Tech Leadership with humanity

Exceptional leaders have the power to change lives

A white metal coffee mug with the words what good shall I do this day written on it

Have you always had a sense that true leadership isn’t about authority? That kindness, compassion and helping people thrive in both work and life is so much more important than being in charge?

Yet somehow there’s still a sense that this is hard to achieve. It can look like those who are exceptional leaders must have always been this way.

Or that to grow as a leader requires setting aside your values of compassionate leadership in order to progress your career.

I believe everyone has it in them to lead with humanity. The challenge is knowing how to unlock your potential while remaining true to yourself.

And I can help you do exactly that.

Are you looking for help to progress as a leader?

Getting started can be hard. When you’re uncertain as to what’s required for the next level or are dealing with a full-on existing role, finding the time to reflect and figure out the steps to take is challenging.

I work with leaders at all levels, from those looking to grow from individual contributor or who find themselves as an “accidental leader”, to those looking to increase impact as an existing senior leader.

To define their own unique version of leadership with humanity.

As a coach I’ll partner with you to understand your strengths, develop your skills and find your confidence to become an exceptional leader.

Getting there may be closer than you think!

Feedback from people I’ve coached

"I was on the fence about which path to take in my career. In the course of our sessions, Clem helped me validate a path forward, identify and clear blockers on that path, and to make a plan for the next steps. To do this he asked insightful questions, helped me reframe some unhelpful messages, get moving again, and kept me accountable. He provided the right balance of challenge and supportiveness to ensure I kept moving forward in a meaningful way."

Corey Latislaw, Fractional CTO
"I worked with Clem as a coach during a challenging period in my career. His coaching helped me to reset my perspective, to put some hard times into context and regain my confidence. Through the coaching process he helped me realise that I had all the necessary ingredients inside myself. It was a very valuable and developmental experience."

Doug Read, Technology Leader
"Clem is a fantastic coach. He has a gentle yet firm way of getting you to think for yourself about what you're doing, where you have been, and where you want to go. You end up thinking more clearly, more intentionally, and ultimately more successfully about these things. I would highly recommend him both for those in leadership positions and for anyone looking to support high-performing teams (his workshop on "feedback", for example, is absolute gold)."

Tim Benjamin, CTO, Continuo Foundation
"Thanks to Clem, I’ve got a variety of different tools and mechanisms to help me confidently communicate and work with different leaders across the business. His coaching has enabled me to step back from being the one who always takes on everything, to coaching others to take ownership and accountability, resulting in a more scalable way of working."

Jo Sheldon, Operations Manager, Parallax
"Clem has been a delight to work with and be coached by; his insightful digging, probing and reframing of my approach to both existential and hyper-specific problems was incredibly helpful in getting me to figure out both my frustrations and what was to be savoured and enjoyed within the bigger picture. I'd undoubtedly recommend Clem as a coach for anyone looking to understand their work (and wider) self better!"

Henry Bushell, Consultant, T5 Digital
“I wanted to say an enormous thank you. I've not made a change that complex since being in this role and due to your coaching, I could manage it with style”

Gwen Diagram, Head of Engineering, Glean
"With the help of Clem's coaching, I moved from my initial Analysis Paralysis through Getting sh*t done mode all the way to Enjoy your life. Coaching helped me to compartmentalise the areas I needed to focus on and appreciate how much was actually going well."

Beth Marshall, Senior Quality Engineer
“I found the coaching programme to be of incredible value. What I gained was confidence that I knew exactly what had been eating away at me — and better, I knew what to do about it.”
