"Thanks to Layne Stretton and James Gallacher for supporting us in the APA region on our Career Development sessions. I highly recommend #Yellowboxcareers for anyone seeking practical sessions with tangible outcomes for their team. Career Development is so much more than just the role you fall into!"

I've been working with Layne Stretton for almost 12 months and have found his counsel to be enlightening enriching, and in many of our sessions, confronting. (in a positive way!) Transitioning from 'activity' based thinking to 'strategic and leadership' based thinking is not necessarily a straightforward process. Having Layne as a resource to help frame the key competencies required to transition into a more strategic role has been of immense benefit to me. I have no hesitation in recommending his services.

I worked with Layne for my professional development with a focus on career progression. Layne offered valuable advice and used a variety of techniques to roadmap my development goals. I found Layne very approachable and engaging, extremely knowledgeable and a true professional. The time spend with Layne proved to be truly valuable with positive outcomes. I have no hesitation on recommending Layne as a coach and an advisor for any aspirational leader.

“Layne has been a great coach to me - providing that important balance of consistent support with constructive feedback. He certainly helped me navigate and evaluate professional opportunities with a structured framework and decision making process. He is also a genuinely nice guy and a pleasure to spend time with!”

“Layne provided coaching services and advice to me when I was at a significant career crossroads. His practical advice and relevant experience allowed me to evaluate what was really important to me at that time. The process we worked through meant I was clear about my next steps and what organizations I was most well suited to. He was supportive, knowledgeable and just easy to work with. It was a difficult time for me personally and I thank Layne for his professionalism and advice that helped me land a great gig that I enjoy. I would thoroughly recommend Layne for his consulting advice and coaching support.”

“Layne is one of the best executive coach in business. He tailors his approach to the needs of each individual, working with you to decide the areas where the two of you can have the greatest positive impact on how you’re viewed, your capabilities and your success”.

“Layne's pragmatic and tangible coaching both inspired and empowered me to do the introspective work and take the real steps to shift my career back onto the correct path. He helped me enormously and I recommend him to others who are feeling the need to review their career direction or momentum”.
