Set and achieve realistic goals
I’ll help you to make a big difference in your life, one small step at a time. You can be happier, healthier, more fulfilled and successful in the life and work you choose, and with the people you choose to do it with.

If you’d like to invest in your positive future, just complete the ‘Get Started’ form. I’m looking forward to meeting you.
You know you're amazing at what you do
You’ve achieved so much, and there are many more things you’d like to do.
You have some great people around you who have real faith in you and what you can do to help them.
Your positive energy is just waiting to be let out. But you know you need a little help to release it!
IT'S NOT YOU
You know you can do whatever you set your mind to, because you have in the past. You just need to recover that mindset.
And I can help you get results and enable you to meet the challenges you know about, and prepare you for those you haven’t thought of yet.
You aren’t alone.
Why use me
I’m not just another mid-pack life coach. I look for the best from myself and I care deeply about getting the best results for you and making them stick.
Coaching is an unregulated industry, and I am keen to be a best in class professional partner. I continue to develop my professional skills through internationally accredited training and supervision.
I am a calm, thoughtful listener. I will be independent, non-judgmental and entirely on your side. This has served me well through my 3 decades of professional life where I have led very successful teams. In today’s world it can sometimes be tough to find someone like that to help you.
My services are unique. I’ll get to know you and prepare you before coaching. I will work with you in a purposeful, empathetic, slightly challenging way to ensure you get the best possible results from your coaching experience. After coaching, my aftercare will embed your results into your life, making you able to meet future challenges.
CLIENT SUCCESS STORY
“We had lost some contracts and we were struggling to meet company targets. The bosses were threatening job losses. Some of our good guys left to go to the competition. We needed a turnaround.”
The team worked with Derrick on leadership and won new key contracts which were higher margin than before. This provided a much-needed boost to profits which helped to reduce the risk of redundancies. They reinvested in their people through retraining, providing further job protection and opportunities to win further client contracts. They recruited new talent and won ‘top UK division’ 2 years running.
“Derrick’s work with myself and our leadership team turned us around. We had a couple of guys who had left come back. The ‘top team’ award was hard work, but the party afterwards made it worth it”
(John, Glasgow)

How it works
Your needs will be similar to the needs of others, but you will bring your own complex backgrounds, views, goals.
A typical coaching model is below, although I’ll adapt the approach to your needs and goals.
I’m keen for you to get as much from the coaching sessions as possible, so I don’t put fixed times on our sessions like some coaches do. Some clients ask if they can amend the timing of each session to allow some longer (more complex) and some shorter (simpler) sessions. I’m flexible to discuss any amendments you’d like.
ONE
Intro call
We get to know each other and agree if a coaching partnership is the best way forward for your needs. If so, we can agree some timescales and schedules.
We’ll cover what coaching is (and isn’t) and give you the opportunity to ask any further questions. It would be helpful to discuss your coaching goals.
1x Zoom or phone call:
~30-45 minutes.
TWO
Preparation
Coaching can challenge thinking and behaviours which may be quite long-standing. It is useful to know as much as possible about you so we can create the best plan for you.
I will provide you with a welcome pack including some further reading, links and quizzes which I hope are helpful.
Welcome pack with online support.
THREE
Discovery session
We’ll kick off our coaching partnership and discuss any questions you have about the welcome pack and the coaching approach.
Usually, new clients will have a lot to ‘get off their chest’ about the challenges they face, so this call is typically one of the longer ones we’ll have.
1x Zoom or phone call:
~90 minutes.
FOUR
Coaching sessions
A series of calls to progress your goals. We’ll look in depth at where you’ve come from, where you want to go and what could help or hinder you in getting there.
We’ll build a realistic and flexible plan and schedule for you covering your immediate and longer-term goals.
4-12x Zoom or phone calls: ~60-90 minutes.
FIVE
Sustainer sessions
A series of review calls to check that the plan continues to fit with your changing life, and that you’re making progress towards your goals.
This is an opportunity to get some support, tools or approaches to help with new behaviours and habits. You can test new ideas with my support.
1-3x Zoom or phone calls:
~20-30 minutes.
SIX
Take-away
We’ll hand over the reins of your change to you, with support passing from me to the people you have around you; your family, friends, neighbours, colleagues and team.
This is where your new life becomes real and sustainable. I will pass you documents and tools to support your journey.
Take-away pack with support where needed.
