Gareth Rees

Overview

Gareth is a business coach and consultant with a particular expertise in supporting leaders as they make the transition to new roles which require different skills. An experienced CEO and consultant in large-scale organisational change, Gareth is well placed to help executives confronted with the loneliness of leadership and the relentless demands for performance. He helps his clients to understand how their behaviour influences their performance, and the perception others in their organisation have of them.

He acts as a sounding board, challenger and supporter to clients as they set about making the changes happen.
