After an extended career in K-12 education, and an extensive vetting process, Paul Rees of Accolade Academy and I decided to partner in my journey to clarify my direction and to realize my career goals. Through much introspection and the insightful nature of Mr. Rees, tough decisions were made, and positive changes began to happen -- first, in my current work place. I found that my colleagues and superiors responded to the changes in me in a positive way and even asked if I had plans for bigger and better things. And their hunch was right, within 6 months of the program, I landed a coveted position within my field and began to leverage my potential to do more. That is when Paul asked that I partner with Accolade to expand the company's reach into higher education, and rather than only work with individuals - team building was of great importance. It was a natural progression that led to years of growth afforded not only to myself, but to districts both public and private. Now, in this time of virtual learning, and with a program that was built to run online, I feel it is Paul Rees and Accolade's time to shine. Paul's professionalism and zeal for life only emphasize what happens when you connect with Accolade.

Through special invite from the respected Professor Lee Irwin, Paul's soft skills training and business coaching teachings were presented as part of Professor Lee Irwin’s class curriculum. The student grew in confidence and the quality of thought to action showed huge increases in performance

Like many businesses Onit Sport has used so many of the traditional styles of staff training available to improve on skill and staffing responsibilities and having all the skills we needed in place we were looking for a training programme that would resonate with our staff in a way that brought equal thought of value to our business. Paul Rees professional business coaching has been instrumental in the success of Onit Sports expansion of business. Using the EETA programme within our business has increased our sale and efficiency by at least 35%. All levels of staffing have benefited from the programme in such a positive productive way we will definitely be continuing long term with Accolade Academy.

The Accolade Academy EETA program was introduced to all our leader staff and has been an annual program that’s fixed as part of our statuary training. The maturity and increase in emotional productivity benefited from the EETA program by our staff is substantially recognisable throughout each store since its introduction, returning a greater level of customer satisfaction and productive team work and above all a healthy organisation.

What a combination! Both Paul and Deb merge to intertwine their intuitive insights and sound psychological guidance to help pinpoint those hidden aspects of ourselves and shine a light on them. You get to then re-direct that focus in the direction you want to bring your life. Aspects like self-worth and self-love are wonderful skills. In my first two months I doubled my income and created a wonderful new romance, what more could I ask for?? The EETA programme is a must for personal and career building – Adrian Bollard

Having initially introduces the 6-month staff programme I moved up to the elite team programme for my team. Both programmes have far excited my expectations and dramatically introduces a quality to ideas, thinking and direction not experienced by my staff in trading history. Accolade and its coaching direction is now a set schedule in my business that I will always see its benefits

In the world of coaching it can be difficult for a client to find the right coach for their business. My advice would be look at the skill set of your coach – arrange a scoping call and after the initial session ask yourself ‘Did I get pushed to a new mindset level?’ This happened on my first call with Paul from Accolade. Paul is certainly not your typical run of the mill business coach, he is adept at delving into your business foundations and understanding what your vision is and how that aligns with the vision for your life.

Paul has invaluable knowledge and wisdom in regard of leadership and business building . His lessons were one’s you can carry with you throughout your life . His passion for helping others is unmatched and truly inspiring.

Paul is an absolutely amazing business coach. He has the ability to immediately perceive his mentees mind-set. This is essential if we are talking about Emotional Intelligence.

In all my work with Paul he would never clock watch and gave more than needed to. Paul worked with me through very difficult times and has been a fantastic guide and support. Without hesitation I would recommend Paul

Paul is an inspiration and a breath of fresh air! He promotes self-belief and changing the mind-set to help us achieve our dreams. He is an excellent public speaker and will definitely get the crowd uplifted.
