This service is for CEOs with serious responsibilities and limited room for error. You’re not looking for motivation. You’re looking for clarity, challenge, and trusted support.
Typical scenarios:
Practical support for CEOs leading through pressure, change, or complexity
Practical support for CEOs leading through pressure, change, or complexity
Most CEOs don’t need coaching. They need space to think. Someone to talk to who understands the responsibility, the scrutiny, and the weight of making hard calls with incomplete information.
This is not traditional coaching. There’s no generic framework, no mindset toolbox, and no theoretical exercises. It’s just you and me, working through what matters most, with a clear focus on execution, leadership, and performance.
When it Helps
You’ve stepped into a CEO role and need to steady the ship without disrupting what works
You’re dealing with investor pressure, team drift, or a plan that’s not landing
You’re leading a business through restructuring, underperformance, or a transaction
You’re managing a capable exec team, but don’t have a sounding board you fully trust
What You Get
Each conversation is grounded in your real situation. No slides. No theory. Just practical support designed to help you lead with focus and clarity. Expect:
Straight, confidential conversation with someone who understands operational pressure
Rebuild operational rhythm and restore grip
A calm sounding board for testing strategy, team changes, or messaging
Honest feedback on blind spots or drift
Consistency that keeps you clear, steady, and ahead of events
How it Works
I run this personally. I only take on two or three CEOs at any one time.
Some prefer a weekly rhythm. Others use it as needed during moments of pressure. We agree what’s useful for you, not what fits a programme.
I’m not here to coach you into becoming someone else. I’m here to back the CEO you already are, especially when the pressure is building or the path forward feels murky.
Who It's For
You’re already in the role. You don’t need help getting there. You need support navigating it.
Most—but not all—of the CEOs I work with lead mid-market, private equity-backed businesses where results matter, scrutiny is high, and time is tight. Others are founder-CEOs carrying full accountability, often in unfamiliar or shifting territory.
If you’re a CEO under pressure, or a Chair, NED, or investor looking for a way to support your CEO without destabilising the team, this offers grounded, one-to-one backing from someone who’s sat in the seat and understands what’s at stake.
All support is confidential, practical, and designed to reinforce—not disrupt—the leadership already in place.
