Become a leader worth following.

We coach leaders and their teams through practical pathways to build clarity, courage, and cultures that last.

Clarity is the soil.
Leadership is the fruit.

A former educator turned executive coach, James blends the warmth of a teacher with the precision of a strategist. His approach integrates the 5 Voices Framework, Altitude Leadership Training, and the Sweet Spot Model. Practical tools that help leaders rediscover who they are, how they’re wired, and where they do their best work.

He has a quiet way of making clarity feel possible again. The kind that steadies anxious leaders, untangles team tension, and brings focus back to what truly matters. His gift is seeing beneath the surface noticing the gaps between vision and behaviour, influence and trust, and guiding people to realign themselves with grace and courage.

He believes leadership isn’t about titles or power. It’s about wholeness, leading from identity, not image. That’s why his work so often begins with stillness: an honest look at the soil before trying to grow new fruit. At the heart of it all, James helps leaders grow something that endures - trust, courage, and clarity - something that multiplies through every person they lead.

The Coaching Pathway

We offer a range of coaching and workshop options providing contextually responsive and flexible support for both individuals and teams.

Coaching Pathways

  • I have been surprised at how rewarding this focus can be if you are willing to fully embrace and commit to the work that is needed.

    Dave, Community Church Pastor

  • 'It has been eye opening to who I am and what I do. It has changed the way I work and helped me in my relationships. James has been good at realising my defence mechanisms of deflecting, (I have not had someone call me out on this in 20 years)...'

    Pete, Minister (Gadebridge Baptist Church)

  • 'Coaching should be a way of running an organisation. This was a very positive experience!'

    Jamie, Deputy Head (Beechwood Park Independent Prep School)

  • I started as a sceptic not sure if I would get much out of the experience, but I was wrong and found it too be very rewarding and worthwhile. I would highly recommend that you try it!

    Dave, Pastor (Hemel Hempstead Community Church)

  • Gave me a quote about being 'the man in the arena' and not letting the critic have any impact on what I am trying to do was great. He's helped me believe that I have to try and try again and the trying is the most important part. I have been trying and am actually starting to see the results.

    Fin (Student 12 years old)

  • '...I have been able to take points away to reflect and actions to put into practice. Ultimately my work is improving and I feel I am working in a better place than I was before we started.'

    Pete, (Gadebridge Baptist Church)

  • 'Thank you, James, I found the sessions challenging and yet rewarding at the same time.'

    Steve, Director of Studies (Aldwickbury Independent Prep school)

  • My son has benefited hugely from the sessions. He felt he could be open and honest and he looked forward to them. We feel blessed that our son was given the support and encouragement to navigate a tough year and hope he can continue to use the tools he’s been given by you.

    Lyndsey (Parent of 12 year old Son)

  • 'It’s been a great opportunity to encourage me to explore & reflect on myself, something I would never have done without your input, guidance & support.'

    Laura, Head of Dance and Drama (Beechwood Park Independent Prep School)

  • My son feels more understood and is starting to understand himself better, along with his challenges and how to start dealing with them.

    Fiona ( Parent of 12 year son)

  • James has a remarkable ability to help you identify your strengths and natural inclinations and understand how these traits influence your performance and decision-making. His guidance gave me invaluable insight into how my self-awareness could be used to tackle challenges more effectively and grow in my professional role.

    Natasha (Teacher, Aldwickbury School)
