I won’t hand you the answer. I’ll make you sharper at getting to it.

You can buy advice anywhere. What’s rare is someone who’ll help you do your own best thinking, with no agenda, nothing to sell you next, and who won’t flinch when you finally say out loud the thing you’ve been circling for months.

Plenty of coaching tells you the answer’s already inside you. Sometimes it is. Often it isn’t, and you need someone who’s actually run things, made the hard calls and got some of them wrong. I’ve built and run multi-billion-pound businesses from FTSE exec teams, and I’ve been coached myself since 2020. I know what it changes.

What I coach on

• Thinking strategically. Cutting through the noise to the real choice when everyone around you is adding complexity.
• Landing change that sticks. Getting an organisation to actually move, not just nod in the meeting.
• Getting through a leadership transition. The step up to a bigger role, a new exec team, the first hundred days.
• Working out the next move. When the current one has run its course and you need to think clearly about what’s next.

How I work

Direct, and on your terms. I’ll push, disagree, and play devil’s advocate when it helps, and I’ll keep what you say between us. Usually a standing session every few weeks, in person or by video, for as long as it’s useful and no longer. Most people start with a single conversation to see if it clicks.
