Leadership performance is defined by vision, achievement and influence.

My coaching helps leaders improve the way they think, communicate and operate. This enables leaders to elevate their impact and results while fostering strong, capable teams that don’t rely solely on their direct involvement.

I work with

Leaders making decisions that shape people, performance or direction.
Those navigating growth, pressure and constant context shifts.
Teams who need clearer conversations, stronger alignment and better collaboration.

I do this through

One-to-one executive coaching
Focused, practical coaching that builds clarity of vision, better decision-making and higher performance.
Leadership team coaching
Strengthening alignment, communication and collective performance across senior teams.
Experiential leadership retreats
High-impact offsites that blend leadership coaching with real challenge, perspective and performance environments outdoors.

Why I Do This Work

My career hasn’t followed a straight line. I’ve spent years leading people and operations in SMEs, guiding organisations through growth, restructuring and moments where decisions carried weight. I’ve also spent years working in the mountains — coaching performance, reading changing conditions and helping people stay composed when the environment shifts.

Those experiences shaped how I think about leadership:
it’s practical, behavioural, and built through the decisions you make under pressure.

Today, I bring those worlds together — executive coaching, operational leadership and experiential learning, to help leaders think more effectively, communicate more confidently and perform at a higher level.

How I do this

I believe clarity accelerates performance.
Teams and decisions move faster when direction is understood, not assumed.

I believe leadership is a practice, not a position.
Progress comes from deliberate awareness and better choices, not job titles.

I believe perspective is a performance skill.
When leaders see a situation clearly, decisions follow more naturally.

Which means

How I do this

We work on real challenges, not hypotheticals.

Because reality is where you are operating.

Reflection leads to action, not delay.

Higher clarity and understanding speeds up quality.

Coaching sessions sometimes step outdoors — where perspective shifts naturally.

I use the outdoors as a tool, not a gimmick, to accelerate change.
