Executive coaching for senior leaders in professional services
Your calendar is full. Your highest-value work isn't on it.
I coach leaders who got promoted because they were technically brilliant, and now can't stop doing the work they were promoted out of.
Nobody told you the rules just changed.
You're still the best problem-solver in the building. And that's exactly the problem.
You attend every meeting because "what if they need me?" You review every deliverable because "it's faster if I check it." You do the thinking at 9pm because the day belongs to everyone else.
You've tried to fix this. You hired good people. You delegated, it came back wrong, you fixed it yourself. You restructured. You bought new tools. And you're still the bottleneck.
The problem was never the system. It was always the behaviour around it.
The practitioner advantage
I've sat in your chair. That's why this works.
Most executive coaches advise from memory. They left operational roles years ago.
I've spent 11 years inside professional services. I hold coaching qualifications with distinction. I'm DISC certified. I maintain a research pipeline of 400+ peer-reviewed papers. And I still practise four days a week, coaching from live experience, not retrospect.
That's not a limitation. It's why this works.
Three forces keep leaders stuck
Delivery gravity
You're still doing work someone else should be doing. Not because you have to. Because it's faster, safer, and more comfortable.
Boundary failure
You absorb scope creep because saying no feels like a relationship risk. You attend every meeting because "what if they need me?"
Identity attachment
You became a leader because you were brilliant at the craft. Letting go of the craft feels like losing the thing that makes you valuable.

How we work together
A simple path from diagnosis to change
Assess
Complete the LTI, a free diagnostic that maps where you sit in the shift from doer to leader across three key dimensions of leadership.
Diagnose
We debrief your results on a 30-minute call. No pitch. Just clarity on what the data shows and whether coaching is the right move.
Coach
Bi-weekly 1:1 sessions to rewire the habits keeping you stuck in delivery. Each ends with a concrete commitment reviewed at the next.
Sustain
We build an accountability framework that works without me. A permanent shift in how you lead, not just a temporary boost of motivation.
The numbers
£30k
per leaver.
Replacing one employee costs over £30,000 in lost output and recruitment. When leaders are stuck in delivery, their best people leave first.
Oxford Economics/Unum
60%
time wasted.
Knowledge workers spend 60% of their week on "work about work": status updates, chasing approvals, switching tools. None of it billable.
Asana Anatomy of Work Index
52%
of projects hit scope creep.
Despite decades of project management tooling. The root causes are behavioural: people-pleasing, panic, guilt, and fear of losing clients.
