"I have found you very encouraging and motivating. I find you listen carefully and make a tremendous effort to understand EXACTLY what it is I am trying to say. Once we've clarified this, you help me work through things, challenging me to think for myself rather than trying to provide answers for me. This I've found what is so motivating - just having someone guide me to finding the answers I have within rather than trying to telling me answers that they think I am looking for. If I do get stuck and can't find my way, somehow you manage to give me options/ guidance/ challenges that make me think clearer. Besides all this, having a great sense of humour (which i think is crucial). Just having mentioned I was doing some research on leadership and you getting me lots of info that was really useful is one example of you genuinely caring and always being supportive. To sum up – I think you are a great guy, very professional in your approach while at the same time very approachable and LOTS OF FUN" Mandeep Gill, Head of School, Richmond Upon Thames College
