About
Excellence, fulfilling potential and greatness have always driven me, however one thing I have always been obsessed with is legacy. We may not live on, but our legacy, lives for eternity.
I am a former professional sportsman that has experienced the highs and lows that life has in store.
My life has been a journey of defying the odds and chasing greatness. From humble beginnings, I have always been driven by two things: excellence and legacy. Through multiple experiences and years I have crossed paths with some incredible people and been lucky to see some amazing things. Nothing in my life was ever given to me, I have had to work for everything. Overcoming challenges and obstacles have become a way of life for me and I was faced with arguably the biggest challenge of my life a couple of years ago. This changed the course of my life and curtailed a career I worked to excel in for over two decades.
These events in turn have accelerated my pursuit of a career and way of life that has not only fascinated me but also one that I have been incredibly passionate about. My departure from cricket has led to me discovering my true calling and enter the world of coaching. My life has been centered around elite performance and maximising potential while overcoming the limitations that others feel they can set upon us. It gives me incredible satisfaction and pleasure seeing others grow into the people they have always wanted to be. As a life coach, I use all of my personal experiences, lessons I have learnt from the best in the world and unrelenting passion to help transform the lives of my clients.
In my life, I have been lucky enough to have a career I love, great family relationships and happiness as well as the opportunity to travel the world and meet incredible people. With the highs however, come the lows, economic difficulties, bereavement, doubters, discrimination and so much more. These things can make or break you, I have always seen them as a chance to make me.
Legacy has always fascinated me. Creating something that lives on when we no longer do, to me, that is success.
I am a coach with a passion for bringing the best out of individuals and achieving excellence. Having experienced the highs and lows of life, I am determined to share my experiences and learning to accelerate the success of my clients. I have always seen limitations and challenges as opportunities and despite the magnitude of this occasion, this certainly has been no different. Pursuing my true passion and calling in life, I am now a life coach based in Derby that will help you go to the next level in every aspect and transform your life.
Obstacles were created to be overcome, records made to be broken and life here to be lived. I have never allowed limitations to hold me back, instead to drive me to achieve my goals. I have always believed that no one person is more gifted, talented or destined for success than another. Success like happiness is a choice. There are no shortcuts to success, no secrets, no magic formula. Hard work, dedication, determination, mindset and relentlessness combined with immense (strategic) action creates success. There is no right time but this moment in time, your past cannot be changed, your future cannot be planned but your present will shape your future.
Familiar with high performance, performing under pressure, work/ life balance and elite environments, I am perfectly placed to not only help you but also challenge and inspire you to make the life you always dreamed of a reality.
I've always had a passion to not only help people but to help them transform their lives and maximise their potential. I love to push the boundaries of potential, challenge the status quo and break imaginary limitations other people set for us.
I not only challenge the mindset of my clients, I help to transform it. Given my background in elite sport, I am fully aware of the mental toughness, resilience and ruthlessness required to succeed. Through my experiences and knowledge, I help clients remove their limiting beliefs and mental blocks to set them free. Not only will I help you change the way you think, I will also challenge your perception. In life, 10% is what happens to you, 90% is how you perceive/ see it. With this renewed perspective, you will see the world in a way you never thought possible, unlocking a world of endless possibility and opportunity.
Understanding the importance of self-confidence and mindset through my background as a professional sportsman, I work with my clients to unlock their potential.
Through my holistic approach to life coaching, I appreciate the importance of a well-balanced life. With my clients I cover a number of areas to ensure every area of your life is not only transformed but working in unison to achieve the goals we set out to.
The areas I cover include, but are not limited to:
• Happiness/ fulfillment level

A couple of testimonials:
Having worked with Shiv, I now feel extremely inspired in all aspects of life. Within my career, the goals I had set myself now seem so achievable and the projects we are working on together are incredibly exciting as I know the value they will bring to my business!
The advice, tools and support that Shiv has provided truly has been priceless. His knowledge and approach is absolutely amazing. He has identified exactly what I need to grow and I am so glad I have him as my coach.

I’ve always liked the idea of having a life coach but there was a little part of me that was skeptical as to whether it could really make a difference. I could not have been more wrong!
During the consultation, Shiv told me that each session could last up to 2 hours. I was worried that we wouldn’t have enough to talk about for that amount of time, but every session has absolutely flown by and left me with so much to think about. You also don’t just get those 2 hours a week, he’s also available via WhatsApp for any questions or support I might need and often sends me motivational messages throughout the week!
Having an objective person monitoring my progress and holding me accountable for the changes I want to make in my life is exactly what I need and I honestly couldn’t be happier with the progress I’ve made so far with Shiv’s help. One of the things I’m most thankful to Shiv for is that, not only has he helped me identify the areas of my life that need work and helped me create a plan to make those changes, he’s also made me appreciate that there are a lot of elements of my life that I am actually very happy with and I now no longer take that for granted.
I am excited to continue my coaching with Shiv and see what opportunities come with the renewed perspective he has given me.
If you’re thinking about working with Shiv, my advice would be to stop thinking about it and do it!
