KIND WORDS

“Nobby is an excellent coach. He has so much varied experience and from it he has derived a store of wisdom which he deploys with subtlety and precision.

But more importantly, before he reaches into it, he listens, absorbs and considers. He guides you to discover in yourself the answers that you need.”

Paul Kitcatt
Creative Consultant - Founder and CCO Kitcatt Nohr

“Nobby has the ability to unlock your creative potential using his many years of industry experience alongside fun and engaging practical exercises.”

George Chinn

“Having Nobby as my creativity coach is just brilliant. He’s incredibly experienced and knowledgeable so I’m always learning.”

Meg Fenn FRSA MA

“Nobby gave me the tools to break out of a self-limiting cage that was stifling my creative expression.

By focussing in on my inspirations, my true passions were re-awakened, and I was able to expand into areas that excite and motivate me.”

Sophia Mew
Designer

“Empathetic and supportive, he has assisted me in developing new insights and reframing problems and is excellent at keeping me to task.

As a highly experienced creative director, he totally understands brand image and what works (and what doesn’t).”

Gail MacIndoe
Photographer

“Nobby is the consummate storyteller. I challenge anyone to introduce a topic on which he doesn’t have an insightful anecdote. Especially when it comes to the business of creativity.”

Kay Jones
Copywriter

“Nobby knows creativity like a fitness coach knows a gym. To be in the best shape you can’t just focus on one area.

Each week he would look at a different aspect of creative life and help me to stretch my mind.”

Katherine Hardy RCA
Illustrator

“Right from the get-go, working with Nobby has been a delight. Of course, he’s a font of industry knowledge, and has a host of practical tools to get you thinking in different ways.

But, it’s his authenticity and humility that I most value and admire. And our sessions continue to be a highlight in my diary.”

Rob Bartlett
Iconographer / Designer

“Overall, I have made massive progress in mapping out the next phase of my life and paved the way to a more productive, purposeful and hopefully profitable life!”

Mark Fallows

“I have gained confidence in the work I produce. Twelve months ago I had little confidence in calling myself a printmaker but know I’m proud to call myself a photographer and printmaker.

Nobby has given me the skills (or refreshed the skills I already had) to look at things in a different way and apply this to my work.”

Mark Lord
Photographer and Printmaker

“Working with Nobby is great fun – we laughed a lot – alongside getting ‘the work’ done.

He’s got a huge wealth of knowledge to impart – he’s wise, interesting, and entertaining and great company.

Warren Buffet said that “By far the best investment you can make is in yourself.”… Working with Nobby was an investment in myself and my business, and it was worth every penny.”

Lucy Farmbrough

“Nobby’s coaching style got me to constantly revisit the work we were doing. This approach gently took me to a point where things start to make sense.

He made this process easy and the sessions were always fun and very productive.“

Phil Sills
Photographer & printmaker

“Through supported dialogue, you have helped me work through layers of confusion and uncertainty and evolve towards clarity and understanding…of a recessed and forgotten creative focus and resource. You helped me remember a passion, and an emotional resonance and set me on a path to reframe my skill set.

You helped me understand how my own personal creative endeavours bear relevance and equally importance in my day-to-day workings and Potential client offer. You also helped me remember an earlier creative aesthetic/approach which may very well be important and start to evolve as I continue my broader creative journey/experience.”

Richard Midgely
Creative Director, Printmaker, Photographer

“I love Nobby’s relaxed manner and focus. His listening skills are remarkable, and his knowledge is deep.

At a time when I was struggling to get perspective and clarity on my creative path moving forward, Nobby’s wisdom, expertise and understanding enabled me to have a clear view and objectives to move forward.

My sessions with Nobby were invaluable.”
