Leadership Coaching and Conflict Resolution to the Impact Sector
Leadership Mentoring for Senior Executives
For those who lead at the highest level, real support can be hard to find.
This is mentoring for CEOs, directors, trustees and senior leaders who carry the weight of responsibility — and are looking not for answers, but for space to reflect, reframe, and renew their leadership with clarity and purpose.
Experienced Leadership Deserves a Different Kind of Support
At this stage, leadership can feel both deeply rewarding and uniquely isolating.
You’re expected to hold vision, steer through complexity, and make decisions that ripple across organisations. Yet few roles allow space to pause, think freely, and explore what leadership means now — to you.
Leadership mentoring for senior executives
Executive mentoring offers exactly that: a rare, confidential space to reconnect with your purpose, examine legacy-level questions, and deepen your impact. This isn’t remedial support. It’s about expanding your perspective, staying grounded, and continuing to grow, long after others assume you’ve arrived.
Mentoring Grounded in Real Leadership Experience
I know the CEO role inside out — because I’ve lived it. With 24 years as a CEO, I bring first-hand insight into the complex, often unseen dynamics of senior leadership. I understand the pressures of carrying vision and responsibility at scale — and what it takes to lead with integrity over time.
Now, I work exclusively in executive mentoring, partnering with experienced leaders who want to lead not just effectively, but intentionally and authentically. My approach is grounded in trust, values and perspective — not consultancy or performance metrics.
This is peer-level mentoring for directors and other senior figures who want a thought partner – someone who listens deeply, challenges wisely, and respects the lived reality of leadership at the top.
What We Might Explore Together
Every conversation is shaped by your needs, but themes often include:
-
Navigating leadership transitions – retirement, succession, or shifts in role
-
Leading through complexity, fatigue, or external uncertainty
-
Exploring alignment between personal values and organisational direction
-
Creating reflective space in the midst of high-pressure decision-making
-
Defining and living your leadership legacy
This is senior leadership support designed to meet you where you are – and take you where you want to go next.
Hear From Executive and Board Leaders
“My conversations with Iain gave me the space to think at a different altitude — beyond day-to-day operations and into what really matters in this chapter of my strategic leadership. It’s been invaluable.”
— Board Chair, national disability inclusion charity
Clients often describe the experience as steadying, insightful, and quietly transformative. It’s not about radical shifts — it’s about renewed perspective, deeper clarity, and decisions made with greater alignment and ease.
