Serving principled sellers who walk the tightrope between doing what's best for the customer and compromising their values to survive or keep their bosses happy

I work at the messy end of sales, partnerships, and leadership.The part where internal politics, fear, incentives, and timing shape outcomes long before a proposal is written.I help sellers, partnership teams, and operators make buying safe.That means reducing internal exposure, building trust across coalitions, and clearing deals through the second room.When that happens, deals move without pressure, customers stay longer, and leaders get clearer forecasts.I am the creator of the Ally Method, a practice for seller behaviour under buyer risk, and Decision Safety, a field of work on how unsafe decisions form and who inherits the consequences.My focus is survivability, stakeholder incentives, veto power, and implementation risk.I do not teach scripts. I train judgement.This is not playbook friendly work.If you sell into Finance, Risk, Legal, Ops, boards, or cross functional alliances, you already know that scripts and sequences do not survive contact.Over 35 years I have built and repaired sales teams, run partnerships and channels, trained managers, and worked with founders and boards through turnarounds and resets.I build operating systems, diagnostics, and practical training for teams who want clean revenue, honest management, and long term customers.If your world is transactional or high volume, I am not a fit.If your world is complex, political, or coalition based, we are solving the same problem.My stance is simple.Protect trust.Remove pressure.Reduce regret.Make decisions survivable.

Coach

My coaching provides professionals with the mindsets, toolsets, and skillsets to maximize their potential and live life to the fullest. 

Through immersive 1:1 sessions, I guide you on a journey of self-discovery, relationship building, and purpose alignment. My relatable, down-to-earth style creates a judgement-free space for you to engage deeply with what matters most.

Using proven frameworks rooted in human psychology, I enhance your emotional intelligence so you can understand motivations, connect empathetically, and communicate authentically. Thought-provoking stories, exercises and metaphors shift your perspective to unlock growth. 

You'll gain clarity on your values and talents so you can orient your life around meaning, not just achievement. Our work extends beyond the self to relationships - strengthening bonds, resolving conflicts, earning trust. With self-awareness comes the ability to create reciprocal, fulfilling connections.

Equipped with this knowledge of yourself and others, you're empowered to live with integrity. My guidance aligns your leadership, service and impact with your highest ideals. You contribute value in ways that feel effortless and fun.

The result is an empowered version of you. Fulfilled, at peace, surrounded by meaningful relationships. You have tools to continually evolve and actualize your potential while uplifting others. 

The impact spans all areas of life. As we dissolve what holds you back, you transform personally and professionally. My clients become more purpose-driven leaders, connectors, partners. They create positive change through the clarity and skills gained in our work together.

The journey isn't always easy, but with commitment it's life changing. Are you ready to uncover your best self and live life to the fullest?

Coaching consultants to sell big deals | Over $12B in sales generated for clients | $3B of personal wins | Deal creation to close

Consultants now live in the big deal making era. Thought leadership, relationships and risk management are the future. Better get good at selling then!

Why are you reading this? You’re a partner or director, most likely in a big B2B consultancy. 
You’ve also seen what lies ahead. 

After reading my content you thought, ‘wow, I need someone who rants about selling!’ That’s good, ‘cos I only work with motivated, coachable, and jolly nice people. 

It gives me a warm glow when I see you win. Mindset, deal selection and strategy are what I coach.

I’m not everyone’s cup of tea. A coach tells you home truths as well as stroking your ego. I deal in facts not could, would or should.

The King’s plain English is better than corporate speak, tongue in cheek humour and political incorrectness better than being beige. I don’t ‘do’ micro-management or admin.

Despite being told by teachers I’d never amount to much, flunking exams and being dumped by my first girlfriend I’ve done some stuff since. Still heartbroken BTW!

I paid for my MBA at IMD in Switzerland (get me, fancy, eh?). It’s one of the world’s best business schools. Harvard and Stanford were kind enough to help me as well.

My mother can’t quite believe I met a Prime Minister at Downing Street, nor other ministers, Lords and CEOs or Top Gear’s Hamster on a plane from Vienna. Or do DIY or ironing.

T-shirts and scars come from personally winning $3B of deals. The biggest was $1B and nearly killed me! Fuzzy feelings come from coaching others to $12B of wins and counting.

This poacher became a gamekeeper for a while, running $300m business units – delivering and operating. That makes you think about what you’re selling a little more.

Undertaker, builder, and kitchen fitter – proper jobs my mates have. They can’t figure out what I do. We won loads of hockey matches and still ski together.

Ask my kids how often I repeat the same stories. Name an 80s hit and I’ll sing it, but I walk into rooms and forget why.

All that means that your considerable investment in me gives great returns and you’ll be entertained along the way!

Call or DM me if you want to talk selling and coaching!
