Tim is, and will always be, one of those people I respect, admire, and learn from. Tim's approach was unique, and it was a paradigm shift for most of our team members. No slides, no long winded 'explanations', no meaningless activities, just clarity of focus, effortless moderation, and insightful feedback. We not only drew our strategic plans together, we also learnt to appreciate the mastery of facilitation that Tim certainly had. He is one of those rare human beings that you can trust explicitly. He is rooted in values and is always committed to seeing others grow. So, if you are looking for a consultant or coach to truly bring out the best in you - honestly look no further. You will certainly learn more from him than you hire him for! (2026)

We have worked with Tim for over 10 years during his time at CARE International. CARE in Sri Lanka and now Chrysalis has benefited greatly from his technical advise, coaching and mentoring. Very specifically Tim has supported our engagement with the private sector by enabling us to develop a clear strategy and engage with Sri Lankan and global corporate sector. He was a member of Chrysalis's advisory team that helped the start-up. He was directly involved in the business strategy development process and supported us to navigate numerous organizational processes within CARE International. Since then he has continued to support our strategy review processes and coaching the senior leadership on organizational change management processes. He now serves as a Board Member. Tim is great at strategy formulation, facilitation and engaging people in a process of change. Absolutely great to work with. (2024).

Tim facilitated a Save the Children event on Economic Resilience bringing together Food Security and Livelihoods experts from multiple countries. Having Tim was such an added value as his facilitation style is very engaging and everyone felt at ease in contributing to the discussions. In addition, Tim introduced creative challenges which motivated participants to bond, innovate and made the event extremely enjoyable. One of the attendees said this was the best event they ever participated in and I think a lot had to do with Tim's energy and professionalism.
