Great Circle

“The coaching I did with Pete taught me the importance of setting goals and how achieving them plays a crucial role in order to grow as a person. As I was stuck in a rut, Peter showed me how to change my way of thinking to become more active. In gradual steps, I found my motivation increased. I discovered more belief in my potential and learnt how to push outside my comfort zone and get the best out of myself. Pete helped me to get a better picture of the life I wanted to lead and to put more balance into it. The skills I took away from this coaching will stay with me for life” - Matt (25)

“Pete is a generous person with strong core business ethics who enriches a team by his participation and valuable contribution. I would happily work with Pete or recommend him for any context where a strong Trainer, Facilitator or Coach is required.”  - Debra Pinkerton, Learning & Development Manager, Simonds Homes, Melbourne, 2010.

“We had Peter Aldin come and speak to our teenage children as a life coach. We found him to be very encouraging and helped our children to find some direction for their future careers. Peter was able to ask them the right questions that caused them to think with a different perspective pertaining  to their future potential. This reassured our children – and us as parents. The girls now have a much better grasp of their future individual career directions.”
- Bill and Karen Prentice, 2009

“Pete has a commonsense approach and it’s good to be able to bounce ideas off an ‘outsider’, working in an environment where day to day pressures make it tough to engage co-managers in some reflective problem solving.  He’s helped me develop a couple of practical answers to immediate issues affecting work performance’” – P Beckford, Manager, Building Commission, Victoria 2008/9

“Pete’s coaching really helped me to bounce back in to the work force when I lost my job due to recession earlier this year. His techniques are unique and have a personal touch.” - Gautam Jatwani, 28, Dubai (hired Pete as a Career Coach  in 2009)

“Pete has a remarkable ability to listen! I guess this is what makes his the amazing life coach that he is. There aren’t many people who actually listen to what you have to say before they make their assessments or recommendations. Peter manages to see through the side issues and help you improve and develop what actually matters. His advice is timely and spot on. I have been privileged to hear Pete speak and present many times for various audiences. His communication skills are outstanding and he always manages to connect to his audience. I have no hesitation in recommending Pete as an excellent communicator, incredible life coach and an exceptional presenter.”  - Valence Barnet, Owner, Wilson Stationery Distributors, 2009

“I looked to Pete Aldin as a coach/mentor when I entered into a new managerial role, and found sage advice and direction coupled with positive actions and encouragement as outcomes from each session. His ability to look into a professional situation and come alongside you as a supporter and encourager is supreme, and I really benefitted from our conversations and the work that came from it. Pete is a great coach, and someone you can trust will challenge you whilst helping you improve your personal/professional skills.” - Steve M, Brisbane (hired Pete as a Career Coach in 2008)

“Peter believes in ‘process’ which is liberating, especially when the pressure to ‘have arrived’ is very much still a mentality in leadership circles. He asks questions which both encourage self-understanding and empower the individual so that they leave each session convinced that the change they want is actually possible.” - S Goode (Youth Worker & Team Leader, 2007)

“I have spent what seems like a life time of searching to find the “right” combination for success. In my experience of therapy, I spent a lot of time venting, going round and around in circles, and never really achieving my goals. Coaching has changed all of that for me. It has helped me to name what I want, recognise what I yet don’t have, and help me to create the steps/strategies that move me toward  my goals. Since working with my coach Peter Aldin I’ve torn down the barriers that have controlled my life in the past, replacing  them with new habits that will lead me to my goals and living the life I choose to live. Coaching holds my focus – while I move through my fears” - Theresa (Pioneer of a new business concept and mother of 3, 2006)

“When I was first thrust into a team leading position, I sought out Peter Aldin’s assistance as I worked through the sudden changes and challenges.  With Peter, I learnt about problem-solving, setting up boundaries and listening skills … Peter’s coaching skills showed me how to deal with and handle people, gave me confidence, self-esteem and insight into understanding human behaviour.”
- Chris A. (team leader, Adult Migrant Education Service, 2005)

“Life is a balancing act, and a difficult one at that! Pete has helped me immensely to maintain ‘big-picture’ perspective and be a more effective manager of my resources. He has shown me what the hindrances are to achieving my goals and what I might do about them. He is a perceptive and non-judgmental listener  who has been instrumental in developing my self-awareness.”
- Mark G. (Student teacher, 2005 – currently a school chaplain in Melbourne Australia)

“Interactive life-coaching sessions have helped me to clearly think through personal and work-related needs, issues and problems from an entirely different perspective. Having someone whom you can interact with for decision-making, personal development, and life-related issues, has been invaluable. I highly recommend Great Circle to anyone who wants to excel in life.”
- Damien Kucan (Senior Minister, New Life Church Springvale, 2005)
