Xen was exceptional through his speaking engagement at the Signate Conference. He demonstrated an exceptional ability to take complex ideas and translate them into practical, relevant and engaging messages for the audience. His presentation was thoughtful, well-structured and delivered with confidence, but what stood out most was his ability to connect with people.

In my profession, we spend a significant amount of time investing in the development and success of others. The opportunity to work with Xen through a group and personal 1:1 coaching has been life changing. His ability to challenge thinking, encourage meaningful discussions and provide practical, constructive guidance has added genuine value to both my personal, professional development and influence positive outcomes in my life.

Xen brings exceptional professionalism, insight and authenticity to his work. His ability to engage an audience, facilitate meaningful discussion and provide thoughtful, constructive challenge is elite.

I have highly valued his practical approach, strong communication skills and genuine commitment to achieving positive outcomes. I would highly recommend Xen as a speaker, facilitator and coach.

Xen Angelides brought great energy, clarity and relevance to the Own Your Story workshop. The session struck a strong balance between personal reflection and practical application, helping participants better understand the value they bring and how to communicate that with confidence. It was an engaging and well-facilitated session that resonated with a broad and diverse audience.

Xen Angelides delivered an engaging and thoughtful session on personal branding that encouraged our associates to reflect on how they show up, communicate their value and own their story with confidence. The session was practical, authentic and highly relevant, with strong engagement across our teams. Xen created a space that was both accessible and thought-provoking, and the feedback from participants was extremely positive.

I thoroughly enjoyed participating in Xen’s session. Not only was the content valuable and thought-provoking, but his engaging presentation style genuinely made it enjoyable and impactful.

I left with a renewed confidence to stay true to who I am. Rather than feeling the need to promote myself and my achievements, I’ve learned to continue being myself because my actions, values and the way I show up every day will speak far louder than words.

Thank you again. I’m so looking forward to working with you in the future!

Working with Xen on the Own Your Story workshop was a fantastic experience. From the outset, he understood what we wanted to achieve and shaped the session in a way that felt authentic, inclusive and relevant to our people. The workshop generated strong engagement and very positive feedback, with participants particularly valuing the opportunity to reflect on their own story, strengths and impact. Xen has a natural ability to make personal branding feel less like self-promotion and more like confidently owning the value you bring.

I can highly recommend Xen as a coach. I was first introduced to Xen at a conference where he was the key note speaker. One of my clients who was also in the audience recommended I work with Xen on a one-on-one basis and I decided to give it a go.

This is one of the best recommendations I have had from both a personal and professional perspective - meeting with Xen regularly has been fabulous.

My work mates, my family and my friends have seen how Xen's influence has lifted my life and improved my habits in small but powerful ways.

Xen provides a series of self-developed, proven structured programs that provide a framework for improving across a number of areas but he also brings flexibility and energy to focus on what is important at the time. That is, as situations pop up, we work on how to approach them productively and positively. He is trustworthy, reliable, uplifting and doesn't beat around the bush.

Xen speaks directly and honestly and brings the best out in his clients. There are a bunch of us who work with Xen and we are all fans. Anyone wanting to build a sense of focus and clarity and be held accountable to improving mindset and skills needs a Xen in their life!

My ongoing 1:1 coaching sessions with Xen have been invaluable in shifting my mindset and driving real breakthroughs in my personal growth and development. As a mentor and sounding board, Xen has helped me approach the next stage of my career with greater clarity and self-belief, challenging me to think differently, let go of self-doubt, and turn belief into action. Without his guidance, I wouldn't have developed the tools and structures that have allowed me to push through mental barriers and continue progressing in my professional career.

Beyond our individual sessions, Xen has also worked with my colleagues at Signate Private Wealth, bringing our team of financial planners together to shift the way we think and work. He delivered an outstanding presentation at our company conference that was both empowering and unifying, bringing every team member together to learn the art of communication, understand the role each person plays within a team, and build on the strengths of those around us. Xen's energy and positivity when presenting keeps you genuinely engaged and motivated to push your own self-belief to the next level.

