The Power of Coaching

With over 20 years of experience coaching and managing executive careers worldwide,
I have learned one fundamental truth: the answers you seek often already lie within you.
The challenge? Unlocking them from the subconscious.

coaching makes the difference

In a confidential, non-judgmental space, I’ll help you find clarity through thoughtful reflection. Together, we’ll explore what truly matters to you, aligning your goals with your values and creating a sustainable plan to achieve them. Through tools honed by years of training and experience, I’ll guide you to:

  • Access your inner wisdom
  • Define clear objectives for every area of your life
  • Build habits and behaviours that ensure lasting success

From setting meaningful goals to tracking your progress, you’ll not only see results during our sessions but carry them forward into your life beyond coaching.

Let’s delve beneath the surface and unlock your potential.

Minimal Mentoring

My coaching philosophy is rooted in what I call the 99/1 rule:
99% of the answers come from within you, & 1% might involve gentle guidance when necessary.

Coaching, Not Mentorship

Most of our work will involve exploring your goals, barriers, and aspirations together. I’ll ask the right questions at the right time to help you gain clarity.

On rare occasions, if you reach a significant roadblock, I may offer a suggestion or perspective—but only with your permission. This is coaching, not a mentor program. My role is to empower you, not prescribe solutions.

Whether you’re seeking clarity in your career, personal balance, or wellness, I’ll provide a supportive and reflective space to help you uncover what truly matters to you.

James has been an invaluable listener, offering guidance that has shaped not only my career but my personal life as well. His approach is subtle yet impactful - through our conversations, I found clarity in areas I hadn’t even considered before. What stood out most was recognizing the gap between what I thought I wanted and what truly mattered to me. There’s still work to do, but the direction is now clear.

A trusted colleague recommended James, and I’m grateful they did. I initially had no expectations, but from our first session, it became clear that this wasn’t about receiving advice - it was about uncovering insights I already had but hadn’t acknowledged. Taking the time to step back and reflect with the right guidance has helped me realign my goals. Surprisingly, rather than adding more, the most powerful shift was letting go of commitments and relationships that no longer served me.

James has a remarkable ability to help you find answers without imposing his own perspective. Our conversations led me to an unexpected realization: I had been prioritizing the wrong things. In pursuit of professional success, I was neglecting what truly brought me happiness. Adjusting my focus has not only improved my personal life but also made me more effective at work. I’ve learned to step back, stress less, and as a result, the people around me have responded positively too.

The first two sessions with James were simply about laying everything out - where I was, what I felt, and what I needed to change. That process alone was incredibly powerful. It wasn’t about receiving instructions or advice; it was about having the space to reflect. Now, after six sessions, I have a clear plan and feel more focused than ever. I’m pausing coaching to work on these goals but will return when the time is right for the next stage of growth.

I’ve known James for years in a professional capacity but never considered coaching until recently. His ability to direct conversations in a way that leads to real breakthroughs has been impressive. I am now closer than ever to achieving a personal goal I had struggled with for years. The structured approach to tracking progress and staying accountable to myself has made all the difference.
