Shift your mindset. Grow as a leader.
Coaching and development programmes, from first job to senior leadership, that build what’s rarely taught: self-awareness, confidence, resilience, strategic thinking, storytelling and the ability to lead others.
Embedded Files
Whether you’re starting your career, stepping into leadership for the first time or navigating the demands of a senior role, there are moments when you need space to think, reset and grow. Through one-to-one coaching, I help people explore what’s getting in the way, reconnect with their strengths and move forward with confidence.
The Catalyst programmes
The Catalyst programmes
I’ve built two twelve-week programmes, one for people early in their careers and one for emerging leaders. Each runs as a small, intimate cohort of 10–12 people, online or on site and can be tailored to your organisation.

Meet Rich
For 20 years I led large-scale change and built high-performing teams.
The golden thread through it all was people: helping someone find clarity when they felt stuck, or confidence when they’d lost it.
Now I do that full time, as an executive coach trained at Henley Business School.

Rich helped me navigate a significant role change - a big jump up professionally. I was feeling overwhelmed with imposter syndrome and carrying a deep fear of failure.
Rich offered powerful perspective and refreshing honesty that helped dismantle the barriers holding me back. Through values-based coaching, he reframed my fears while also helping me uncover my own strengths and put them to practical use. His actionable advice helped me better manage stress, respond effectively to difficult situations and adopt a growth-oriented mindset. He did this with remarkable care and patience—driven by a genuine desire to see me succeed.
I now have renewed confidence, greater self-awareness, and a clearer sense of purpose. I’m a more effective, empathetic leader, better equipped to lead those around me.

I met Richard while transitioning from a consulting role into an in-house position. I wanted to move into my next role with confidence and a clearer sense of direction for my career.
Richard brought a wealth of experience, research, and practical tools to our session, which helped me not only see myself in a new light but also understand myself more deeply. His approach is genuine and authentic, creating a space where I felt safe to bring my whole self.
I now have a clear understanding of my true strengths and how to leverage them to bring out the best in myself and those around me. I also know the environments in which I thrive and have developed greater resilience.

I started working with Rich as I was exploring the idea of leaving my role and starting up a business. Rich’s coaching has been invaluable in supporting that life change and transition.
Rich has helped me explore the unknown, carefully and kindly, whilst consistently nudging me forward, to keep my mind focussed on what it is I am striving for. Above all else, he has encouraged me to be ambitious, with frameworks, ideas and tools whilst mitigating and managing the risks.
I've really appreciated Rich's approach - challenging the things that are holding me back whilst managing the realities of my challenges too and the impact they can have. I felt heard, validated and empowered to move forward.

I was going through a challenging transition period in my career. I was actively looking for a new role and needed guidance, clarity, and confidence.
Working with Richard made a significant difference. He helped me identify and articulate my personal and professional strengths, and showed me how to use them effectively throughout the interview process and in my self-presentation.
His support was both strategic and practical: with concrete recommendations, hands-on tools, and thoughtful insights that helped build confidence.
His feedback was always constructive, encouraging, and deeply helpful.

I worked with Richard for several months during a career transition. Having been at the same company for a long time, I felt unsure about my next step and which roles I should be applying for. Richard helped me unpack my thoughts, ease my uncertainties, and bring clarity to what initially felt overwhelming.
His approach was consistently empathetic and understanding, and he has a brilliant ability to reflect back what I shared in a clear and concise way. This helped me synthesise my thinking and turn it into practical, achievable actions to work on between sessions.
I would highly recommend working with Richard. He not only helped me identify the roles that were the right next step for me, but also gave me the confidence to move forward in my career.
