I help people and small businesses who find themselves at a fork in the road on their journey to success. I’ve travelled some winding routes myself. I’m a former hydrographic surveyor, a role that took me from coldest Russia to boat chases with the coast guard of Equatorial Guinea. After a few too many Christmases away, I came back to the UK and created Precise Consultants. We’re a global hydrographic consultancy helping clients find the best people for the most challenging roles in the offshore world. We’ve gone from 2 to 25 people in our team, with offices in London and Singapore. Now I take all those bruising lessons learned and hard yards stomped, crunch them all up and use them in my coaching practice. There, I’m pretty craft-focused and people-centric. What does that mean? Well, I create a space for people to dig deep into the work they do and create an environment where challenges faced can be stared down and tackled, head on. I want people to leave our sessions thinking: “Now I know what I need to do”. Practical stuff, not fluff. Maybe it’s deeper culture building that needs exploring, or just helping unstick what’s stuck to help progress careers, or we’ll crack a formula to find funding for a Big Leap forward. I find that just being curious is a good place to start. We can take things from there.
