TESTIMONIALS
“Antonio worked with my organisation for almost five years, growing rapidly in different positions ultimately becoming our Retail Director. (…) Detail-oriented and focused on operational efficiencies, he thought about what needed to be done, how it could be done quickly without losing quality, always following up to ensure successful completion. Antonio is an intense, driving, result-orientated self-starter whose sense of urgency is tempered and disciplined by his concern for the accuracy and quality of the work to be done. He holds himself, and those with whom he works, to exacting, ever-increasing goals. He can react and adjust quickly to changing conditions and come up with practical ideas for dealing with them. (..) Antonio is a great motivator in managing and developing his staff; a team builder who uses effective communication and performance management to encourage the broad development of individuals and to manage conflict and change; an outstanding coach and mentor. With his people, interviewing and communication skills; his strategic, operational, sale, costs and budgeting strengths; his problem solving, decision making and project management ability; his focus on customer service and C.R.M; his eye for detail in presentation, visual and display, Antonio would be an asset for any organisation. Thank you for the 5 great years that Antonio has been with us, for the support, dedication and loyalty he has shown and how he has assisted in driving the business forward.”

“Every day I go through an internal ‘thank you’ process for your coaching. I was initially interested in coaching as a tool to provide some direction in my life. (…) I’m proud of my newly discovered ability to ‘think bigger’ and set great goals that are tailor-made to my lifestyle and values. I celebrate success and don’t take things for granted. (…). I now put all of my ideas into action and remove the clutter in my life! The most fantastic thing about coaching is learning techniques to tap into the endless possibilities you can create for yourself. Great things can really happen. I appreciate every minute of your time and commitment to helping me make a difference to my life.”
“I worked with Antonio at Pringle when I was Creative Director there. With his systematic and methodical way of working – something we can overlook in such a busy creative environment – he made a great improvement. Antonio was simply inspirational to the staff: always trying to get their best qualities from them and keeping each of us positive at all times, even in the most stressful periods of the fashion cycle.”
Antonio is an absolutely stellar consultant and practically one-of-a-kind with his 360 degree approach. He has helped us immensely over the last years in almost every single department from retail to operations, merchandising to wholesale, e-commerce to accounts and design to marketing, all of which we have improved in vastly. He is incredibly organized and also persistent with his follow ups which help guarantee continued progress.
