My life's work
Helping people become more successful
I became hooked on helping people become more successful when I taught my first martial arts class a little over 35 years ago.
I love seeing the joy and excitement when someone creates a result they were struggling with, or thought was impossible.
This passion led to a lifelong study that led to the creation of two companies: Certain Change Ltd. in the UK and Tech Leaders Inc. in the US.
Certain Change focuses on delivering executive coaching and training.
Tech Leaders delivers a leadership mastermind programme specifically for the tech sector.
Both companies have clients across the globe.
My Specialities
After 30 years of coaching and training, I have worked with thousands of people, helping them with a wide range of personal and business topics.
But there are two specialities I enjoy most.
1. Self-sabotage
The first is helping people turn off chronic self-sabotage behaviours like imposter syndrome, excessive self-doubt, anxiety, fear of failure, perfectionism and procrastination.Having these is like trying to drive with the brake on.I love seeing the fast turnaround in behaviours this work creates. This a predictable four week process.
2. Leadership Development
My second passion is to help develop leaders, especially business and entrepreneurial leaders.
The leverage and impact they can create through their companies and people means that although I may be working one-on-one, the results are one-to-many.
My Philosophy
I'm direct.
I'm direct for three main reasons.
1. Speed to result - If you have been blocking yourself or want to achieve a result, speed matters.
2. My clients are smart and busy - they need to maximise their time. They don't need fluff.
3. Focus - It keeps every session focused, effective and practical.
I'm a nerd.
I work logically and love evidence.
Even though emotion can confuse things, the human brain works logically using processes tested over millennia.
We do nothing without a reason. Therefore, the reason can always be found.
The coaching (and therapy) world is full of ideas and concepts that sound good but don't produce meaningful results.
As simple as possible.
If you can't understand it, you can't use it.
The third pillar of my philosophy is to make it as simple as possible.
Simple frameworks that create results which you can use again and again.
I love it when a client says, "That makes sense".
Direct, logical and as simple as possible to create the result.
