A room with no agenda in it.
Every leader eventually faces a decision they cannot rehearse anywhere else - a board they must win, a restructure they must land, a call only they can make. This is confidential counsel from someone who has sat in that seat.
I have been the Chief Medical Officer accountable for a 1.5 million-person system through a pandemic, the Global Medical Director inside a global technology company, and a non-executive on NHS and charity boards. I know the difference between the decision on the agenda and the one that actually keeps you awake.
This is not coaching in the usual sense. It is a peer-level advisory relationship, held in confidence, that follows the same clinical discipline I have used my whole career: understand the real problem before proposing a course of action.
Leadership starts long before anyone gives you a title - and the hardest decisions rarely appear on the agenda.
Where I help most
By application.
Advisory relationships are taken selectively and in confidence. Tell me briefly what you're facing; you'll have a decision within two working days, and an invitation to book if it's a fit.
Fees are discussed in the recommendation that follows our first conversation, once the work is understood - not before.
