About us

With so many companies and coaches to choose from why would you want to choose Coaching & Mentoring Services? Well let us tell you a little bit about what makes us different.

How we work

Starting with you

At Coaching & Mentoring Services we want the same as you do. To achieve goals, remove barriers to success, work collaboratively, embrace diversity, respectfully and restoratively, and to know what the return on our investment will be. Our aim is to work with you, and know that when our journey together draws to an end, you continue on your way confidently. Our coaching, mentoring and training is as individual as you are, and so we start with you, understand where you are now, where you want to be, and plan the journey with you.

Viv Buckland

It's my pleasure to be the Managing Director of Coaching & Mentoring Services. I have worked in senior leadership positions for many years and have observed the good, the bad and the mediocre. Here at C&MS we believe that only great leadership is good enough and are delighted to work with those who want to step up and accept that challenge.

I was given some feedback, quite some years ago now, that when I really started focusing on coaching, my leadership impact grew significantly. I'm passionate about coaching because the positive changes left in its wake support the delivery of transformational change. When I later took a journey of learning through NLP, it provided a springboard for cultural change.

Whether at individual or organisational level helping people to be their very best makes every day a great day.
