Pressure was the job. Now it's the work.
I coach high achievers to go further than they think they can — and to deliver when the pressure is on.
For sixteen years I've worked with founders, executives, lawyers, judges and other accomplished professionals. Before that, fifteen years as a human rights barrister and three years leading a private-equity-backed start-up.
My coaching is direct. Expect to be challenged. I don't assume your track record is your ceiling — and I won't collude with limits you haven't tested.
The work draws on performance psychology and the methods elite performers use to steady their state, think clearly under pressure and recharge properly. We work on how you think, prepare and respond — especially when things don't go to plan. The test is what you can do when it matters.
A life-threatening diagnosis taught me that pressure is physical as well as mental. When your body is under threat, mindset alone isn't enough — you need trained responses that work when you're depleted.
The lesson wasn't to be less ambitious. It was to find a better way to carry it.

Sometimes the work is restoring access to your capability. Sometimes it's expanding it. That work now takes two forms.
The Sustained Edge — coaching to restore and sustain your capacity: clear, calm and effective, without running yourself into the ground. From October, also a performance system for high achievers.
Tier One Pro — coaching for people already at the top of their game who want to go further. This October, also a small, closed cohort.
