"As a U.S. resident, I was concerned about losing value from not seeing a coach in person. From the first FaceTime session, I realized how wrong I was. Ricky is one of the most empathetic and genuinely caring individuals I've ever "met", period."
BOOK A 15 MINUTE DISCOVERY CALL
KRISH RAVAL OBE
Among the most gifted trainers/therapists of his generation, I can attest to Ricky Gill’s effectiveness in bringing transformation to individuals and groups.
I have learned from Ricky whilst he has taught on a number of leadership programmes. His delivery is well paced, insightful, and energetic and I have seen him achieve results, even with the most resistant clients.
Ricky applies his considerable experience as a personal performance coach to athletes and as a therapist in the field of addictions to his work with mainstream audiences. As such his work is values based, targeted, grounded in deep knowledge and capable of engendering consistent excellence.
Since 2002, Ricky has dedicated his life to coaching, therapy and training, helping to positively shape the lives of thousands of people from all over the world. His professional life is richly diverse. Much of that experience is testament to his willingness to use his skills in challenging environments. As such, he has been equally instrumental in rehabilitation centres, the boardroom, the family home and the arena of professional sport.
