What Leaders Say
After Working With Anthony
"He helped me find my purpose again."
Keren Wilkinson, CEO, Amica Care Trust
"I have been in adult social care for almost 40 years... From the outside, I seemed confident and capable, but inside, I battled with 'not good enough' and imposter syndrome. I had coaching before but came to Anthony for help with confidence around managing a team member and Board expectations. I knew what I needed to do but kept running away—even considered retirement. Anthony helped me navigate through with grounded, practical advice and gave me a new outlook on my role and purpose. He’s inspiring, experienced, and always there when you need him. He’s now working with other members of my team, which is a testimony in itself. Thank you for your help and support."
"I wouldn’t be ahead if it wasn’t for him."
Nasim Minhas, Head of Operations Equity, Diversity and Inclusion
"Anthony is a genius, a magician, a brilliant coach. I never thought coaching could be life-changing, but I wouldn’t be a Head if it wasn’t for him. He gave me great tips for interviews and helped me believe in myself. He identified unhelpful thoughts, gave me a clear roadmap, and made me feel my goals are achievable. Anthony makes me accountable but always supports with kindness. I’m more efficient, empowered, and learning to see myself. He’s helped me understand my personal brand and how to promote it. Coaching with Anthony has been a game-changer—I sometimes wonder where I’d be if I’d met him earlier."
"He turned chaos into clarity."
Chris Trinity, Founder, Marketing Agency
"Anthony is the #1 leadership and business coach in the UK. I brought him on when I scaled my business and went from four to eight team members overnight. I didn’t know how to manage or lead at that level. Anthony helped align my team with the vision, build unity, and instill purpose. He also offered tools for business development—marketing strategies, case studies, everything. It’s been a game changer. I highly recommend getting Anthony on board if you’re trying to scale your business or lead a growing team."
"I stopped being a shrinking violet."
Christelle Johnstone, Marketing & Coms Manager, Amica Care
"After an internal promotion, I needed guidance to lead my department confidently. Anthony’s honest, straightforward style gave me clarity and tools I could use right away. Each session helped: from aligning with strategic objectives, learning to delegate with confidence, empowering my team, to giving better feedback and monitoring progress. I rewrote my business plan, became more assertive, and even created development plans for my team. I feel more confident, excited about my role, and aligned with the bigger picture. Anthony’s coaching gave me a fresh boost and real progress. I’d recommend it to anyone."
"He gave me tools to rise after failure."
Richard Amos
"I came to coaching with low confidence, fear of failure, and needing a faster way to bounce back from a career setback. The coaching workbook helped me reflect deeply. The accountability and structure pushed me forward. Anthony’s professionalism, encouragement, and interview prep helped me regain perspective and confidence. I’ve started journaling, meditating, and preparing better. I still have work to do, but I’m more aware of how to grow and how to build boundaries in future roles. Anthony’s coaching helped me understand where I am, where I want to go, and how to get there—with tools, insights, and clarity. Highly recommended."
"I am extremely lucky to have
found him!"
Samer | Senior Project Manager
"I wanted to give a huge thanks to Anthony Francis. I connected with him through Roots INSPIRE program in early 2022. I am an experienced Project Manager with 10 years’ experience but was struggling with a stagnant period in my career and development. Anthony was able to engage with me in a relatable way, utilizing his vast toolkit and past to support me in identifying my challenges and planning how to overcome them. I am extremely lucky to have found him through the program, not just for his tangible advice but also his warm and welcoming character. I hope one day I can pay it forward."
