Supporting Leaders Create the Space Where Great Work Happens
You lead meaningful work, but sometimes things feel slower, more strained, or less connected than they should.
This coaching helps you reflect on the environment you’re creating, surface your own insights, and lead with more intention and trust.
Meaningful & Sustainable Leadership
As your coach, I’ll support you through a reflective process that helps you pause, notice the environment you’re creating, and lead with more clarity and intention - without losing yourself in the pressure.
1. Awareness
You start to notice what’s really happening in the space around you — the patterns, tensions or behaviours that shape how your team shows up.
2. Clarity
You gain insight into the leadership presence you’re bringing — and the shifts that might support more trust, openness and momentum.
3. Growth
You begin to lead differently — with more calm, more awareness, and more confidence in the way you shape the culture.
I create space for leaders to think clearly about the culture, tone and relational dynamics they’re shaping - and to make intentional shifts that support better outcomes.
I coach one person at a time -Â online or in person -Â and each conversation is designed to help you slow down, notice more, and lead from a deeper place.

It’s frustrating when things stall. The stakes are high, time feels tight, and you feel your team isn’t moving as fast as you need. In those moments, it’s easy to react from urgency, pressure, or doubt.
The ELVO Reflex is a simple 4-step leadership habit to help you pause, reflect, and respond with intention - especially when frustration starts to build.
It’s a practical first step in creating the conditions your team needs to thrive - grounded in psychological safety, emotional intelligence, and values-led leadership.

I’m Richard — a coach and also currently a senior leader in UK local government. Before that, I spent 16 years as an officer in the Royal Air Force.
I’ve led people through pressure, change, and complexity - and I still do. I know what it means to hold responsibility for trust, outcomes, and the culture around me.
That’s why I coach one person at a time. This is a deliberately small coaching practice - so I can offer clients the kind of space I wish I’d had at key moments in my own leadership.
