"I have found Neville's ability to attentively listen, sensitively probe while sharing common sense strategies both energising and encouraging. Neville has the unique style and skill of taking the most complexed of issues and breaking them down into bite sized chunks. I would confidently recommend Neville as a life enhancement coach that every doctor, health professional or anyone in a similar highly pressurised environment should utilise."

"I have sought advice from Neville on a number of issues on an informal basis.

Neville's communication skills are exemplary. He has a very kind manner, in addition to this he is a very attentive listener. He is absolutely non-judgemental in his approach to people and he takes people at face value.

My personal view from working very closely with Neville is that I feel that he has a considerable amount of expertise in emotional intelligence. This has even inspired me to take up a learning course with the Royal College of Physicians on emotional intelligence.

My view is that Neville is extremely competent and can provide excellent help and support to colleagues and for their future endeavours."

"I have been a GP for a number of years and much like many of my colleagues I am passionate about our vocation, but to enable us to remain healthy, stable and well, we all need what Neville Watson brings to the table, empathy, understanding, solutions, coping strategies and a great sense of humour. I will be recommending Neville as a Life & Wellness Coach extraordinaire to all my colleagues."

Neville Watson visited Rochester YOI to talk about the FFC programme and explain the mentoring side of this project. The day after his visit, I was asked if I could find a mentor for a young lad who is returning to the North London area, who loves sport but has nothing lined up for work or opportunities when he is released in July. I spoke to Neville who agreed readily – he came to meet with ‘John’ and was quick to see the potential but also aware of many issues the young man has. He offered practical support but also – more importantly, contacted his family and met up with them where he discovered their many and complex needs. I believe we need more people working within and alongside Prison establishments, who tackle the families’ issues and pressures surrounding offenders and their lifestyle.

Neville’s enthusiasm, confidence and experience in working with some of the most complex people, is to be applauded. Having sat in on a session with Neville and his mentee – I believe Neville is blessed with a unique gift that allows him to win trust and then speak the truth of a situation into the lives of those he works with. He is not afraid to challenge negative thinking, behaviour and their consequences. With financial backing and support, I believe Neville will make a significant impact in the lives of those he works with to reduce their chances of re-offending and bring them into a new, confident and right way of living. He also has the skills to energise, empower and enable others who will hopefully join his team, to work in the same effective way.

The Team of REFOCUS YOUTHS LIMITED, a charity working with families and young people, has known Neville Watson of FIRST 4 CHANGE since 2009. He has been a conference speaker at several Conferences for Parents organised by the charity. He has given training to our Directors and Team Members on working with offenders and ex-offenders. In every role he has shown professionalism, empathy, patience, unique understanding, humour and a real sense of purpose.

His ability to motivate, inspire and connect with people at all levels has certainly been of great benefit to our organisation and feedback from parents pointed him out as the speaker who made the most impact on them, and thus the best of them all.

It is always a beautiful experience to work with Neville, and while thanking him for his dedication and positive impact on people, we would like to offer our commendation and support the future expansion of his work.

"It is often difficult for health professionals to share their own concerns both personally and professionally, so to find an outlet such as Neville is truly a Godsend. Neville's intuitiveness is quite remarkable. I could not recommend and endorse his work as a life and wellness coach more highly. Thank you Neville. "
