Working with Richard has been a truly transformative experience. For me, what sets him apart is his particularly personable and credible approach which quickly builds rapport and trust. This environment meant that I felt safe and supported, able to fully explore my values and rediscover who I really am beneath the ‘noise’ of daily life expectations. His guidance was never prescriptive or fixed like a generic self-help book; instead, he would listen intently and then ask a poignant question. This would often enable me to unlock insights I didn’t know I had – I found this to be so powerful. Despite the deep and sometimes challenging nature of the work, Richard ensured that every session was filled with the right number of lighter moments too. The exercises were all fun and engaging.
As the weekly sessions progressed and I better aligned my day-to-day actions with my core values, I noticed a powerful shift: it became easier to live these values without guilt yet still be sensitive to the needs of those around me. I was no longer being buffeted by the perceived expectations of others – I was growing to become the best version of myself. I’m now firmly on a path toward self-actualisation, feeling much more grounded, empowered, and fulfilled. I’m deeply grateful for the support and wisdom Richard shared throughout this journey. It may sound like a cliché, but it’s been quite life changing.

I began coaching sessions with Rich feeling uncertain about my current job, unclear about where I was heading, and overwhelmed by the competing demands on my time and energy. I felt as though I was juggling my family’s expectations, the demands of my job, and my own personal ambitions, without knowing how to give each the attention they deserved. I didn’t know where to begin.
From the very first session, Rich created a calm and non-judgemental space where I felt safe to speak openly and honestly. I hadn’t realised how much weight I was carrying until I had the opportunity to unpack it. Rich’s thoughtful and compassionate approach allowed me to explore the deeper reasons behind my choices, helping me separate what I truly wanted from what I felt obligated to do.
One of Rich’s many great strengths is his ability to listen deeply and reflect back the essence of what is being expressed. He often translated my long and sometimes emotional reflections into clear, concise insights. That shift in perspective gave me the space to think more deeply within myself and identify new possibilities that had previously felt out of reach. With his support, I moved from feeling stuck to experiencing a genuine sense of direction.
The coaching journey helped me reconnect with what truly matters to me, both personally and professionally. With Rich’s guidance, I developed a realistic and balanced plan that honours my family commitments while supporting my career goals and personal wellbeing. Each session left me feeling lighter, more confident, and more in control of the path ahead.
I truly believe I would not have reached this milestone without Rich. His calm presence, insightful input, and ability to hold space for genuine reflection helped me gain the insight I needed to move forward. I now feel empowered to make decisions that align with both my values and responsibilities. I’m incredibly grateful for the time and support Rich gave me, and for the growth I’ve experienced through his coaching.

Rich has a rare ability to listen deeply, ask the right questions, and guide you toward your own solutions rather than imposing advice. His structured yet flexible approach helped me break through mental roadblocks, and what started as a search for clarity became the catalyst for a significant breakthrough.
Working with Rich has been a transformative experience, both professionally and personally. When I first approached him, I was at a crossroads in a project that was important to me, but I lacked the clarity to take decisive action. Through his insightful coaching, I was able to define my goals, build confidence, and most importantly, take the necessary steps toward success.
Beyond his professional expertise, Rich is a genuinely kind and thoughtful person, deeply committed to the success and well-being of those he works with. Now, knowing him both personally and professionally, I can say with confidence that he is someone who truly cares about helping others create meaningful change in their lives. If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply need guidance on your journey, I highly recommend reaching out to Rich. His coaching is not just about strategies—it’s about real, lasting transformation.

I have been working with Rich for several months and continue to be amazed at his emotional intelligence, which allows me to more effectively tap into my own. Rich helps me remain centred so that I can focus on my objective for the session and, thanks to him, I have achieved real results. We set a goal for every session and if I stray from the goal Rich gently brings me back so that we can focus on the task at hand. Coaching sessions with Rich have helped me to be my best self and to achieve the objectives I had set. Rich is a great coach and an amazing human being and his coaching is effective and enriching.

Richard introduced me to using AI via the new training package he has developed, working from the point of view that I had never used AI before and had no idea of how to. Over a period of about 90 minutes he introduced me to Anthropic’s Claude, demonstrating its wide ranging abilities and simple shortcuts to set up anything you want it to do. I found the whole process easy to understand and can see its benefits in both personal computing and small businesses.
I am now a registered user of Claude thanks to this and thanks to Richard’s patient teaching.

I arrived for my training with Rich as a complete novice, nervous and suspicious of AI in general. I left feeling reassured and confident, with a working understanding of how to get started with AI, and how to get the very best out of a ‘digital assistant’. I learnt new words and phrases, and now understand about prompts and context, leaving me confident that I can make a start on my own – using AI to work for me, ease the burden and make my life simpler. After an initial introduction Rich honed in on a task specific to me, so I could see its practical application to my various lines of work. He was patient and thorough, happy to follow my slightly scatterbrain thought process and answer all my questions. I thoroughly enjoyed my training session and can highly recommend him.

Before attending this training, I was reasonably confident with IT and technology in general, but AI was something I knew very little about other than some of the stories you read in the media. The course was a really good introduction, explaining how AI works in a way that was easy to understand without being overly technical.
What I liked most was that it focused on practical use as well as the theory behind it. Rich used clear examples and after the initial theory part we spent some time looking at how I could use AI to help in my garden design, very practical and useful to me, which made the whole subject feel much more accessible.
I came away with a far better understanding of what AI can and can’t do, along with some useful tips, including how to write an effective prompt – the whole basis of getting useful results. The session was engaging, informative and we worked entirely at my pace. Rich was very patient answering all my questions and I left feeling much more confident about using AI in both my work and personal life.
I’d happily recommend this training to anyone who wants a straightforward, practical introduction to AI

I had a 2 hour introduction to using AI with Wider Horizons. I found it easy to follow; there was full explanation given at each step in a patient, unhurried way, I was encouraged to ask questions and Richard made sure I understood before moving on. It looks very useful for a business setting but I could soon see the potential for my retirement interests too. I learnt some pitfalls and how to avoid them and generally I look forward to using AI confidently in different contexts.
