About Ashdown Business Coaching...
Ashdown Business Coaching is run by Jim Pirrie BSc(eng) MBA.
Jim has 20 years corporate experience and holds an MBA from one of the UK's leading business schools.
Since starting his own training and coaching business in 2001 his clients have included the highest level of many of the world's leading professional services firms in the UK and overseas, local business owners, and everything inbetween.
His experience ranges from service businesses to manufacturing, from product design to business processes and systems, from business strategy to marketing.
He has been a Certified NLP Coach and Master Practitioner since 2004, having trained with one of the UK's leading coach training schools. He has also trained with some of the world's leading trainers and practitioners, indeed with several of the co-founders of NLP including Robert Dilts, Judith DeLozier, Suzi Smith and Tim Halbom. He has been a member of the International Coaching Federation, the world's leading professional body for coaches, since that time.
"Jim is a fantastic coach. He’s incredibly knowledgeable about what motivates you, and takes the time to really listen and understand your concerns.
While he probably knows what is probably bothering you or clogging you, he walks you through the steps that makes it a process of self-discovery. This is ultimately the most effective way, rather than being told what he thinks is the answer.
I find working with Jim a real pleasure and I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone."
