With my coaching I focus on helping individuals develop as leaders within organisations, as well as supporting entrepreneurs to navigate the pressures of small business ownership.

I really enjoy helping others to address these types of challenges, acting as a thinking partner to open clients’ minds so that they can better work out solutions to whatever it is that may be blocking their progress. Having personally and professionally benefited from being coached it is highly rewarding to be able to give back to others. I am continually learning from my clients and seeing their outcomes from our coaching sessions is very satisfying.

Whether it is helping someone to become more successful in their career, to find greater fulfilment in their working life, or to help them to make a positive change, coaching people to assist them in reaching their goals is my most rewarding career move.

My background is as a Chartered Accountant and I’ve worked in many different businesses and industries over the last 25 years, together with running my own businesses.  This provides a diverse range of experiences that I can bring to any coaching engagement.

My sweet spot is helping new Directors and functional heads become confident, successful leaders through 1-1 executive coaching. I empower and enable them to focus on what matters, stay calm and effective under pressure and communicate with impact so they can lead themselves and others to great results. I also have specialist knowledge in the challenges women face in realising their aspirations, particularly in male-dominated environments.

I’m the author of Unleash Your Leadership : How to Worry Less and Achieve More which distils my expertise in helping my clients increase their confidence and step-change their influence and impact through practical strategies grounded in neuroscience.

My second book, Change your State : Feel better, Think better, Lead better will – hopefully! – be available in 2025.

My background?

I am ICF Associate Certified Coach.  My love of coaching was sparked from being coached myself at several critical points in my career.  It was life-changing for me and I was hooked.

Most of my career has been spent working at the intersection of the private and public sector with 15 years as Chief Operating Officer of the Mayor of London’s promotional agency, London & Partners.

My personal and professional experience informs my coaching.  I empower purpose-driven people to navigate key transitions in their career allowing them to realise their potential through authentic leadership where they embody their values.  This might be by supporting them in taking up their first leadership role, through complex change programmes, building-high performing teams or embedding values-led cultures, whilst avoiding burn-out and managing work life balance.  There isn’t much that I haven’t experienced across a varied career.

I am also a trustee of the Thames Festival Trust, governor of a local primary school, church organist and enjoy long walks.

I’ve recently started on my journey as a Coach as I undertake an ILM Level 7 Coaching qualification and begin my coaching practice. I’m finding the insight that coaching and being coached is providing genuinely life changing and I can’t wait to learn more!

I’m a Passionate People Professional specializing in driving inclusion, implementing creative effective recruitment solutions, and resourcing and upskilling line managers. I’m currently a People Business Partner with a large sport & leisure Trust in Sheffield.

CIPD Level 7 Qualified, Chartered MCIPD, IMPC Qualified Interpersonal Mediator, I have over 20 + years HR experience in generalist and specialist roles gained in charity, not for profit and legal sectors.

I am warm, grounded and calm in my coaching approach. I genuinely believe in the inherent resourcefulness of each of my clients and am motivated to support individuals on their unique journey of discovery through the coaching process.

After more than a decade managing front line multidisciplinary teams in the NHS in major acute hospital trusts in London I have relocated with my young family to Surrey where I grew up. I am privileged to be taking up a new role as Associate Director of Operations for Integrated Community Services for the Royal Surrey NHS Foundation Trust from April 2023. In this role I will work with partners from across the health and social care sectors to develop and deliver services to meet the needs of our local population in South West Surrey.

Alongside this role, and within this work, I will apply my coaching skills and mindset to support others to make great choices, find purpose and direction in their own lives. Working with others in a coaching relationship is a gift and a joy for me. I love working with individual clients and as an Action Learning Set facilitator.

I’ve spent my entire professional career in the UK, working across a variety of industries including software recruitment, financial services, and education management.

My purpose is to support people in management roles to become the kind of leaders who bring out the best in those around them. Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to gain a deep understanding of the challenges and opportunities that leaders face in different environments.

I’m now combining my HR expertise with my growing coaching skills to help others lead with confidence and authenticity. Coaching is a new and exciting chapter in my professional journey.  I’m here to keep learning, connect with like-minded people, and continue developing my coaching practice with curiosity and purpose

I have been mentoring since 2001, coaching since 2007 and coach training since 2010. It is the central part of my work and something that has given me great satisfaction as well as seeing many benefits for others.

My initial training was as a business coach, and subsequently I trained as an ICF accredited coach, and now hold their PCC level. The main pleasure I now get is teaching others to coach, either in their setting or on our accredited programmes.

Much of the focus of my coaching work has been with leaders in education. It is a joy to work with school leaders, and increasingly they are engaging in coaching for themselves and for colleagues.

The other part of my work is supporting coaches with their development. I run Love Your Coaching, an ILM coach training centre, and also work as an ICF coach mentor and a coaching supervisor. This is the other joy – supporting coaches to develop their own skills.

