I turn people ON. I’m James — a strengths-based coach, entrepreneur, and former exec. I bring real-world leadership, lived experience, and radical honesty to every coaching conversation. I work with professionals, leaders, and creatives who are done ticking boxes and ready to build something that actually fits — personally and professionally.

Working with James was genuinely transformative. I’ve worked on my resume over the years and never really known how to make it really impactful.

After leaving my full-time job in 2021, I was all over the place, applying for any job I could find, but not getting many interviews.

James has pinpointed a way for me to get unstuck and make the life decisions I was previously horrified with - I’ve been clouded by choice when all I needed was a method and an action plan.

Over the last year and a bit that I've been working with James, he has been nothing but amazing. He is my first mentor/coach, and has always been supportive, encouraging and enthusiastic throughout this journey.

I turn people ON. It's supporting people to be the very best version of themselves that drives me. It's also the most rewarding thing I have ever done! As an Accredited Strengths Profile Practitioner, Performance Coach, and Talent Consultant, I support organisations and individuals in unlocking their hidden potential to increase engagement, performance and happiness.
After 25 years of corporate and entrepreneurship, I became a full-time Coach. I have supported entrepreneurs to grow their businesses and have had three of my own. Coaching is my third career, and I love it.
