Jamie grew up in an entrepreneurial family. He has vast experience of using coaching to enhance the bottom line while he worked in the UK and USA . His roles included business development broker for smaller businesses through to overseeing international strategy for rapidly growing international businesses such as Palm and Psion where he was director of business and strategy. In the UK he has also worked as an independent business consultant in the venture capital markets. Jamie's business acumen, hands on experience as a coach-manager, combined with his extensive knowledge of how to enhance individuals and teams in their thinking and effectiveness (gained through a 3-year sabbatical to study and practice Psychotherapy) is what makes Jamie such an effective coach for Entrepreneurs, managers and teams.
“For 16 years I worked for multinational companies in senior roles, this combined with my 4 years' training and experience as a professional therapeutic counsellor & therapist gave me unique insight into how to work with and motivate individuals and teams and make the experience as enjoyable and rewarding as possible. As a leader, manager, consultant and business relationship broker I used coaching extensively to bring out the best in my teams or relationships. It is my desire to nurture, grow and develop both people and organisations which has lead me to coaching as a profession” .
In or out of business, Jamie is also able to counsel people facing tough personal situations including divorce and loss of role, where they need to deal with things at a deeper level than coaching alone would normally address, to enable them to move on positively.
Although Jamie has a lot of business experience he won't dictate how he thinks businesses and people should do things. Instead, he asks just the right questions to help you develop your own strategies for your business and personal or team effectiveness. His practical approach will enable you to not only think smarter but to put that new wisdom into action. Clients become able to develop skills to enhance performance during the coaching program and beyond.
