Coaching · Advisory · Mentoring

For high achievers asking what comes next.

Private coaching for founders, executives, and professionals navigating career transitions, midlife re-evaluation, and the quiet restlessness that follows success. Expect sharper questions, not the usual answers.

Who this is for

Most people I work with are founders, owners, and senior leaders. They have built something real and reached a point where the usual advice no longer fits. Usually it is one of these.

  • You have reached a decision the standard playbook can't answer: co-founders who didn't grow with the company, investors who take more time than they return, headwinds you didn't choose.
  • AI is moving faster than you can absorb, and leading your people through it has landed on top of everything else you already carry.
  • You are selling, exiting, or stepping back, and what comes after a decade of work is now an open question.
  • More and more sits on you alone: the workload, the real risk of burning out, work spilling into a home life that is already complicated.
  • You are weighing a bigger move, another country or another setup, because where you are no longer fits the life you want for the people around you.
  • You are taking stock at midlife: where your time and health are going, what still has your ambition, and the people who gave something up for what you built.
  • By every external measure you are doing well, yet the drive that powered the last decade isn't what it was and the next move isn't obvious.

How I work

This is not therapy, and it is not a business coach. It sits between the two: strategic clarity on the questions that shape a life.

Questions, not answers

My job is to ask what you haven't let yourself ask. The answers you already carry. Sessions are Socratic by design.

Built and exited

I've run companies across several industries. I understand pressure, reinvention, and the specific loneliness of being the person others look to.

Outside the usual box

No stock coaching scripts, no off the shelf frameworks, no generic language you could find on any other coach's website. I think outside the usual box because that is what my clients actually come here for.

Discretion

Everything discussed stays between us. Most clients are in roles where that matters.

Honest

I will tell you what I see. That is what you are paying for, not agreement.

Not a fit for everyone

I work with a small number of clients at a time and I am selective about who I take on. If I don't think I can be useful to you, I will say so on the intro call. I reserve the right to decline. Fit has to go both ways.

Leading through AI

AI is arriving faster than anyone can comfortably absorb, and for an experienced leader that is its own kind of pressure. You are expected to have a view, set a direction, and work out what it means for your people, often before you have had the time to get to grips with it yourself. It lands on top of a load that was already full.

That is something I coach people through. Not tool training, and not a strategy handed to you on a deck. It is the same work I have always done: thinking clearly under a fast-moving change, deciding what actually matters and what to leave alone, and staying in front of it rather than being run by it.

Peter, founder of Volaris

About

I've been an entrepreneur since my early twenties. Over the years I've built and operated businesses across the music industry, consulting, pharmaceuticals, and telecommunications. For some time now my work has been centered on advisory and mentoring roles, helping other founders and leaders think clearly about what they are doing and why.

Volaris is where that work lives. It is coaching drawn from actually having been in the seat: the decisions, the pivots, the wins that felt hollow, the losses that turned out to be useful. I work with a small number of clients at a time, by design.

Lately that has increasingly meant coaching experienced leaders through what AI puts on them: the pace, the pressure to have a view, and the decisions it forces about their people.

How it works

Three steps, no surprises.

Intro call

A free half hour conversation. We figure out if this is the right fit, and what you would actually want from the work. No obligation either way, on either side.

Engagement

Typically a three or six month engagement. Sessions run 60 to 90 minutes, usually every two weeks, by video or in person. Between sessions you have direct access for shorter exchanges.

Outcomes

You leave with decisions made, a clearer sense of direction, and habits of thought you can keep using long after we stop meeting.

Engagement

Every engagement is shaped around the person. Pricing is discussed on the intro call once we know what you are working on and what cadence makes sense. I keep a small roster. Availability is limited and I am selective about who joins it.

Questions people ask

Is this therapy?

No. I am not a licensed therapist and this isn't clinical work. If something comes up that belongs in therapy, I will say so. Many clients work with both: therapy for the internal landscape, coaching for what they are going to do about it.

How is this different from a business coach?

A business coach focuses on the company. I focus on the person running it, or the person deciding whether they still want to. Business decisions show up often, but the frame is wider: career, identity, relationships, what you want the next decade to actually look like.

How long does coaching usually last?

Most engagements run three to six months. Some clients continue on a lighter cadence after that. I don't believe in indefinite coaching. The point is for you to not need me.

Is it in person or virtual?

Both. Most sessions are by video. In person sessions are possible depending on location. We can discuss on the intro call.

What if I'm not sure I need coaching?

That's usually the right moment to talk. The intro call is free and built to answer that question honestly. If it's not the right fit, I will tell you. I'm not trying to sell you coaching. I'm trying to figure out whether we should work together.

What do you cost?

Engagements are custom and priced accordingly. We'll talk about it on the intro call so the number is tied to something concrete rather than a generic package.

If you're asking the question, that's usually reason enough to talk.

A free half hour call. No pitch, no pressure.
