WORD ON THE STREET
I've worked with these talented presenters to develop their skills and deliver exceptional RAJAR results
Chris Buckley was an incredible inspiration to me. He invested his time in developing my on air skills.
I had already presented a breakfast show for 10 years when Chris began to mentor me. He asked if I was ready to learn. At the time I didn't really grasp what he meant but within months we stripped back links and in his words 'got to the meat of the content'.
I developed more in those initial few months than I ever had. I have those skills for life, which has proven priceless time and time again in my new ventures.
I only began as a solo presenter 12 months ago and I hear his words with me at all times, as I prep and structure the links. He is an amazing mentor and I will use the knowledge that he has shared with me throughout my career! I can't ever thank him enough.
Louise Stones BBC Radio Stoke
Chris coached me for six years and during that time, he hugely developed my skills, attitude and ability, he really gets behind talent, manages to drive the best out of them, and loves to watch talent grow from his direction.
His gentle but methodical approach helps to get the best out of people. Working with presenters of different ages and abilities, I have watched Chris nurture and get the best out of a team.
While getting the best out of people, Chris also gets the whole team behind him people trust and believe in him and his direction, this has been a huge part of his success.
Simon Morykin Hallam FM Drive
At the start of my journey with Chris he quickly recognised my potential for radio despite coming from a TV presenting background and having little live on-air experience. He coached me and offered constant feedback to develop my on-air sound and bring out my personality.
Chris put his trust in me and gave me The Hits breakfast show. During that time he continued to provide daily feedback, challenge my on air skills and leverage my sound to get me to where I wanted to be.
Chris has such extensive knowledge and experience within the industry, and with that I know he will continue to bring out the best in me and help me achieve my highest potential. If it wasn’t for Chris, I wouldn’t be where I am today.'
Joe Cooper - Capital Radio
I have been presenting on radio for a long time and I had worked with Chris previously at Key 103 in the 90’s. In 2015 I was finding it harder to find permanent radio work and freelance shifts were more difficult to come by. I made the decision to quit the business and seek alternative work.
Chris reminded me of my strengths in broadcasting and suggested it wasn’t the right time to hang up the headphones. A few months later he offered me drive at Signal 1. My confidence was low and I can quite honestly say that I couldn’t have gone back full time without Chris’s guidance and support.
He made me believe in myself once again and encouraged me through tight one to one coaching. Three years on, I am the broadcaster I am now largely because of the role Chris played in that part of my career.
Rick Houghton Greatest Hits Network
Chris has made me not only the presenter I am today but also the person I am today. He stripped me right back to the basics and guided me systematically. I was very raw when I first met with him, it was a truly exciting experience working under his guidance, he knew what he wanted the result to sound like and he patiently guided me there.
Chris is brilliant at coaching and always gives constructive, creative criticism that excited me to get back on air and try it again!
