About Us
Our passion lies in helping organisations work smarter when it comes to executive performance, potential, and development.
We partner with clients to:
- Provide access to a global network of over 200 experienced coaches and mentors, each personally matched to the specific needs of every assignment.
- Advise on success criteria, tailor development programmes, and deliver insightful data on coaching objectives, investment, and impact.
- Offer executive assessment services that measure performance and potential, linking directly to development strategies.
Our clients include FTSE-listed companies, global organisations, start-ups, and third-sector institutions across both the private and public sectors.
“We help you find great coaches for your leaders, set them up for success, keep you informed and provide you with insights – so you know exactly what the coaching is focusing on, exactly how your leaders compare with leaders in other organisations and exactly what the impact of the coaching has been”
Approach
We Listen
Every brief is different. We seek to understand the context (for both the coachee and the organisation), along with desired outcomes, level of internal support and of course, your budget.
We Match
We go through a rigorous matching process, personally identifying 2-3 coaches who we feel best match the brief and will therefore deliver optimal success.
We Design
We tailor each coaching programme to ensure maximum success. All programmes involve a tripartite and end review. Occasionally we might also recommend a 360 and / or psychometric assessment.

Our Values
As we’ve grown, our values have become increasingly central to who we are and how we work. The Coaching Solution was founded with a clear and simple intent — to conduct business in the way we would wish business to be conducted with us.
At The Coaching Solution, our values are not statements on a wall; they are principles we live by. We act with integrity, spend our clients’ money as carefully as our own, and consistently go the extra mile to deliver exceptional results.
We are proud to be known for our honesty, reliability, and commitment to partnership. Our clients trust us implicitly to listen, to deliver on our promises, and to work alongside them to achieve better services and solutions for their leaders.
Giving Back
Alongside our own charitable initiatives and the local causes supported by our coaches, we are proud to contribute to a global charity at the end of each year.
In previous years, we have supported Evertreen, an organisation that plants trees around the world through local farmers — creating environmental, social, and economic benefits in communities such as Mozambique, Madagascar, and Guatemala.
This year, we are supporting Concern Worldwide, an international humanitarian organisation committed to ending extreme poverty and driving sustainable change in lives and communities. For every coachee we work with, we are donating a duck — providing families not only with nutrient-rich eggs, but also natural crop protection as the ducks feed on locusts.
The more leaders we coach, the more families we help — creating a ripple effect of positive impact across the world.
