Patric Barry
President, Tiger International Resources

"Tiger International Resources is a publicly traded investment company primarily involved with major investment decisions in many countries, and is headed by Patric Barry from California.

We worked with Norton Bertram-Smith while assisting the launch of a significant start-up company in the United Kingdom, and he established himself as a man of vision and enterprise, a take charge person who identifies the strengths and weaknesses of a business and guides the venture to success. He has strong leadership qualities which will aid managers and leading staff and is a motivator who can make a difference.

We recommend him to any group or company which is looking for assistance."

Bruce Milne
General manager and head of production at Viscom ( Aberdeen) Limited

‘We have a very successful business at Viscom, but knowing that we could sharpen up and take it to the next level of success with a bit of tactical advice meant seeking external expertise, and that's where Norton came in’

'Having a session every two weeks with Norton has allowed me to develop and enhance the interfaces with my colleagues and improve communications across the company - our direction is much clearer and we are all pulling in the same direction. It has also prompted me to make more time for my personal life'

Jules Lancastle
Director, activitymix ltd

" Norton's input has helped us find the space to stand back from the company and re-evaluate where we are going. By providing a framework for strategic thinking our sessions with Norton keep us on track despite the interruptions of whatever day-to-day business challenges arise."

Geoffrey Purcell
Kilkee Financial Services Ltd

I first met Norton just over a year ago after he was introduced to me by Graeme Clark of Business Mentoring.

Norton has given me enormous support in that time and has driven me on to continued success this year. He has given me invaluable advice in areas such as recruiting staff, negotiating skills and marketing.

Kilkee Financial Services has benefited greatly from his vast business experience and I have would have no hesitation in recommending him as a mentor.

I have had the extreme good fortune of working with Norton over the last six months as my personal life coach. The journey I have encountered has been both powerful and fulfilling. I have discovered many things about myself and the goals I can focus on achieving. When I engaged in the coaching relationship I was unsure of what to expect, however it was quite clear from the first sessions I had a confidential and supportive environment to explore my thoughts and aspirations. Norton has been incredibly focused, professional and motivational and really aided in my own personal quest, qualities of which I would recommend to all. Fantastic!

Ewan Stewart
Chief Superintendent

I found the 3 days invaluable and think of the time as an investment in organising my 'life journey'. I was able to get out of my normal environment and think about me as an individual, identify what personal things really matter to me and reconcile these big issues with possible career choices. The organisation of my 'life journey' was fantastically assisted by the On Purpose Team and by my fellow participants in the programme. This was truly a self development event and my participation has made me much better prepared for both my personal 'life journey' and my work role with Grampian Police.

Ron Taylor
Managing Director, Parklands Group

“You have to end before you begin” is the phrase I would use to recommend this experience. There is no point in trying to brush over cracks and this course gives you the opportunity to open up, examine and move forward positively with purpose and vigour.

David Sober
Production Director, Nautronix plc

"This was the first time, that I can recall, that I have considered me, what it is that makes me tick, why I do what I do, what makes me good and bad at what I do . . . It was a very personal experience, a very positive experience, and I hope I can carry it on to sort out what it is I really need & want to be doing, and for the right reasons. The Venue, location and the team were all excellent, you’ve given me a lot to think about."
