Hi, I'm James, nice to meet you! :-D
In my own career I received a lot of Executive / Business / Career Coaching and 8 years ago the penny dropped and I realised that coaching is the thing that I am naturally good at. Until that point, I'd been relentlessly on a hunt to 'figure out what I am good at so that I can do it for the benefit of others'.

What do you love most about your job?
The uncertainty of every session! I never know where we'll end up when the 1 or 2 hours have passed and I LOVE that.
I don't have all the answers! I have a process and a lot of skill at helping the answers to emerge.
What inspired you to start your own business?
In every job I had I didn't stop thinking about work when 5pm came around, I always kept trying to figure things out, you don't get paid for that.
Also, I love owning my own time! That's worth so much to me especially if one of my kids is unwell for example.
Why should our clients choose you?
I am good at what I do —understanding people and reflecting it back in an empowering way.
It's important that you find the right person for you, you should receive value after every session! I do come across people that I don't work well with, it does happen but it's rare.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
Yes.
I prefer to meet in person in Bristol, UK and I will occasionally travel to London etc.
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
As I usually meet outside or online fortunately I have not had to change much.
Career Coaching
I've had many careers. I just kept trying stuff until I found work that worked for me. That started over 15 years ago and was a rollercoaster. The thing is it doesn't need to take you as long and nor do you need to have the big failures that I did.
I've learnt a lot about how to figure out what's right for someone workwise. Use me to help you get to the right thing quicker.
Not only will you find or create work that is more meaningful for you you'll also improve your habits, confidence levels and sense of who you are and why that's worth celebrating.
Founder Coaching
I work with Entrepreneurs and have done for over 7 years.
I love how rapidly things change in the life of a business founder, it's never dull.
I help founders get the space, support and objectivity needed to create a new vision or strategy or make a big decision.
Everything from deligating and recruitment to 5+ year vision to dealing with burnout, poor sleep, or conflict with stakeholders. Whatever it is that's stopping you from performing at your best... I'm like a heat-seeking missile, we'll find it and unlock it.
If you're anything like my other clients you'll finish every session in a better place, usually feeling refreshed, clear and more motivated.
Spiritual Coaching
Who knows what this actually means...
I've been into meditation, yoga and philosophy for over 20 years. I'd add Rock Climbing too which for me is like a moving meditation.
Whether you've just read The Power of Now and it's blown your head off. Or, you agree that "There's no such thing as good or bad but thinking makes it so" or "It's no measure of a person to be well adjusted to a sick society"...
If you are looking for a partner that you can explore yourself and non-self with. Or, if you want to reconcile your absolute life while keeping your relative life 'in mind' then let's see if I can help...
