About Adam

I'm an executive coach with a decade of senior leadership experience across people, operations and organisational strategy. Before starting my coaching practice, I served as Director of Operations & People, leading teams through growth, complexity and organisational change. I continue to support governance and strategic oversight as a Trustee at a leading education charity.

My coaching draws on a diverse career: navigating real operational pressure, shaping culture, guiding leaders through difficult decisions and developing teams in fast-moving environments. Alongside my leadership career, I have built a parallel path in high-performance outdoor coaching, holding the top international ski instruction qualification and spending years coaching in environments where clarity, judgement and skill matter in real-time.

What connects these experiences is a consistent thread: helping leaders understand their context, make better decisions and lead with confidence. I work with leaders, founders and teams who want clarity, perspective and practical progress.

What I believe - My guiding principles

I believe clarity of vision accelerates performance

I believe development isn’t about changing who you are - it’s about using who you are with intention

Control slows it down.
Change moves faster when we understand the direction, not just the instruction

I believe development isn’t about changing who you are - it’s about using who you are with intention

When leaders understand their own patterns, decisions come easier and impact comes sooner

I believe leadership is a practice, not a position

I believe development isn’t about changing who you are - it’s about using who you are with intention

I believe leaders make better decisions when they understand the context, not the loudest signals

Capability grows when awareness and deliberate choices become part of how leaders operate every day

I believe leaders make better decisions when they understand the context, not the loudest signals

Most problems are solved upstream of the decision itself

I believe capability grows when challenge and support are balanced at the right moments

I believe leaders make better decisions when they understand the context, not the loudest signals

I believe capability grows when challenge and support are balanced at the right moments

This is where confidence, resilience and higher performance emerge

I believe awareness beats experience when conditions change

I believe leaders make better decisions when they understand the context, not the loudest signals

I believe capability grows when challenge and support are balanced at the right moments

Leaders who notice early adapt quicker, stay composed longer, and protect momentum

I believe perspective is a performance skill - and it can be developed

It turns pressure into clarity, and clarity into better outcomes for people and the organisation

I believe conversations shape performance

I believe perspective is a performance skill - and it can be developed

Alignment, trust and pace start with how leaders communicate — not just what they communicate
