Your Solution for…
Welcome To CoachStation
We believe in the power of leadership and successful businesses. Coaching, Mentoring and Management Development – developing leadership capability, management effectiveness and business productivity.
Steve Riddle created CoachStation in 2010 in response to his own experiences working for small, medium, national and international organisations for over 20 years. In that time, like most of us, Steve was exposed to many managers and leaders, some who were good and others who were not overly effective. He felt that this limitation to leadership and business success did not necessarily have to be the case. These experiences also highlighted the impact poor leadership has on employee engagement and business success. Conversely, effective leaders have an enormous positive impact.
Assuming that people have the natural skills of leadership is a fallacy. Providing a supported and deliberate leadership development strategy is the best approach to build and strengthen a business. We know this because we have helped dozens of organisations do exactly that. I have also individually coached and mentored well over 450 people and leaders, most of who have gone on to build satisfying careers and input into their organisations.
They have learned what ‘true success’ looks and feels like.

This is is my review of our coaching experience and I hope it reflects my gratitude and the profound impact you’ve had on me.
Before meeting Steve, I struggled with perfectionism and battled negative self-talk, which hindered my willingness to take risks and embrace growth. Steve’s authenticity and care created a safe space to explore my thoughts and emotions openly. Steve took the time to get to know me and honestly, the self-reflection helped me get to know ‘me’ a little better too.
Steve’s guidance served as a transformative mirror which allowed me to recognise my strengths and confront my limitations. Steve’s coaching style is the perfect blend of encouragement, care and constructive challenge when needed.
For the first time in my career, I have the confidence to embrace my leadership style and I’m equipped with the tools to drive a culture of empowerment and growth. I always felt seen by Steve, always. He met me with curiosity, compassion and constructive challenge when needed and helped me find my voice.
Thanks to Steve’s support, I recently earned a promotion and I’m eager to continue my journey with Steve by my side.
I am writing this testimonial to express my deepest gratitude and appreciation to Steve for his unwavering support and guidance in helping me develop my leadership skills. Steve’s mentoring and coaching abilities have made a profound impact on my personal and professional growth, and I am forever grateful for the time we spent together and the ability to reflect on myself and my qualities as a leader.
From the very beginning, it was clear to me that Steve was not only a skilled mentor, but also a genuine and kind human being. His authenticity, compassion, and dedication to helping others shine through in every interaction. Steve’s natural ability to connect with individuals on a personal level has made his mentoring experience truly enriching and empowering. CoachStation and my time with Steve has been so invaluable because of the time and care Steve puts into your personal sessions that make them a standout from any other leadership training I have completed.
Throughout our time working together, I have witnessed firsthand his exceptional competency as a leadership mentor. His depth of knowledge and expertise in the field of leadership has allowed me to explore my own strengths, weaknesses, and potential as a leader. Steve helped me to truly reflect on myself and he had an innate talent for guiding me towards uncovering my abilities and honing them to their fullest potential.
The mentorship and coaching sessions facilitated by Steve have been nothing short of transformative. Your compassionate and empathetic nature has fostered a safe space for me to embrace vulnerability, explore new concepts, and challenge my existing beliefs. Your patient and non-judgmental approach has encouraged me to step into my leadership role with more kindness, confidence, and skill.
Steve raises the benchmark for professional coaching and mentoring. From the very first session, Steve was personable, relatable and humble enough to provide me with the opportunity to critically reflect on my professional and personal journey with complete comfort. Steve will motivate and inspire you to expand the boundaries of what is possible.
He genuinely cares about making a difference and his influence on your growth can be felt personally, professionally and organisationally. Joining my journey at a time when I was struggling to be my best, Steve ensured I became aware of my core values, balancing my levers and how to be an effective leader of myself in order to effectively lead and influence others.
Steve challenges you to be accountable for your own development and provides you with the appropriate tools and framework to achieve your goals. Since commencing my journey with Steve, my career has realigned with my ambitions, my team has benefited enormously and my ability to find balance in my personal life has improved immeasurably.
I hold Steve in the highest regard and recommend his coaching and mentorship to all aspiring leaders who want to make a difference.
My interactions with Steve have truly been game changing. Our first session was over 6 years ago when my former employer engaged him to provide leadership coaching to several individuals on the team.
After I left that role and co-founded Novum in 2017, Steve has been integral in providing the guidance, reassurance, and accountability we needed to successfully build a values-based company and assemble a team of talented, passionate, collegiate people.
Steve’s role has evolved into a formal leadership position at Novum. His role as our Senior Business Partner continues to flourish in step with our company’s growth and success, and along the way we have become great friends.
Steve has been an integral part of the Novum team since the early days. Initially meeting Novum’s founders, Peter Boyce and Joel Ridings, as their leadership and business coach. His role has expanded to become a trusted advisor and leader in all aspects of governance, strategic planning, people, and culture.
Playing a pivotal role in the development of our team structure, culture-centric ethos, and our collective success. Steve regularly mentors and coaches all members of Novum’s team, with a particular focus on teamwork, communication, accountability, leadership and team culture.
He has genuinely transformed many of our professional and personal lives for the better, and has been highly influential in our growth as a thriving business.
Far more than a colleague, Steve is a valued friend to many at Novum. He is a trusted advisor and sounding board during times of challenge, and a voice of celebration and recognition in the good times. Steve’s genuine approach makes him a true team player. Whether it’s fostering collaboration within the team or contributing to Novum’s strategic initiatives, Steve’s commitment to us has been unwavering.
Here’s to many years of working together, learning from one another, and achieving milestones as a team. Steve, your dedication and leadership have been instrumental in our journey, and we look forward to many more years of success and collaboration. Thank you – as a mentor, coach and friend, Steve earns my highest recommendation!
