Coaching for leaders navigating complexity, change & growth

Strategy and direction, building the leadership team, boards and investors, and leading through uncertainty, fundraising and growth.

Stepping up, letting go, influence without authority, and the feedback and difficult conversations that senior roles run on.

Self-awareness, confidence, decision-making under uncertainty, and sustaining yourself, your health and your relationships.

One-to-one coaching for founders, CEOs and senior executives. A free chemistry call first, then an initial package of six sessions.

Specialist coaching for CTOs and senior engineering leaders making the shift from expert to executive.

Customised, confidential feedback from the people around you, synthesised with the help of AI and overlaid with my own judgement.

I came to Richard feeling trapped – not by a lack of performance, but by a bigger question: how do I scale my impact and develop the strategic thinking needed for C-level leadership while my organisation was rapidly growing? Richard didn’t give me all the answers; he asked the questions that forced me to confront the root causes. At the most senior levels, frameworks aren’t the solution. You are.

Already a highly experienced CTO, CIO and Digital Transformation Director, I approached Richard to help me prepare for and navigate the next stage of my senior executive career leading an end-to-end business. Richard gave me the time and space to come out of the detail, come back to the 'most important things' and gain clarity on my own thinking and next steps.

My executive coaching sessions challenge me to build my own capabilities for solving both strategic and day-to-day problems. Richard has an innate ability to ask the right questions at the right times. Richard’s empathy and humour create an environment where you feel comfortable being vulnerable and self-aware.

“I came away feeling confident, informed and equipped with a clear approach for integrating AI into my practice in a way that enhances, rather than replaces, the coaching relationship.”
