Every great performer, whether an elite athlete, business legend or performing superstar, is surrounded by coaches and advisors.

Why? Because it is difficult to focus on staying on top of your game while you are surrounded by everyday distractions. It is also really difficult to get a truly objective answer from yourself. Don't get me wrong, you can survive in business without the help of a Coach, but it's almost impossible to thrive...

As your coach I can help you...

...See the forest for the trees, focus on the game not the distractions and run more laps than you thought you could.
 

I will also promise to...

...Tell it like it is, give you pointers to move you on quicker and most of all - Listen.

So, give me a call and we can get together over a cup of coffee to see if coaching is for you too.  

And if we might be going to work together here are 8 things you perhaps should know about me:

1. I have coached businesses in over 50 sectors including Retail, Manufacturing, Children’s Nurseries, Recruitment, IT Support, Warehousing and many more. My client testimonials report considerable successes including increasing profits, reducing working hours and building productive teams.

2. My extensive experience gives me access to pragmatic and practical business solutions. My coaching is based on over 30 years of business experience in a variety of roles including Civil Engineer, IT Manager, Programme Manager, and Change Management Consultant as well as owning and managing my own businesses.
   

3. I understand what is needed to deliver lasting change and bottom line improvements in any type of organisation. My experience includes delivering multi-million pound mission critical projects and leading organisation wide change programmes at Chief Exec and Director level in a £1billion turn-over organisation employing over 13,000 people.
   

4. What I deliver isn’t just theory. In my experience the greatest success comes though developing and motivating people - nothing gets done unless someone is motivated to do it and I have spent my working life studying how to motivate people. I have managed teams of 100+ and in an external bench-marking exercise one of my business units was independently judged to be in the top 5% in the world..
   

5. My coaching is based on the very latest thinking and practice. I have a love of learning with a first class honours degree in Systems, an Advanced Professional Diploma in New Business Planning and a Post Graduate Diploma in Coaching Psychology from Leeds Met University. I am also a certified NLP Practitioner.
   

6. I am Yorkshire born & bred and I live with my wife and three teenage children in Wakefield. I love sport especially martial arts and skiing and I am also a registered Tai Chi teacher.
   

7. In the past my professional success came at the expense of a balanced life and my family and health suffered so I can empathise with many of the over-worked, over-stressed business owners and managers I now work with.
   

8. My belief now is that if you are not having fun you are probably doing it wrong. Life is too short to waste it and I love helping business owners and managers get what they deserve from their business and life.
