Coaching
What I Do
I work with CEOs and their teams to unlock growth. After 20 years (10 as a journalist interviewing CEOs, 10 coaching them), I've helped unlock over $750 million in revenue by identifying what's actually blocking performance.
My clients have been leadership teams from IBM, Cognizant, Equinix, Microsoft, Google, Cognizant, Cisco, LinkedIn, Intralinks, Reed Exhibitions, UK Government departments and other well-known brands.
I also work with early-stage leaders. It might be how you communicate, position or even think about the problem. In other cases, your board might have the wrong approach to chasing deals. ue.
I help you see the truth, then I help you act on it.
The Work
CEO COACHING
High-stakes moments require flawless execution. Board presentations, enterprise pitches, media appearances, investor meetings. When failure isn't an option, I coach you to win the room.
SPEAKER AND MEDIA COACHING
For the five minutes on you're on TV, the share price hangs on your every word. For the audience you speak in front of, your first 10 seconds is life-or-death judgement on your career. Media coaching gives you the tools to navigate and narrate these experiences.
TEAM PERFORMANCE
Your team is losing deals because they can't communicate value. I coach them to present like closers, handle objections, build credibility in the room.
THE MIRROR
Can't figure out why you have stopped growing personally or in business? The Mirror diagnostic shows you exactly where you're strong, where you're weak, where the market sees you differently than you see yourself. It's the truth you need before you build strategy.
Who This Is For
- CEOs and leaders who have a growth or communication ceiling and don't know why.
- Leadership teams losing enterprise deals in the final round.
- Founders who need to scale but keep hitting the same blockers.
You already know something's wrong. You just can't see what it is.
Why Dan?
I've coached a lot of leaders to give them direction, clarity in confidence in how they move ahead. Some are blocked by personal issues or beliefs - others need to see the world through a new lens. The key is how you communicate with yourself.
The story you tell yourself is the one others will hear.
If you're stuck and you don't know why, let's talk.
