Executive Coaching Services

Executive coaching for leaders working through something that matters.

A difficult decision. A transition. A relationship that isn’t working. A change you’re trying to lead. Or something about your own leadership that you know needs attention. Whatever brought you here, this is a place to think it through, challenge your assumptions and work out what you want to do next.

I’ve spent more than 30 years working with leaders and organisations, as a leader myself, an executive coach and a facilitator, across more than 40 countries. I’ve been an ICF PCC executive coach for over 15 years and, through nearly two decades on the faculty of European business schools, have worked with thousands of leaders. I bring that experience to the conversation, but the work stays firmly centred on you, your situation and what will make a difference.

How it works

Coaching happens one-to-one, remotely, in sessions of ninety minutes. Between sessions, you can reach me by email if something needs a quick thought before we next meet. I do not send written summaries afterwards. You decide what matters, what you take forward and what you want to return to next time. You own the work.

There are two ways to work with me, and a third option if you want more than conversation.

Frequently asked questions

How do I know which programme is right for me?
That is exactly what the initial call is for. In most cases, it comes down to whether you are working through something specific and time-bound, or a longer stretch that needs sustained attention. We work out which fits on the call, not before it.

What happens on the introductory call?
We talk about what you are working through, I ask enough questions to understand the shape of it, and we work out together whether coaching is the right response and, if so, which programme makes most sense. If I do not think coaching is the right fit, I will say so.

How do I pay?
We start with the initial call. If we agree to go ahead, I raise an invoice for the programme, payable before we start. If your organisation is paying, I can invoice them directly.

Is what we discuss confidential?
Yes. What you bring to coaching stays between us, in line with the International Coaching Federation’s Code of Ethics, which I work to. If your organisation is sponsoring the coaching, we will agree from the outset what, if anything, is shared with them. The content of our coaching conversations remains confidential.

Who is this not right for?
If you are looking for training, a fixed curriculum, or someone to hand you a ready-made answer, this will not be a good fit. Coaching works when you are willing to think something through with someone, test your assumptions and take responsibility for what you do next.

Do you coach in person or only remotely?
Principally remotely, by video call using Teams, Zoom or Google Meet. I have worked this way for over twenty years, with leaders across more than forty countries, so it is not a fallback option for me: it is how I coach. I can work in person where it makes sense, but we would need to discuss location, availability and investment.

Can I book if I am in a different time zone?
Yes. I work with leaders internationally and can usually find a time that works across time zones. We can sort out the practicalities when we arrange the initial call.

What if I need to reschedule a session?
I understand that senior roles can be unpredictable. If something changes, let me know as early as you can, and we will find another time.

Can I bring you in to coach several of our leaders?
Yes. I work with organisations as well as individual leaders. If you are considering coaching for several people, we can discuss the context, what you want the coaching to support, and how we maintain appropriate boundaries between the organisation, each individual leader and me as coach. Set up an initial call and we can explore what would make most sense.
