About me
Everyone’s unique so if you’re looking for Business and Career coaching, do you want it to be a generic?
We all have our own personal ambitions, some are looking for a new role after redundancy, for others it might be to double the size of their business, or alternatively you might be looking for a better work life balance. Whilst others may have the drive, but need some support shaping the vision. This is where I can help.
As an accredited coach with more than 25 years’ business experience across a variety of industries and disciplines, I’ll work with you to understand your goals, build a personalised plan and support you to deliver against them.
One size does not fit all, so why buy off the peg, when you can have tailored!
Having worked in change management and transformation across a variety of industry sectors and levels for more than two decades, I’ve had the privilege to have learned from some amazing and inspiring individuals and had the opportunity to lead, coach and develop some incredible people and teams who have experienced these types of challenges.
I have a passion to get the best from people and through my proven PTP (Platforming/Transforming/Performing) coaching framework and understanding their needs, enablers and blockers, I’ve enabled those I’ve coached to develop the practical skills to positively deal with the changes that both their professional and personal lives have presented and worked with them to build clear plans to charter their future course.
So, if you’re at a crossroads in your personal or professional life, why not reach out for an initial free 30 min call? There's no obligation – just an opportunity to chat and explore how we can work together to find the right transformational path for you.
What To Expect
Through authentic, curious and open questioning and discussion, I’ll work with you to really understand your needs, how we can transition you towards your desired future state and how to deal with the challenges to reach your goals.
My proven PTP coaching framework follows 3 distinct stages:
- PLATFORMING – Identifying the challenges you've faced in the past, where you are now and what the enablers and blockers are to where you want to be.
- TRANSFORMING – Harnessing the opportunities available, developing and delivering a clear plan to deliver the changes you need to achieve your goals.
- PERFORMING – Embedding these changes and ensuring they stick so that you continue on the right path ongoing and enjoy continued success.
Following this framework, I can help you:
- Find direction through career change or pivot coaching, redundancy, job search and back to work support
- Improve your CV and LinkedIn profile
- Develop your personal brand
- Prepare and practise for interviews
- Develop direction for you and your Business
- Plan and manage change and transformation
- Transform your thinking
- Clarify your motivations and drivers
- Achieve your goals
- Improve your confidence
- Enhance your self-esteem
- Develop resilience
- Improve your presence, leadership and influencing skills
- Reduce anxiety, feel the fear, and do it anyway!
- Improve work/life balance
Across the stages, I’ll work with you to build your personal toolkit, skillset and mindset, both preparing and supporting you in addressing the challenges that you may experience on the journey.

Recent Testimonials
“I found Gavin to be one of the best leaders I have worked with, he was measured and unflappable, focusing on outcomes rather than just actions.”
”Working with Gavin was truly enjoyable, his enthusiasm was contagious and incredibly refreshing.”
“Gavin is a transformative leader able to bring significant change and best practice to an organisation.”
"I honestly can't thank Gav enough for everything he has done for me. When we met I had been redundant for three months and was just feeling lost and deflated, I believed I was doing everything wrong and had lost all of my confidence. Gav was so approachable and during our weekly conversations I learnt so much more about my core self and not the corporate manager I had been. Gav has guided me through my personal branding and my new journey for a different career that even I didn't realise I wanted. Gav is truly inspirational, he isn't concerned about sharing his own journey, which gave me the confidence that I was working with the right person. He is right Redundancy does suck, but working with Gavin you will get your true sense of self and be set for success. I have also since landed my dream role helping others."
"Gavin is a great guy and a real pleasure to work with. He has been through redundancy a number of times himself so he knows exactly what you will be going through and what it takes to find your next great role. He has helped me build my confidence back up and given me great advice on my CV, my brand on social media and helped me look at the bigger picture when choosing my next opportunity. I highly recommend Gavin, you will not regret it"
"Reached out when I was in need and helped with my interview skills, very knowledgeable and friendly, and helped me work out where I was going wrong. Landed a job with the next interview! Would definitely recommend."
"I had a great coaching session with Gavin. He gave me some new skills to use in interviews and we did some role playing so I was well prepared. The best thing is I got the job! Thanks Gavin!"
"Do you ever feel lost in the job search world, whether you have been made redundant and your world has turned upside down or you have that daily nagging feeling that you meant to do something different, some thing that aligns with your core but you are not sure what that is!
I completely empathise. A month ago this was me! I was lost in the volumes of advice and concern from friends and family, I felt worthless and rejected by the world and seriously questioning if I had any skills. Then I met Gavin Morden, to say he was a beacon in the storm would be an understatement. Everything I was feeling and experiencing he totally understood, he shared his personal experiences and made me realise I wasn't going crazy and that a plan was needed. I have been working with Gavin as his client for the past 4 weeks and feel like I have my life back. I know such much more about myself, my skills, my values and have the confidence in my abilities. I have also gained valuable tools for my toolbox, I feel re energised and ready to pursue a career path that 3 months ago I would have shut down in a heartbeat.
If you are going through this journey, I would highly recommend reaching out to Gavin, check out his webpage and have a chat. You will love the difference he makes and the clarity you gain."
"Your career development coaching model is excellent. You are such a transformative leader, with such an encouraging positive style. Your ideas were very energising too."
"All your advice was spot on and it gave me so much more confidence. So again thank you so much."
