Biography:

Clive is caring, focused and prepared. He holds a coaching space that encourages honest conversation and for senior managers to dig deep. He has a genuine interest in helping people achieve their professional and life goals’ - CEO of a Multi Academy Trust.

A certified public sector executive coach and mental fitness trainer with over 10 years experience I have experience coaching teachers, head teachers, assistant head teachers, and academy directors.

More widely in the public sector I have experience coaching those working in law enforcement, the health service, the civil service and local council roles.

Away from executive coaching I also operate as a life coach. I partner with those struggling with overwhelm or underwhelm. With those desiring a more balanced way of living focused on what is truly important to them.

To support my coach delivery I am:

- Trained by the Coaches Training Institute (CTI), the most respected coach training school in the world.
- Accredited by the International Coaching Federation (ICF) as a Proffesional Certified Coach (PCC).
- Trained and certified by Positive Intelligence© in order to be able to lead and deliver their ground-breaking 8-week mental fitness training program.

Before becoming a full time coach I have a 15-year background working in the public sector - for the metropolitan police service as an intelligence analyst. I have a degree in Management Science (with a year in industry) BSc, from Kent University: Grade 2.1.

Balance is a core value of mine. I often coach professionals struggling with either overwhelm or underwhelm in their roles. Shifting them back toward a more centred balanced position a key component of our coaching together. Focus is a second core value of mine. I use psychometric assessments so my coachees can observe growth and gain insight through data. I am a great advocate for mental fitness as a concept. To be pro-active concerning ones mental health. Mental fitness definition - The level of mental preparedness one has at any given point to navigate challenge and perform at an optimal level

Parenting and family are at the core of who I am as a human being. I became a father in 2018 navigating both a career change and the challenge of becoming a stay-at-home dad. My son started school (reception) in September 2023. I am now a flag american football coach, coaching both adults for my local team as well as running an after school club at my sons school.

When not coaching or parenting my two passions are performing and sports. I recently joined a local public speaking group and am a mental skills coach and welfare officer for my local American Football Team - The London Olympians.

‘Coaching with Clive has been the best investment in myself I have ever made. I have a better understanding of my qualities as a leader and my confidence has grown. Clive coached me through a highly successful OFSTED process. He has given me, transferrable approaches and invaluable tools, that I now have for life.’ - Head Teacher, Primary School.
