His typical client profiles include:

• Newly appointed board executive; externally hired, adjusting to organisational complexity and an established culture.

• First-time CEO stepping up from functional head.

• Startup founder evolving from entrepreneurial ‘vision bearer’ to CEO of a growing, scaling business.

• MD or senior leader grappling with Imposter Syndrome or a dip in confidence.

Many of these leaders are managing conflict, handling difficult conversations, struggling with overwhelm, or seeking to refine their prioritisation and delegation skills.

Tim’s programmes are flexible and collaborative, blending coaching and mentoring to meet each client’s specific needs. His approach is challenging and direct, yet pragmatic. He offers insight, honest feedback, and support, with an essential and frequently needed sense of humour!

Tim believes empathy, trust, and psychological safety are the foundations of effective leadership. He provides a confidential space for reflection and exploration, acting as his clients’ objective sounding board and leadership co-pilot.
