Coaching That Turns Expertise Into Leadership.
1:1 executive coaching for technical professionals and founders navigating the transitions that matter most. Built on real sector experience. Focused on identity, influence, and performance.
I coached leaders at:

18+ years in the energy sector. BP, RWE, Bouygues. Billion-pound projects. Site to boardroom. I've navigated the transitions I coach and I know what generic leadership advice costs you at this level.
WHAT MAKES THIS DIFFERENT.
Not your standard executive coaching.
Most executive coaching is delivered by people who've never held the roles they're coaching you through. The frameworks are solid. The sector understanding is surface-level at best.
This is different. Every engagement is grounded in direct experience of the energy sector, technically complex organisations, and the specific pressure points that come with leading at mid to senior level. You won't spend sessions explaining your context. We get straight to work.
Every Engagement Starts With a Transition.
The trigger is different for everyone. But the underlying challenge is usually the same. Who you've been is no longer enough for where you're going.
I work with leaders at five critical inflection points:
Stuck and can't articulate why.
Strong track record. Good relationships. But something has stalled and the path forward isn't clear. We find it.
Being passed over and you know it.
The promotions are going elsewhere. The feedback is vague. The frustration is real. We identify what's actually happening and fix it.
Outgrown your current role.
You've gone as far as this position will take you. The question is what's next and how to get there with intention rather than luck.
In the new role, struggling to land.
The title changed but the identity hasn't caught up yet. We close that gap before it becomes a reputation.
Founder to CEO.
You built something. Now you need to lead it at scale , with a board, a senior team, and a business that's bigger than you can personally carry.
Who This Is For.
MID-MANAGERS READY TO BREAK THROUGH

The Engagement.
Coaching starts with a 90-minute diagnostic session, no agenda, no framework, just an honest conversation about where you are, where you want to be, and what's standing between the two.
From there, engagements run on a minimum three-month programme with sessions fortnightly. Retainer and six-month options are available for leaders who want sustained support through longer transitions.
Everything is 1:1, fully confidential, and built around your specific context. No homework packs. No generic workbooks. Just focused, direct coaching from someone who has been where you are.
