EXECUTIVE CAreer COACH
Continued success without sacrificing what matters.
I help senior leaders overcome the challenges affecting their careers and lives, so they can continue succeeding without sacrificing what matters most.

You’ve built a successful career.
But something isn’t working.
Real situations that have brought senior leaders to coaching.
Work was taking over their life.
Increasing demands and expectations were taking all their time and energy, with their loved ones getting what was left. And that wasn’t enough.
Their career had stalled.
They were delivering results, working longer hours and doing more than expected, but didn’t understand why they were being overlooked for the opportunities they wanted.
They were questioning their future.
Reorganisation, cost cutting or other events outside their control left them feeling they needed to make a change, but they didn’t know what that change should be. With so much at risk, changing anything felt terrifying.
What could be different?
There’s no single answer. What matters is finding the right way forward for you.
01 / RISE
Change how you lead, increase your strategic impact and build the influence and relationships needed to become the Leader of Choice.
02/ REBALANCE
Change how you work and lead, so your career no longer takes the time and energy you want for yourself and the people who matter most.
03/ REBOOT
Explore what’s no longer working, discover what you want instead and make changes without unnecessarily risking everything you’ve built.
Why I do what I do.
“Why are you always such a grumpy dad?”
Outwardly I was a successful Global Senior Director at Credit Suisse, but internally I was restless because I wanted to do something else, but didn’t know what.
Day and night, I would think about doing something else but changing anything felt terrifying. So, I stayed put.
Every day I would bring work stress home with me and guilt back to work with me.
Until one evening, my young daughter angrily asked, “Why are you always such a grumpy dad?”
That was the moment I realised something had to change. But I couldn’t see how.
Eventually, I sought confidential help. That wasn’t easy for someone used to solving problems themselves.
It changed my career and, more importantly, how I lived my life.
That experience led me to become an executive coach.
Today, I combine 25 years of corporate experience with eight years of professional coaching to help senior leaders overcome their own career challenges and create the career and life they want now.


“Nick helped change my life….He opened my eyes to alternatives I didn’t think possible and with his support I changed my professional direction in ways I could not have imagined. His insight and probing style enabled me to take the leap of faith I needed to help me see a brighter and happier future.”

My coaching is bespoke, confidential and one-to-one.
01

Book yourself a 45-minute confidential conversation.

Confidential Conversation
We talk through where you are and what you want to change. By the end, we’ll both know if I’m the right coach for you.

If we are right for each other, I’ll walk you through how we will work together.
If we agree that working together would be valuable, we’ll decide how to move forward.
