“Having worked with Rupert some years ago I jumped at the chance to have him Mentor me. Rupert was incredibly easy to work with, empathetic to the goals I was looking to achieve and had the perfect amount of challenge/self-discovery that I needed. I would gladly recommend Seeking Out Solutions & Rupert to friends and colleagues.”

— Rich Ormond, Sales Leader 

“We employed Rupert at Seeking Out Solutions to bring on the next tier of leadership within a rapidly expanding business. Not only did he manage to help them in advancing to the next stage of leadership, the challenges he led them through helped with the self-realisation and drive to another level. It also made us look closely at how we run the business and enabled a highly successful and profitable shift change in direction and outlook.”

— Toby Wait, Managing Director, MCIOB, Cumming

“I was fortunate to meet Rupert at a BII People’s Conference where we sat discussing our businesses and shared passions for hospitality. We have since been using Rupert as a coach and mentor for our SLT. They continue to benefit from an independent skilled mentor with experience of our industry.”

“After each meeting with Rupert, our leaders return with enhanced enthusiasm and alignment to the important jobs on tasks. It has added another level of accountability, targets, and striving for greater achievements not only for the business but we all see the personal worth.”

“It’s certainly been worth the time and investment in the team. I have seen a huge amount of personal growth, increased sense of achievement, and bolder target setting from those that embrace the opportunity.”

“As a company, we do a lot around development of our team and the feedback provided is that these sessions provide them with the best personal outcomes. Thank you Rupert for all your support, encouragement, and understanding of our goals.👏🏼”

— Mark Holden, Company Director of Inn Cornwall Ltd

“Rupert has been genuinely kind and supportive and has taken a completely non-judgemental and open approach to mentoring me through a number of business decisions that have taken place over the past several months. He has listened intently and has offered a sounding board for ideas and developments as well as providing useful insights, contacts, and connections. He is able to listen, understand and help provide clarity to situations and his experience means that he knows the ins and outs of all aspects of running a business. He is a good egg. ”

“I must say that I didn't initially fully understand how I could benefit from Rupert's coaching and mentoring after being recommended to connect. But as the saying goes: "you don't know what you don't know". Working with Rupert was in fact exactly what I needed.”

— Sam Ward, Sam Ward Studio

“Rupert has been extremely helpful to me and an excellent advisor and mentor during a tricky period between jobs. I do not think I would have been able to structure this period effectively without his regular input and recommendations.”

— James Virgin, Private Cellar Limited

“Rupert was a fantastic mentor, he was incredibly helpful at creating space for me to see the wood from the trees when moving forward with my career. We had an open and honest conversation and I felt really supported and confident to take the next step.”