Here’s how I can help:

**1:1 Coaching**

I help my clients make significant mindset shifts that break limiting patterns, replacing them with empowering beliefs and positive habits that lead to sustainable behaviour change.

**Team Coaching & Workshops**

I help leadership teams break down silos, build trust, and create the kind of alignment that drives results. My programs and workshops are tailored to each team’s unique needs – examples include building a cohesive team culture, adopting inclusive leadership behaviors and setting a bold vision to achieve growth.

**Why Work with Me?**

* Trusted by leaders and leadership teams from companies like Microsoft, Salesforce, Amgen and many more.

* Known for creating safe spaces where real change happens.

* Focused on practical, action-oriented strategies that bring results.

Hi there, I started coaching in 2001 after a thirteen years of commercial (mostly sales) experience in the technology, media and telecoms sectors.

I had been sitting on the roof of a houseboat on a lake near Srinagar in Kashmir at sunset, listening to the Muezzin calling the faithful to prayer. After months of exploration I finally realised that the thing that gives me the most satisfaction in life is helping people. I also love the world of business so it was obvious I should be coaching in business.

I’m lucky enough to have been in occupied solidly ever since with some great clients. I’m continuing to develop as an Exec coach (it never ends!) and my focus now is firmly on coaching leadership teams.

My clients tell me that I’m pragmatic and practical which my wife finds hard to believe.

I am a 121 Motivational Coach with over 20 years of experience and developing others, primarily in the John Lewis Partnership.

121 Personal Coaching: As your coach I will build rapport and chemistry with you through a genuine interest in your agenda. This means being in the moment with you, listening, asking targeted, thoughtful, open questions and challenging you where I believe it to be appropriate and helpful.

You will then design your own action plans and goals after each session, while both you and I will manage progress and accountability.

I will support you to let go of things that aren’t helpful. This can sometimes mean living alongside the unhelpful for a while to really notice what is going on for you.

I will help you to explore the things you do really well and use these skills and qualities as allies to make life even better.

121 Personal Coaching with Motivational Maps ®: There are times when we can feel highly motivated and the “doing” becomes easy, but what about when we get stuck? There are many reasons behind why we might not be motivated to start something… fear, lack of confidence, peer pressure…. to name but three.

Motivational Maps is a self perception inventory which means you are getting an insight into your motivations and where your energy is flowing right now.

Motivation is so crucial in shaping what is important to us (especially in the current climate), yet it can be really difficult sometimes to work out what truly drives us.

People ask what’s important to me…. happiness I say, it’s the key to everything, including my motivation. Being true to myself and authentic, showing appreciation, kindness and love for others is really important in my world. If some fun and humour can be added along the way, that’s always good too!

Having worked in construction and manufacturing as a project manager for the past 30 years I know the challenges and stress that can build trying to meet deadlines with limited budgets and rocketing customer expectations.

Jo Maughan inspires and equips professionals at or near the top of their careers to create careers & lives with more balance, fulfillment and joy – whatever that looks like.

Could it be that despite being successful you also feel stressed, frustrated, scared, angry, sad, uncertain, or confused at times? Yes? Of course. These feelings are part of the human condition and yet when they persist and are having a detrimental effect on you, they are clues to ‘look inside’ to become an even better version of yourself, and to create an even better version of your career & life.

As a career and leadership coach, Jo works side-by-side with her clients enabling them to step free of whatever’s getting in the way. She especially loves to work with high achievers in mid-life working in large organisations.

Separately I currently also practise as a counsellor and psychotherapist (UKCP accredited).

Working within the corporate environment for almost 30 years, I have seen how people struggle with workplace change and how that has affected career choices and confidence. This can also lead to frustration and self-doubt, jeopardising progression at the very time when focus should be put on advancement and satisfaction.

I specialise in supporting individuals to build on the skills they have already developed, so that they can identify themselves and push for the recognition and promotion they deserve.

Nicola Arnold (PCC, CPCC, BA (Hons), Cert Ed) is a Certified Professional Co-Active Coach empowering women to achieve inner confidence by challenging limiting beliefs and mindset that stop them valuing their own worth.

She firmly believes that self worth is a lifestyle not a luxury. With over 25 years’ experience in helping individuals focus on their development both professionally and personally, her passion is in supporting individuals to connect with who they really are and what they really want. She nurtures them to be happy in their skin by quashing self doubt and reconnecting with their true self so they can illuminate their path of possibilities and make resonant choices. In 2016 she launched the Happy to be ME hub (shortlisted for an ‘exceptional business award’ 2017 and two awards in 2018) an online community where people can share what’s made them smile and how they have connected with gratitude.

It has fostered a culture where everyone supports and champions each other to be their authentic selves and be happy to be in their own skin. Nicola is regularly invited to speak at events and has spoken at the UK ICF conference and for several of their chapters.

