Meet Brian
I’m an executive coach and author—and a self-confessed gentleman.
My dad raised me that way. And over the years, working with senior leaders, I’ve seen a consistent truth: the most effective leaders are gentle men and women. They get the best results because they treat people with dignity and respect.
That belief sits at the heart of The Gentle Art of Leadership, the book I co-authored to challenge the outdated notion that leadership has to be loud, brash, or domineering.
To be clear: gentle does not mean soft. Or weak. Gentle leaders are not pushovers. In fact, the gentlest leaders I know are also the strongest. They set clear boundaries. Don’t mistake their calm for passivity—because if you try to bulldoze them, you’ll soon find you’ll come off second best.
I work with leaders who know that real influence doesn’t come from ego or force — it comes from getting the best out of others.
If you’re here looking for a leadership coach who makes it all about them, who thrives on hype and hustle—you’re probably in the wrong place.
But if you’re ready to join the movement toward a gentler, more impactful style of leadership, I’d be honoured to see how I could support you.
What People Are Saying
'Having done both Individual and group sessions with Brian I can recommend his programs. Most recently completed the Personality and Behaving Transactionally which for me has been a real game changer. Its rare in any role you are not working with people either internally or externally. This program while first focusing on your own reflection and the role you play, then helps understand others and where things can go off track. There is no one silver bullet in anything we do but this program had immediate impact on my day to day work interactions.'

I met Brian at a time when I was looking to become a CISO. I achieved that dream and more thanks to Brian. Of a handful of people I respect and care for in my life, Brian is one. Brian taught me the art of commitment, the way to make the impossible, possible. Brian is a great teacher, influencer and change driver. If you are looking for a change or even if you want a different perspective on work or life, take the time to contact Brian. My respect and thanks to Brian for making a change in me.

We came to Brian as a strong team with a desire to do more than our limited time had allowed us. We are passionate about our goals and we wanted Brian's advice on directions to take for massive growth; to "step it up a notch". We finished our time with Brian with an electric energy amoungst us and a restructured path that I am sure will see us continue to grow. I would recommend Brian to anyone who is looking to take that extra step to achieve their business goals.
