About Ian 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I'm a full-time, professional coach with over 30 years of experience in people  development, and team dynamics. This isn’t a side project or quick-fix solution—it’s dedicated, human-centred work built on trust, experience, and results. 

 

The photo you see here was taken 20 years ago, during an expedition I was leading on the Annapurna Circuit in Nepal. I may look a little different now, but the essence remains the same: helping people step into something new, face into challenge, and explore fresh paths forward.

My background includes decades of working with teams—on mountainsides, in boardrooms, and within organisations managing change. But these days, my focus is on individuals: people looking for clarity, purpose, or direction—whether that’s in their career, personal life, or somewhere in between.

I work with those stepping into new roles, going through transitions, reassessing their path, or simply feeling stuck. Together, we create space to think clearly, make confident decisions, and move forward—without adding to your already full plate.

 

No jargon.  No formulas. Just honest, grounded coaching that meets you where you are.
