“…You led us to think for ourselves. We now have a much clearer idea of not only how we can serve our existing congregation, but also how to reach out….

“Thank you for bringing us such an inspirational and absorbing day. It was invaluable. I personally enjoyed the way the day was constructed, inviting each individual to be fully engaged from the outset.  Our Council responded extremely positively and they opened up with ideas and thoughts not previously expressed. You led us to think for ourselves. We now have a much clearer idea of not only how we can serve our existing congregation, but also how to reach out and inspire interest in the Anglican Church on the island of Mallorca and give present and future worshipers a true spiritual home. 

We will soon have a meeting so we can quickly put in to place things we can action immediately and to discuss an agenda to incorporate the longer term projects.

Thank you again. Warmest Regards.”

Our future, as a cohesive group is in God’s hands. I can see a glimmer of hope now and that is a miracle.

“When I first began working with Paul many things I was committed to doing felt heavy and overwhelming. A few months later I find myself with new responsibilities, but no longer feeling overwhelmed. The gap between reactive and proactive work is decreasing and I’m slowly learning how to bring fresh clarity to my work and find it more of a gift and less of a burden. The monthly session spent working together has a much bigger impact on the rest of the month. I’m learning new skills and a different mindset which is enabling me to practice my ministry from a place of rest.”

“…..Paul listens with openness and responds with loving honesty. Paul challenged me to identify the resources that I already have to meet the task at hand…

“At a certain point, I realised that my ministry was undergoing a transition. I knew I needed new skills and to re-visit some old skills that hadn't been used in a while. The  conversations with Paul have been key to this learning. Paul listens with openness and responds with loving honesty. Paul challenged me to identify the resources that I already have to meet the task at hand, and generously offered stories from his own experience in ministry. Paul's coaching is not a set of instructions telling me what to do. The conversations simply help to frame the issues and create a plan for the next steps. At the end of each conversation I feel better equipped for my ministry with energy and passion.”

— Canon Stephen Murray, Chaplain Ghent, Area Dean

“Paul is a great listener and has been a source of wisdom and constructive guidance for me based on his rich experience of parish life…

“It has been great to work with Paul as coach and consultant from the early days of starting in a new chaplaincy. I have really valued the opportunity to discuss and work through with him a range of matters including strategic planning, building up a leadership team and change management including the transition from lockdown to full participation in church again in the aftermath of Covid19. This has significantly helped me to settle in and develop my role as Chaplain. 

Paul is a great listener and has been a source of wisdom and constructive guidance for me based on his rich experience of parish life. I have found it extremely helpful to be able to discuss with him many of the different issues which arise in chaplaincy life. He has enabled me to think through these clearly and to work out practical ways of addressing them, often providing me with examples and templates of relevant materials.”
