As Seen In...
I am an award-winning entrepreneur who has started companies from scratch, acquired and merged companies, and been the CEO of a private equity-backed business. I’ve experienced the ups and – just as importantly – the downs of business and entrepreneurship.
I have been working with entrepreneurs since I was invited to be a Virgin Startup mentor about 10 years ago, before moving on to working privately with clients. I have experience working across the full business lifecycle from startup to national scale, private equity investment and exit.
In my day job, I am the Founder & MD of CJPI where we work with some of the most ambitious companies and household names to help them build innovative and adaptive organisations.
I underpin my own business experience with globally recognised qualifications in organisational change and coaching and mentoring. I am also proud to have been appointed as a Fellow of the Institute of Leadership, as well as to have received recognition in various awards, including the Lloyd’s Bank Enterprise Awards, and the ’42 under 42′ by the Insider... read more
Working with me is probably best described as a blended approach, built around your requirements. As an experienced entrepreneur, consultant, coach and mentor, I blend my approach to target what you need at any one time.
This is great for business owners and SME CEOs looking for one-to-one support, wrapping flexible and blended support into one monthly cost.
I have worked with business mentoring and coaching clients across various industries for periods ranging from a few months to a few years. If you are scaling, navigating challenges, want to become a better leader, or thinking of exiting - let’s chat.
The first call is free to make sure there is a good fit on both sides. After that, it’s a commercial relationship with mutual commitment and accountability.
After our free introductory call, if you decide to move ahead, we will have an initial kickoff session so I can understand where things stand today. This will take 1 to 2 hours and will highlight the initial priorities we will focus on.
This is followed by video sessions at a frequency and duration you decide on - starting from one call per month.
During our sessions, we will work through your challenges, growth opportunities and anything you need support with. We will also work on longer-term goals and objectives.
We'll also keep in touch between sessions to deal with anything which might come up that you need some quick input on - this can also be enhanced if required to include a more intensive support package.
All of our sessions are remote, one-to-one video calls. Depending on the package you decide on, we will also keep in touch in between calls via WhatsApp and/or via email.
I'm committed to the approach that I want clients to continue because they are getting results, not because they are in a long-term contract. That's why I offer this service on a simple 30-day rolling contract, giving you control.
There's a couple of flexible options depending on your requirements and the intensity of support you are looking for - all of these options are designed to give an incredible ROI. Testament to this is that nobody has ever cancelled within the first 3 months, and many clients choose to continue for over 12-months and beyond!
In terms of investment, to give you an idea, our least intense option offers great impact for an accessible investment - it includes one 60-minute session per month with unlimited email support in between sessions, and this is currently just £750/month (plus vat).
For larger businesses or those looking for more intense support, I offer fortnightly sessions with the option of on-demand support which goes beyond advice on specific queries in-between calls (this is popular with larger businesses going through significant change/growth, who are exit planning, or who just want extra support in between sessions).
