I use these skills, within a pragmatic approach based on his many years of commercial and leadership experience in international blue-chip organisations. I  help business leaders and managers unlock their true potential, turning challenges into opportunities through building their self-awareness, focussing on their strengths and working together with practical steps in their career and personal development.

I have worked in many different countries and environments, ranging from the earliest emerging markets to the more sophisticated mature markets, managing and leading teams from diverse functional and ethnic backgrounds. This enables me to actively engage with everybody and to help individuals identify their key challenges and seize their opportunities.

In addition to coaching  I am involved with several other initiatives. I am a Skills Coach at Manchester Metropolitan University supporting their Senior Leader and MBA programmes; a founding partner in a new photo sharing app; I have  continued my commercial consulting projects in a number NED roles; am a Chairman of a secondary school Parent Society; am a Manchester University Alumni Gold Mentor; and I work with Career Ready, a national social mobility charity helping young people kick start their careers.

By really understanding my clients through his active listening, I create a solution focused coaching and mentoring approach.

I am a Member of the Association of Coaching and undertake regular supervised sessions with the British School of Coaching, following the ethics and code of Practise of the British School of Coaching.
