Start to transform your life today 

Are you feeling stuck in your life or career, overwhelmed by life's challenges, or uncertain about your next steps in life? You're not alone—and you don't have to navigate this journey by yourself. 

As a manager are you struggling with leading and managing your team and would like me to come alongside you to help achieve those seemingly impossible objectives?

As a dedicated Life, Careers, and Executive Coach, I partner with ambitious and driven individuals who are ready to unlock their full potential, stop talking and start taking action to create meaningful change in their lives and careers. 

Life Coach

I discovered my love and passion for helping people fix their life's situations, and decided to train to be a Life Coach. I thoroughly relish creating an environment so that clients become the very best they can be. 

As a Life Coach I will give you the time, space and opportunity to have an honest discussion with me about your dreams, goals and the results you so desire. We will then work together, using the best tried and tested coaching methods/tools to help you achieve your goals.  

My approach is to help clients change the way they think when dealing with life's challenges by focusing on the now and working on the solutions. I am a believer that everyone possesses amazing talents, experiences, skills and opportunities that no one else has ever had or will have.

With over 700 hours of coaching, I've supported clients to achieve positive outcomes across a wide range of subjects, including: 

• Self esteem, self worth and self confidence - Clients have felt better about themself, believing in their abilities, thinking more positively, having healthier relationships, and feeling empowered to live confidently. This directly contributed to their personal development. 
• Work life balance   - Clients have less stress, more personal life time, greater enjoyment in both work and life, and a renewed sense of purpose and wellness. 
• Health and wellness recovery  - Clients have achieved their recovery goals, established healthy habits, effectively managed stress, felt empowered in their health journey and and experienced improved overall wellness.
• De-cluttering  - I have helped clients develop sustainable systems, leading to a mindset shift that has led to a consistently organised space, reduced stress, and increased focus and wellness.
• Managing change  - My clients have gained confidence in navigating transitions with clarity, resilience, and now have a proactive approach.
• Strengthening your faith  - I have helped clients cultivate a deeper, more personal, and resilient faith.

I have led several HR functions including, Resourcing, Employee Relations,  Equality & Diversity & Inclusion, Learning and Development and most recently Organisational Development.

Executive Coach 

To date I have helped and supported managers on:

Lack of strategic focus:  Helped leaders prioritise by using a range of effective systems to focus on strategic goals 

Overwhelmed and Burnout: Coached leaders to delegate outcomes (not just tasks) to empower their team; helped them to set boundaries and focus on high impact tasks.

Avoiding difficult conversations and situations: I have helped leaders develop the necessary frameworks to boost their confidence when having difficult conversations; address issues early and directly preventing escalation and helping them with right mindset that reframes how they address issues that lead to caring leadership

High employee turnover costs: Helped leaders understand the need to prioritise employee morale and engagement as key to staff retention; coached them to conduct “stay interviews” to address issues before resignation and helped them develop career growth and development plans for staff. 

Other themes included:

• Performance management coaching, leading to increased personal and professional development
• Emotional intelligence and resilience, crucial for wellness and effective relationships
• Time management 
• Leading and managing change 

My tailored executive coaching will  help you improve your performance at work, develop strong leadership skills and navigate those challenges that top-level decision makers face. My role is to enhance your work performance, build leadership skills and navigate high level challenges.

My approach to executive coaching is one where our executive coach partners with you to foster increased productivity, better performance, enhanced communication, and stronger relationships, all contributing to career progression. I will work with you to help you gain greater self-awareness, understand conflict management, boost resilience, identify blind spots and any limiting beliefs, ultimately leading to respect, team spirit, and improved business results. 

I will also act as a sounding board to help you focus on improving your game, productivity, and overall performance, developing them as both individuals and impactful leaders.

Clients have commented that they leave my coaching sessions with a renewed sense of purpose, direction and clarity.  My style is very much one that will enable the client to generate lasting solutions, actions and strategies from the very first coaching.

Comments from clients are that my coaching approach is also warm, friendly, fun, action-orientated, that provides a supportive and encouraging atmosphere to bring about successful outcomes.  

I use a range of coaching models and focus on systems coaching approach. 

My role as a Coach is the following:

You reap what you sow - I do believe in applying the principle of reaping what you sow in life. The coaching approach is one of developing actions and systems to help you achieve your goals and address your issues. 

Renewing your mind - Our coaching sessions will focus on  taking conscious and deliberate steps to transform your thoughts,  and perspectives to align them with your goals, values, and your desired outcomes.

Results focused - It is about helping you see the results that you desire from the free consultation meeting and throughout the coaching sessions.
Unexpected results - During our coaching sessions you will undoubtedly experience unexpected results you did not expect to have. 

Return on investment - My clients have often commented that they begin to see return on investment from the first coaching session, pointing to how effective they have become and seeing tangible changes in their lives.

Excellent feedback

Here are just some of the stories from satisfied clients:

Heather Brown - Self Employed 

At the time of meeting Lloyd I was at a crossroads in trying to decide what I really wanted to do with my life. Within our sessions we were able to explore my strengths and weaknesses and tease out the direction I wanted to head in. 

The results of coaching with Lloyd were that I became more pro-active in making positive decisions in regards to my future. I completed a business plan for a music events idea, I researched, paid for and completed training in Family Mediation and have now set up my own business. As well as the professional side of coaching we also set goals in regards to my personal health and getting healthier, this resulted in me setting targets in order to lose weight. I have also recommended Lloyd to other people who have also seen great results. Overall I would recommend Lloyd, as he is a professional person, who takes pride in the work that he does, and gets results.

Joyce Adu - Strategic Leader 

Lloyd has a gift for identifying strengths and talents in others. He is a wonderfully genuine and generous person, with a positive approach to people development.

Lloyd is a talented consultant and fabulous to work with. He is inspiring, honest and knowledgeable in all aspects of people management. He helped me to develop in my areas of strength and focus of my goals and aspirations. Lloyd was instrumental in my gaining momentum to pursue my goals and more importantly taking the action necessary to enable me to make the most of my strengths at work, leading to a fantastic career development opportunity.

Sean Chambers - Owner and Chief Executive of a Recruitment Company

I have enjoyed the time spent in my sessions with Lloyd. I have found it very helpful having another person so bounce my thoughts off and discussing my objectives. Lloyd has been very helpful with providing me with business ideas, as well as HR and management methods and principles which I will be using going forward. I found him to be a really funny, levelled and easy person to talk to and our sessions flew by such was the depths of our chats. Our sessions were thought provoking and Lloyd definitely came at me with questions that challenged me and some of my notions and really had me looking at myself. I would recommend Lloyd to anyone and can not praise him highly enough. It has been an absolute pleasure and well worth the time and experience.
