Coach Bradley Tyack

Working with Brad over a number of months provided me with structure and space to think about the ‘big questions’ that I had been avoiding thinking about and also highlighted I needed to find more time for myself and to get off of auto-pilot with work/life balance. Brad helped me with life problem-solving. Some problems I knew I had, some I did not or did not want to admit to having. Prior to working with Brad, I had invested some time with MOE Foundation developing my coaching skills and meeting like-minded individuals. Brad was one of the trainers on the MOE class and we agreed to work together independently. Being close to retirement, I had a general life-plan, however, some anxiety regarding ‘what next’ and if I was performing my current job well enough and was challenged with my work/life balance. Brad was keen to have regular sessions over Skype which worked well, as I could fit into my work & travel schedule. Brad provided me with honest and fair feedback during the sessions encouraging me to engage, think carefully about what next and how my general behaviour and outlook was impacting on my partner, friends and colleagues - on a day to day basis. The ‘light-switch’ moment came when I realised that I was on auto-pilot at work and home and was suffering from anxiety & stress. We explored some Mindfulness techniques and Brad recommended some additional reading. I am now more self-aware of the need for a better work/life balance and think about how my behaviour impacts others, on a daily basis. I now regularly find time to walk 25-30 miles per week, which allows me more ‘thinking-time’. I now feel more relaxed, balanced and self-aware. I try harder to be a more ‘chilled-out’ and a better person in all external interactions, with myself and family. The simple tip of reviewing at the end of each day all the interactions with people and if something could have been ‘better’ make an effort the next day to tell that person (in person or phone, text email) , that the interaction could have been better– was pretty cool, and works. Also thanking people more often genuinely, at work and home makes for a more positive environment. Brad is a good listener and brings his life-skills experience to the table, as required. I found working with Brad challenging but rewarding and would recommend anyone who wants to seriously think about the ‘big questions’ to contact Brad.

"I have had the pleasure of working with Bradley on the MOE Foundation Coach Training, where he volunteers his time to facilitate the learning of trainee coaches. He brings a positive, proactive and engaging energy, offering guidance and support to learners. Bradley takes the time to get to know all participants individually and quickly builds rapport through his genuine and warm interactions. Bradley is a talented and dedicated individual who puts the needs of the individual learners at the forefront of his training, without detracting from the aims of the sessions. I have been impressed with his level of professionalism and knowledge, sharing his expertise of coaching to support learners to further their understanding. I would certainly recommend Bradley in any facilitating/training capacity."

Brad is a great listener and will do his utmost to guide you. A negative view on life, myself and what I was capable of. I was drinking too much and was too frightened and reticent to do anything about this. I had no real career aspirations and was suffering as a result of shutting out the world and alienating those around me. I found it almost impossible to handle any sort of pressure or responsibility due to very low confidence and self-esteem.The process involved trying to pinpoint how, when and why things had gone wrong in my life. Methods such as rage release, life-mapping, light hypnosis and the introduction of a variety of coping techniques made up the six sessions. Brad helped me set life-enhancing goals and tasks that have gradually raised said self-esteem, allowing me to begin breaking destructive cycles and make up for lost time. Practical and personal advice given on addiction were highly useful in assessing my relationship with alcohol. The main difference for me has been a new sense of optimism, in that I do actually have a lot to give and the strength to succeed and make positive change. Evaluating elements of my past has led to a better understanding of my present, and which paths to take for a better future. With Brad's help, self-loathing has gradually given way to self-acceptance, and an increased level emotional awareness. If you are genuinely willing to hold up a mirror to your life and improve it, then do it.

I was privileged to to be coached and trained by Brad as part of my MOE Coaching certification, a 6 week training course. From a coaching perspective Brad gave me the safe space to think and share my ideas and thoughts. I felt engaged by him and listened to and we built a rapport straight away. I challenged him with my complex ideas which he was able to help me understand and unravel to make my goal clear and come up with achievable actions. Brad also coached outside of the course on issues relating to anxiety and insomnia. Brad helped me to approach such issues from a different angle and provided me with some tools to cope and alleviate the problem. Its safe to say that i was sleeping better after just one session.Brad is an effective communicator, fantastic listener and skilled in coaching, an NLP specialist i would highly recommend.

Brad had a great way of using his NLP skills to help me feel at ease and relaxed in his company. enough to open up about root causes of behavioural patterns i had that were getting in the way of my progress in life. He also used some great practical techniques to enable me to realise my true goals that i will benefit from focusing on. I would highly recommend Brad to anyone looking to move on from feeling a little stuck or lacking in direction as his approach is fast acting, professional and effective.

I felt at a loss as i had tried everything else possible. The patches, sprays, gum, inhalers, cold turkey,hypnotherapy, champix and zyban. Over the last 15 years i had tried to quit so many times i lost count and was depressed that each time followed the same pattern. I would always be continually thinking about smoking and unable to remove the desire for a cigarette. I travelled from someone who wanted a reprogramming of his brain to stop thinking about smoking, to a person who understands the long journey required to quit an addiction. The process was one of self realisation, I was guided by Brad to try new things and came to decisions by myself around smoking. W e set targets and goals together and worked towards them. I feel so much more empowered about understanding addiction and empowered to make decisions that benefit me. I believed in myself more due to the steady progression that Brad and i aimed for and achieved. Should you be considering working with Brad go for it. you've made the first step in recognizing a trait that you would like to change. Brad can guide you through it.
