Coaching for the stuff we don't get taught.
Hi, I'm Tim. I coach leaders and professionals who are brilliant at what they do – and have realised that's no longer enough. That usually looks like one of these:
- Technical experts stepping into leadership who need better people skills, improved delegation, stronger working relationships and more strategic nous.
- Leaders growing into bigger roles – navigating more complexity, more stakeholders and more ambiguity than ever before.
- Professionals building a practice, whose limiting mindsets or underdeveloped business development skills are keeping them from becoming trusted advisers to the best clients and projects.
- People at a career crossroads, who want clarity about their direction and practical steps to get there.
I work with chief executives, founders of consulting firms, and everyone in between.
I've done the roles I now coach people through:
- Strategic HR in Australia's largest bank
- Communications and project development consulting in the UK and Australia
- Ten years on Australia's largest public transport project – leading business case development, supporting the CEO and leadership team, and driving four major organisational transformations.
So when we talk about managing upward, influencing stakeholders, or leading through change, I'm not working from a textbook.
My approach is strengths-based and pragmatic. I'm strategic and accessible. I create a trusting environment for the difficult conversations, generating insight you can actually use – about your behaviour, your organisation, and your wider world. You develop your own solutions; my job is to help you see clearly and act deliberately.
I like to make jokes. Sometimes people laugh.
