GILES FABRIS’s Summary

Formally educated in Europe (Milan, Italy and a comprehensive “Oxford examination” education in England, UK), Fabris has a very diverse background and brings his love for performance coaching to the business arena. He is a world champion adventure-sports coach and competitor who brings a unique aspect to business coaching and consulting.
“Giles routinely goes above and beyond to exceed client’s expectations and delivers an experience that transforms clients into raving, lifelong fans, “said Tom Stacey, Chief Business Editor of OneCoach. “He also has an intuitive grasp of issues that matter to small-business owners, and has an uncanny ability to provide problem-solving value that strengthens a relationship and cements it for years to come.”
