"My coaching experience with Gromick was valuable time for me, and, having been coached by several professional coaches, I am able to say that this was one of the most powerful coaching experiences I have had. I experienced his coaching style as thoughtful, measured, steady and consistent, with quiet and attentive listening. This creates a still space in which to ‘hear oneself think’ and not feel rushed, and therefore emerge with new thinking.
Gromick has a talent for giving total attention to a client while respecting the capacity of the client to take full responsibility for the learning and changes that are intended.
He poses questions which are considered and thought-provoking, reflecting the fact that he has clear insight into the challenges one is dealing with.
I felt utterly confident in his integrity regarding his undertakings of confidentiality.
I trust that he will be given many opportunities to bring his valuable skills to people in all sectors of society, and warmly recommend him, personally and as a coach.

"I had the privilege to be coached by Thulani for six months during the beginning of 2006. I found it very easy to raise issues with him due to his good sense of humour and his general approachability. During coaching sessions, I found that his ability to listen resulted in him asking the vital questions that allowed me to see my problem from a new perspective and this allowed me to develop an action plan in order to address the issue at hand.
Also, Thulani does not only stick to a classic coaching style, on occasion he adopted a mentoring style, or even shared personal experiences with me. This varying of approach I found particularly useful in order for me to better understand my opportunities.
Based on my experiences, I recommend Thulani as a coach.
