Coaching & Services

Not advice from a book.
Wisdom from a life
actually lived.

Every service I offer is built on the same foundation — real operational experience, board-level leadership, and a resilience forged in conditions most coaches will never encounter.

My Approach

Why this coaching
is different.

Most coaches learned their frameworks from other coaches, or from business schools. The knowledge is real — but it has never been tested in the conditions that truly reveal a leader's character.

I did not learn resilience in a workshop. I learned it in a prison cell, after losing everything I had spent seven years building. I did not learn operational leadership in a classroom. I lead a manufacturing business from the board today.

That combination — extreme lived adversity plus active executive experience — is what makes the coaching I offer genuinely different from anything else available in the UK market.

No templates
Every engagement is built entirely around your situation. Nothing off the shelf.
Radical honesty
I will tell you what you need to hear, not what you want to hear. That is what real progress requires.
Real accountability
Not a cheerleader. A thinking partner who challenges, tracks, and holds you to the standard you set yourself.
Proven under pressure
The frameworks I share have been tested in conditions far beyond the boardroom. They work when it matters most.

What I Offer

Six ways to work together.

Each service is distinct — but they all draw from the same source. Two decades of real business experience, board-level thinking, and a resilience earned in the hardest possible school.

Leadership Mentoring
01

Leadership Mentoring

For senior leaders & executives

One-to-one mentoring for leaders navigating complexity, transition, or crisis. This is not coaching from a manual. It is direct, honest, challenging mentoring from someone who has led teams under the most extreme conditions and rebuilt a career from zero.

Whether you are stepping into a new role, managing a difficult restructuring, or simply feeling that your leadership has plateaued — this engagement will push you to a clarity you have not reached before.

Business Strategy
02

Business Strategy

Strategic advisory for ambitious businesses

Strategic advisory rooted in real operational experience across Manufacturing, Procurement, Logistics, Investment Planning and board-level decision making. Not theory. Not frameworks borrowed from a textbook. Thinking shaped by twenty years of doing — and tested by failure as much as success.

Particularly valuable for manufacturing, operations and supply chain businesses seeking an independent strategic perspective that understands how the business actually works from the inside.

Resilience Coaching
03

Resilience Coaching

For leaders at breaking point — or rebuilding after crisis

This is the most personal of everything I offer. Built on the framework I developed during the darkest period of my own life — and refined through working with others facing their own walls.

I do not offer platitudes or motivational language. I offer a map through the kind of darkness that most coaches have never personally entered. If you have hit the floor, this is where we start — and where the most profound transformation becomes possible.

Corporate Consulting
04

Corporate Consulting

Board-level advisory for organisations

As an active board-level executive with 20+ years in business leadership, I bring current, real-world experience to organisations that need an independent voice at the top table.

This is not retired executive consulting. I am in the arena today — managing Procurement, Production, Maintenance, Quality, R&D, Logistics and Investment Planning. I understand the pressures you face because I face them myself, right now.

Board Mentoring
05

Board Mentoring

For aspiring board-level executives

For senior leaders who have their sights set on board level — and want to work with someone who has made that journey while navigating extraordinary personal adversity.

Getting to the board is one challenge. Performing there is another. I work with aspiring executives on the thinking, presence, and strategic clarity that boards actually look for — not the polished version, but the real one.

Life Coaching
06

Life Coaching

For individuals at a crossroads

Not everything that imprisons you has bars. Sometimes it is fear. Sometimes it is the story you have been telling yourself for years. Sometimes it is grief, failure, or the paralysis that comes after a life-defining moment.

This coaching is for anyone — not just executives — who is ready to stop surviving and start living with purpose. The process is the same whether you are rebuilding a career, a relationship, a sense of self, or simply trying to understand what you are for.

What You'll Leave With

Not inspiration. Results.

Every session ends with something concrete. Not a feeling — a plan. Not a quote — a next step. Here is exactly what you take away from working with me.

Session Summary

After every session you receive a written summary — key insights, decisions made, and the exact commitments you set for yourself. Nothing lost between sessions.

Personal Action Plan

A structured, bespoke plan built around your situation — not a template. Specific milestones, timelines, and measurable outcomes so you know exactly where you are going.

Between-Session Support

Access to me between sessions for questions, decisions, or moments when clarity matters most. You are not alone between calls — progress does not stop when the session ends.

Tools & Exercises

Practical frameworks, reflection exercises, and resources tailored to your specific challenges — designed to be used independently, so the work continues beyond our time together.

Measurable Progress

We track what matters — not activity, but outcomes. At every stage you know what has shifted, what is next, and what success looks like in concrete terms.

Full Satisfaction Guarantee

If after our first session you do not feel this is right for you, you pay nothing. No questions asked. I would rather you walk away with your investment intact than commit to something that is not the right fit.

Every conversation
starts with 45 minutes.

A discovery call. No pitch. No pressure. You tell me where you are. I tell you honestly whether I can help — and how. That is where every engagement begins.

How It Works

Simple. Honest. No fluff.

01

Discovery Call

45 minutes. You tell me where you are. I tell you whether I can help. No pitch, no pressure. If we are not the right fit, I will tell you that too.

02

Tailored Plan

Built entirely around your situation. No templates. No off-the-shelf programmes. Every engagement is designed from scratch.

03

The Work

Regular sessions combining strategic challenge, honest reflection, and real accountability. This is not comfortable — it is effective.

04

Transformation

Not just better performance. A different leader. One who knows exactly who they are under pressure — and what they are capable of.

Ready to begin

The first step is
a conversation.

Whatever wall you are facing — professional, personal, or somewhere in between — the conversation starts with honesty. Yours and mine.
