About

I’m interested in what happens to people around leaders.

I've spent more than ten years coaching and developing people and leaders. And the thing that has kept me interested isn't leadership theory. It's people.

I’ve seen incredibly talented people shrink around the wrong leader.

I’ve seen other leaders spot something in someone, challenge them, back them and completely change the direction of their career.

I’ve experienced both myself. That’s why I care about this.

I believe most people want to do well and most people are capable of more. Leadership has an enormous influence over whether we ever get to see it.

that’s the whole thing, really

How I work

I’m curious. I listen. I ask questions. But I’m also a normal human being with opinions.

If something you’ve said doesn’t quite add up, I’ll probably ask about it. If I think you’re avoiding something, we might go there. If something is crap, I’m not going to spend ten minutes finding a more coach-like word for it.

That doesn’t mean challenge for the sake of challenge. The best challenge comes with care.

You should know I’m in your corner, even when I’m telling you something you might not particularly want to hear. That’s the relationship I’m trying to create.
