generous, enthusiastic, approachable and friendly person and has an amazing wealth of Coaching based knowledge.
Georgios has worked with NHS Slam at many events and supports us with regular training sessions. He has great empathy for those who are lacking in confidence and self esteem; he can identify an individual’s strengths and weaknesses and offer the specific coaching based support and encouragement needed. Georgios is an asset to any individual or organisation he works with, in that he offers useful advice and has excellent communication skills.
