Chris (Collings) has recently run a one-day strategy session with our Board Directors, that has simply been fantastic – resulting in alignment, clarity and a clear path forward to undoubted spectacular growth.
Over my 40 years in business I have seen endless Management Consultants, who have guided and coached me through significant business change/growth/re-sizing, but Chris is in a different league.
The value we obtained from a one-day session is immeasurable. I could not recommend him highly enough.
For over a year Chris has provided close counsel to our family office succession program. He has been instrumental to our success.
Chris quickly identified and distilled key issues, establish a trusted rapport with differing stakeholders and synchronised with our organisation’s tempo. His calm, thoughtful and engaged coaching style enabled him to bring all stakeholders along on their individual and our collective journey, and Chris continues to play an invaluable role in our future planning today.
We have voluntarily recommended Chris to other organisations with similar independent coaching needs.

What’s it been like working with Chris? I have big plans for an industry with a reputation for resisting cultural change. That’s a tall order for a tragic over-thinker like me.
Chris helps me get out of my own way – to clear my thinking, set my direction, and be effective.
I honestly don’t think we’d have made anywhere near as much progress over the last couple of years without him.
Your true north awaits.
Our navigators can help you find it.

Within an hour of our first coaching session Chris (Spinks) had revolutionised the way I think about relationships and how Iinfluence those around me.
Chris (Spinks) understands how to dive deep into underlying fears/bias/thoughts etc. and bring them to the conscious mind, while creating a safe and comfortable environment for his clients.
I learnt a lot about myself and also how to interact with others better.
The structure of the course is something that I enjoyed, Chris didn’t just read off a piece of paper but wrote down our individual answers to his questions and then tailored the program to specifically target our individual needs. I can now use the tools that I learnt to continually grow in the outside world.
​
Chris is great at what he does and I would highly recommend anyone that is thinking of doing his course to better themselves or their team.

FOUNDING DIRECTOR Serendis Leadership
Richard (Attrill) is an experienced and dedicated executive coach and mentor. He participated in the annual Women in Banking and Finance Mentoring Program in 2014 and in 2017.
On both occasions, he has been an exceptional mentor and contributed significantly to the professional and personal growth of his mentees.
The program has been running for 10 years and supports the development of female emerging leaders in the banking and finance industry.
Richard has supported the initiative for many years through his participation as a mentor but also as a senior executive at Westpac, committing the firm to sponsor the program. On behalf of Serendis and WiBF, I am very grateful for his continued support.
I am writing on behalf of Richard Attrill, and the work that he has done at Westpac Institutional Bank (WIB). Richard was one of the leaders of our Financial Markets business in London and subsequently Sydney, who has had a long career in financial markets with previous roles at Commerzbank, Credit Suisse and Barclays
Richard has always had a passion for people. Richard ran various derivative risk, structuring and advisory businesses within the investment bank and part of numerous leadership teams. His desire for further development led him to pursue a masters in Coaching Psychology at Sydney University.
Richard designed and implemented a global structured mentoring program across WIB working with our various business partners across the Globe. Wellbeing and mental health issues were a key focus, and this meant working with HR businesses globally. The program was highly structured. Noting the difference this was making as a game changer for staff - we awarded Richard and his program a Partnership award at the 200 year anniversary of Westpac in 2016.
