You can contact me with questions about

  • Feeling stuck or at a crossroads in your leadership?

  • Are you stepping into a bigger role and want to shape your leadership with confidence?
  • Have you hit a plateau and need to rediscover your energy, focus or edge?
  • Are you managing rapid growth or change and want space to think clearly?
  • Wanting to think more strategically and lead with purpose?

  • Do you spend too much time in the weeds and not enough on vision and strategy?
  • Are you keen to lead beyond your authority and influence at a more senior level?
  • Do you want to explore your leadership legacy or how to have broader impact?
  • Needing to decompress and refocus?

  • Are competing demands leaving you overwhelmed or reactive?
  • Would you benefit from structured thinking time to gain perspective and clarity?
  • Do you need a confidential sounding board who understands the pressures of leadership?
  • Curious about how you come across to others?

  • Are you looking to enhance your emotional intelligence or interpersonal impact?
  • Would you like to work with feedback (360 or informal) to grow in self-awareness?
  • Do you want to communicate more effectively with your board, team or peers?
  • Looking to develop others while stepping back?

  • Are you finding it hard to let go and let others lead?
  • Would you like to empower your senior team without compromising your standards?
  • Are you transitioning from a hands-on / technical role to more of a strategic or board position?

THIS IS HOW I WORK

My approach is psychologically grounded, practical, and tailored to the real-world challenges of senior leadership. I create a warm and confidential space where you can think clearly, be challenged supportively, and reconnect with your sense of purpose.

I bring curiosity and calm 

Clients often tell me they feel seen, heard and thought about in a different way. I listen carefully—not just to what you say, but to what sits underneath it. I bring curiosity, care and candour to help you explore what’s going on with insight and clarity.

We’ll work with both strategy and psychology

I integrate coaching psychology, leadership theory and lived experience of senior leadership. That means we can explore your mindset, motivation and decision-making—as well as the organizational dynamics around you. We’ll go as deep as you’re ready for, and always stay connected to what’s useful in your day-to-day leadership. 

You’ll get both support and stretch 

This isn’t cozy chat. I’ll ask questions that make you think differently, test assumptions, and stretch your self-awareness. But I’ll also give you the encouragement and structure to help you work things through and apply them with confidence. 

We’ll use the tools that best support your thinking 

Depending on what you’re working on, we might bring in psychometrics, leadership models, or structured exercises drawn from coaching psychology. Or we might keep things simple and conversational. Together, we’ll find the approach that supports your clarity, growth and confidence.

What others say about me

"Gary emanates warmth, compassion and connection as a coach. He poses thoughtful and perfectly framed questions which expand your thinking and enable you to explore things deeply. Gary was so attuned to me and my individual nuances that he enabled me to do some very deep and profound work. Alongside all of this Gary has a proven track record as a leader across many different sectors. He skilfully brings this knowledge into the coaching session without being directive, and creates the space in a professional, but relaxed and caring way." - client of Gary.

"As a coach, Gary creates a rich and supportive environment with huge positivity. He combines this with succinct powerful questions. Being coached by Gary was an amazing experience and felt like a masterclass, our conversations were very natural and easy but at the same time carried enough challenge to create change. I count myself lucky to have been coached by Gary." - client of Gary.

"Gary is sunshine and smarts in equal measure. The warmth of the sun and the steely directness that I have found invaluable when you are always navigating new angles of who you are as a person and how you can do better, know better and be better. Gary has an arsenal of learning models at his fingertips and has the ability to put people at ease even when they are being challenged - making the uncomfortable conversations prime places for growth is a wonderful skill and Gary is a force for good." - client of Gary.

"Working with Gary has fundamentally changed the way I approach my job, how I manage my teams and reignited ambition and commitment within me. The sessions with Gary felt like a complete investment in me from both a professional and personal perspective and I believe it was Gary’s skilful handling of where the professional and the personal interact that resulted in the work we did being so transformative.
The sessions were carefully planned, well-paced and provided enough support for me to be brave, but enough challenge to embrace risk and uncertainty. The relationship Gary provided was at the heart of this work; in short, he provided a professional relationship that allowed me to grow which will have wide ranging positive impacts for my organisation, but also for my future career. I can honestly say that this was the best piece of professional development of my career." - client of Gary.

"It’s not very often you meet someone in the real world with superpowers, but Gary is one of them! His ability to listen, understand and reflect on complex challenges and utilise inquisitive questioning to help find a suitable solution is exceptional.
I have genuinely benefitted from Gary’s passion for development in my own career and always found our interactions insightful and useful. He possesses a unique skill of challenging with decorum which has helped in my career no end. See, superpowers!" - client of Gary.

"Gary brings a joyful enthusiasm, vast knowledge and impressive experience and expertise to his coaching, which meant that the sessions were interesting, challenging, and positive all at once. I always felt that we were working on the agenda we set at the start of the sessions but were not beholden to it, leading to personal growth, greater self-assurance and an enjoyment of the sessions

that I had not anticipated. Gary is a fabulous coach and I highly recommend him!" - client of Gary.

"I am more focussed and intentional in my work. I am much better at delegating. I have higher expectations of myself and others.
Gary really helped me be insightful about my own work and professional life. If I asked he would provide his own insights or reference theory but, primarily, he helped me find uncover my own solutions. He would never let me off the hook! If I mentioned or hinted at something that was making me uncomfortable or doubtful Gary would make certain we explored it fully - which was excellent and just what I needed." - client of Gary.
