Saved months and years

Over the past 7 years, I've left coaching sessions with Sidney feeling excited about the road ahead as opposed to stymied, and in control as opposed to overwhelmed. He has saved me months and years going in the wrong direction or focussing on the wrong things. How do you put a value to that?

Engendered instant trust

I am lucky enough to have been working with Sid for a number of years. Over that time I have witnessed Sid engage with people and organisations in a manner that has engendered instant trust and resulted in positive upward momentum in terms of relationship building. With ImpactLadder, Sid has refined these techniques into gems that others can comfortably learn and apply to help achieve their own goals.

You're learning from the best

I have had the pleasure of working with Sidney. His warmth and clear business expertise instantly engaged me and during a very short period of time I built a strong respect for his way of working, the insights he shared and his advice. Sidney is a natural leader, he brings people with him. He also has a killer instinct for people and business. And it’s important when working on yourself as a leader that the resources and people you’re gaining knowledge from have these two traits. Sidney has them in bucketloads and I feel privileged to be able to call on him and his advice to guide me through the next stage of my journey. I wouldn’t hesitate recommending ImpactLadder to people who are looking for genuine guidance and support. You’re learning from the best!

Take your professional career to the next level

Sidney is one of those rare people you meet once in a lifetime. It’s been a blessing to have him as my coach. His advice and support on landing my first job in Australia was invaluable. Beyond just a business or career coach, Sidney gets you to think about all aspects of your life. The thing that makes Sidney one of a kind is his strategies and methods are not theoretical but from his experience. In his lessons he shares his scars from his multiple ventures as well has from his personal life journey as an individual, business leader and a family man. His energy, positivity and fun personality make him easy to open up to. I would recommend him if you want to take your professional career to the next level or if you want to dramatically improve your life.

Value to decision making

Sidney's coaching on mindset, skills and habits continues to inspire and add value to my decision making processes. His methods are easy to follow, relevant, clear and concise and brought a significant but positive impact on how I moved forward. At the end of the day, you have to do the work to get the results, but it's important to surround yourself with the right people. I see Sidney as a valuable part of that circle, not just for myself but for anyone on similar journeys regardless of the stage.
