I’ve worked with Craig Sclare over a number of years, first through the VolkerWessels Leadership Development Programme. Craig has a rare ability to create a safe space for honest reflection while also challenging you to think differently about leadership and the role you play in it.

Craig is hugely insightful and deeply pragmatic. He understands the realities and pressures leaders face and has a talent for helping people navigate those challenges with greater clarity and confidence. His coaching never feels theoretical — it’s grounded, practical, and focused on helping you make real progress.

Craig has been particularly valuable in helping me better understand my own strengths and weakness, and in building the self-awareness and emotional intelligence needed to lead effectively in complex environments.

He listens carefully, asks the right questions, and offers perspectives that genuinely shift how you approach problems. I’ve always found Craig’s support both challenging and supportive in exactly the right balance.

If you have the opportunity to work with Craig as a coach or leadership development partner, I would strongly recommend it.