I continue to work with Xen as my mentor because he plays a pivotal role in my next chapter helping me develop my own personal style so I can be the very best at what I do.

One of the best benefits of merging with Signate Private Wealth was meeting the remarkable Xen Angelides of Thrive Now Coaching.

After 12 months of working with Xen (now known as Zen or Grasshopper to me) I can honestly say that he is an amazingly inspirational coach and mentor both corporately and individually

At the back end of my career (perhaps?) and certainly physically challenged due to a penchant for the good life , Xen has rewired my mindset through his evidenced based teaching and one on one coaching on all of life's career and personal challenges.

His boundless energy , empathy , sense of humour and deep spirituality helped me rethink my future paths and also cut through my long held cynicism about his field.

I encourage you to contact Xen (or Grasshopper if you prefer) and have a chat about individual and corporate programs. He will at the least put a big smile on your face or maybe it will be the start of a business or individual transformation.

Xen loves sport too!

We engaged Xen from a leadership coaching perspective as we felt there was a need to create increased connectivity within our team whilst managing large levels of change.

In addition, we were seeking a practical approach that incorporated strategies for our leaders to manage their own emotions along with implementing tools for them to be more effective leaders and communicators.

Xen’s approach starts from what steps you have in place to commence your day, how to deal with situations throughout your day and then how to close the day to reflect and then ensure that you show up the next day ready to go.

Tools that we have implemented as a business are, starting meetings with breathing techniques to create clarity and purpose, reducing emotion from communication to escalate topics to be factual, looking at change and how we adapt to ensure that change is part of the journey, tools on how to reflect on managing emotions – especially empowering leadership.

We have really appreciated Xen’s energy and passion he has brought to our business.

We meet Xen and immediately knew he could add value to our team. Xen conducted a Leadership Mindset Group Coaching with the entire leadership team over 3 sessions a week apart.

Between sessions Xen dedicated time to all of the participants with individual one on one sessions , bringing to life the learnings discussed at a group
level …but tailoring the messages to each participant.

It goes without saying , once you’ve met Xen – you can't help but be absorbed by his addictive passion, his personal touch , his empathy , and his courage.

I would recommend Xen to anyone personally that is looking for additional support whilst dealing with the busy balance of work/ home / family, but also for any firm that needs an injection of positivity and refocus to be able to both hit team goals and develop stronger teamwork.

Xen, I wanted to thank you and Elynn for your inspiration, energy and passion in which you delivered the leadership training program to us.

Personally I learned some valuable tools and refreshed on a number of key points that I have been applying and even guiding others in.

It was a fantastic program to do as part of a group and brought the team closer together.

You engaged the team with your stories but also getting people to share openly theirs was powerful.

Thank you so much, I hope we get to work with you again in the future.

Xen ... your ability to connect with the group to make us feel you are genuine, was noticeable, we might have been closed off to begin with but your energy opened us up quickly.

It was a great opportunity to get to know the rest of the group with personal content that didn’t feel overly confronting, it felt like it was targeted to allow us to show our colors comfortably.

What I got out of the sessions was more of a review of my current situation, like a circuit breaker or helicopter view for me to think, I’m doing alright but I can definitely make some changes personally and professionally.

The other outcome was feeling more confident and comfortable with the rest of the group, plus realising that we are all very similar, and a group of good people which may have taken a lot longer to work out without these coaching sessions.

I genuinely felt that you care about us as individuals and as a group, so thanks mate, you’re a special human.

I had a extremely positive experience with Xen when completing the Thrive Now Coaching Academy short course spanning over 3 weeks.

I highly recommend to anyone who is feeling resistant to change and wanting to improve the environment that you're living in. The course requires you to be very transparent and honest with yourself, but what you get out of it is truly amazing once you start shifting your focus.

Friends asked me what it was like, and I said it feels like Xen has 6 arms and is just constantly lifting you up and empowering you - weird analogy but made sense to me.