She also writes regularly for a number of online mediums on self care, wellbeing and authenticity – three of her top values. Recent clients have included Princes Trust, NHS and other charity organisations, both within the UK and internationally.

“At a critical time as I started a new company, with all the pressure and uncertainty that brings, Rob gave me the space to think calmly and rationally. His ability to listen, understand and challenge was exactly what I needed.” – Client: F.P.

Navigating today’s complex, fast-paced, and office-based/remote organisational landscape can be challenging. My mission as a coach is to support individuals in thinking through the tough and tricky situations they may face. I am deeply committed to helping clients enhance their self-awareness and overcome any self-limiting beliefs that can hold them back.

With a focus on coaching the whole person, I aim to integrate balance into every aspect of my clients’ lives, not just their professional personas. I help individuals tap into their full potential and develop the skills necessary to maintain a healthy work-life balance for both personal and professional success.

My coaching style is gentle, calm and considered, creating a space of trust and openness where I listen intently, reflect on observations, and offer constructive challenges and help structure thinking around mental frameworks. I believe that true growth comes from understanding oneself better, and my approach encourages clients to explore the narratives they tell themselves, facilitating breakthroughs that lead to lasting change.

“Rob helped me to look inward at what I wanted to achieve and to break down the barriers to my goals and explore other avenues. He was a great facilitator, encouraging self-reflection.” – Client: N.T.

Ultimately, I see myself as being in service to the individual, enabling them to do their best thinking necessary for their success and empowering them to achieve their highest potential. My goal is to support their journey towards greater self-awareness, fulfilment, and effectiveness. Equipping them with the tools and perspectives they need to navigate future obstacles with confidence and resilience.

I enjoy coaching individuals with a wide range of backgrounds, and I have a particular affinity for coaching technical professionals. As a Chartered Engineer with over 20 years’ experience, I understand some of the unique challenges in helping people in their personal and leadership development.

I am accredited as a Senior Practitioner in Executive Coaching with the European Mentoring and Coaching Council (EMCC). I completed my coaching training through the Professional Certificate in Executive Coaching at Henley Business School.

I specialise in two areas: coaching individuals and groups in helping them improve their business development, and relational team coaching with leadership teams.

My passion for coaching evolved naturally. I saw police colleagues unleash their true potential and the joy that brought. I received coaching late on in my career, and now strive to deliver coaching opportunities to all. On leaving policing I launched my own leadership development company Blue Husky Ltd.

After a rollercoaster 30 years in UK policing, I left as a Chief Superintendent. I have 20 years’ leadership experience nationally and internationally – I led teams in some of the most challenging contexts and was totally committed to protecting the vulnerable in society. My resilience, values and leadership have all been tested and developed – with many lessons gleaned.

I seek work where I can make the most impact wuth teams and individuals. I help the private, public and third sector tackling their prickly challenges.  I am now a leadership associate and coach for the College of Policing. I also deliver coaching for their ‘Aspire’ programme for under-represented leaders.

My mission is to deliver bespoke development programmes and coaching that totally focuses on clients’ needs in their current context. I believe by tackling the difficult issues, they will be more effective and happier. I am an EMCC Practitioner 1-1 coach. I have a Level 7 Diploma in Team Coaching.

I voluntarily chair the Governors Board for Merrywood Education. During Covid we opened two trauma informed independent special schools for children with the most complex needs. I have completed endurance events and my sporting experiences help shape my approaches.

Toby combines his interest and passion in understanding how our minds work with 27 years of experience working in academic, industry and consultancy sectors.

Toby’s approach is to listen without judgement so as to gain an understanding of the person he is coaching, and then to take the conversation ‘upstream’ at some point to view things from a different perspective.

Toby is interested in what brings people to life, what they really want, as well as which of the stories we tell ourselves are genuinely true versus those that strangle our life energy and stop us from fulfilling our potential. Gaining this clarity can help transform how a coachee sees their situation and their mind habits, as well as identify what action is required (if at all).

Toby is accredited in this type of transformative coaching after attending the Genius Catalyst course for coaches by Michael Neill. Toby is also a licensed practitioner of Insights Discovery, which can be used alongside other tools within the coaching sessions to help raise self-awareness. Self-awareness is key to understanding and allowing ourselves without judgement and therefore harnessing our full personal power.

I’ve been running Wendy Strohm Associates for 30 years – offering coaching throughout this time, and supervision over the last 15 years.  I enjoy creating the space for clients to think and reflect and explore possibilities that may have a positive impact.  I use honesty, challenge and call to action to support clients.  We work with organisations, executives, leaders and managers to navigate change, explore performance, and people-related work.

My background is in HR and I hold a Masters in HM and am a Chartered Fellow of the Chartered Institute for Personnel and Development.
