Tom Glynn-Marron

Are you tired of still not doing the thing you know matters to you?

I work with people who have something they really want to do : start a business, make a career change, pursue a creative idea, or simply change the way they’re living - but keep finding themselves stuck in the same loop.

Some of these might be familiar:

“I’ve just turned 40 and realised I’m still talking about the same thing.”

“I’m thinking of quitting my job, but I’m terrified I’ll bottle it.”

“Someone else has launched basically the thing I’ve been talking about doing for years.”

“I’ve been made redundant, and suddenly I have to decide whether I’m actually going to back myself.”

Or maybe it’s simply:

“I’m terrified I’m going to look back in five years and realise I still never did the thing I kept saying mattered to me.”

That feeling can get very painful. Especially when you’ve made plans before, got excited, then somehow ended up back in the same place. After a while, it can start to chip away at your trust in yourself and generally just rob life of enjoyment. I would know - I have been there!

In my experience, most people in this position don’t need another productivity hack or someone telling them to “just take action”. If you've been wanting this for a while, often there’s more going on underneath.

Fear of failing. Fear of looking stupid. Overthinking. Perfectionism. Comparing yourself with other people. Not feeling quite ready. Or just having one part of you that really wants to go for it, while another part keeps hitting the brakes.

That’s the kind of work I love doing.

My coaching is practical, but we’ll also look at what’s actually happening underneath the surface when you try to move forward. I use a mix of coaching approaches, including Gestalt, NLP, and somatic work, to help you understand the patterns that keep pulling you back.

Then we start putting things into the real world.

Not by forcing huge leaps, but by taking meaningful steps, testing things, having conversations, making decisions, and seeing what happens.

And we try to have some fun doing it ;)

The aim isn’t to turn you into some hyper-productive version of yourself.

It’s to help you stop circling the thing that matters to you, understand what’s been getting in the way, and start trusting yourself enough to actually move.

• “I was skeptical to start, but coaching with Tom completely changed my life!!! I spoke to Tom when I felt stuck and not taking action on my business idea, and I felt understood by him straight away. The interactions were very easy and never forced. I really didn’t know what to expect, and Tom made sure he explained everything and always made me feel safe and heard in the sessions. I especially appreciate his empowering coaching approach, where he gently guides you to find your answers. This process helped me overcome my limiting beliefs and step into my new identity to pursue my wildest dreams. I am now building my own business. Coaching with Tom has been an amazing journey worth every penny. Without Tom, it would have possibly taken me years to make the necessary changes. He’s an amazing human being and I definitely recommend!!” Product Design Lead
• "Tom's life coaching course has been one of the best investments I've made in myself. Previously, I had tried various self-help techniques and read numerous books to tackle the negative behaviours in my life, but none were as effective as the personalised approach Tom provided. Unlike other methods, Tom’s coaching directly addressed the causes behind my challenges, allowing me to develop a clearer understanding and more effective strategies for change. Entering the program, I expected to come away with practical tools to manage my habits and improve my overall well-being. However, the experience far exceeded these expectations, not only equipping me with effective systems but also deepening my understanding of the root causes behind my behaviours, which has fundamentally changed how I approach my daily life. What sets Tom's coaching apart is his exceptional ability to listen deeply and ask the right questions, guiding me to my own realisations and helping construct a tailored, sustainable framework for progress. This personal touch, combined with his genuine care and expertise, has mad the journey both transformative and rewarding. Thank you, Tom, for helping me get back on track and for giving me the tools I need to continue progressing." Head of Marketing
• "The coaching Tom gave me, involved the most impactful conversations I have had in many years, which enabled me to significantly improve my working life. When we spoke, I was navigating a significant life change, with the birth of my second child. I had also been through a period of high stress at work, which led to burnout a few years previously, which had led me to feeling disconnected and directionless professionally. I was therefore trying to understand how to fit my life together around the competing priorities of work, family and myself. In a way that would help me find meaning and passion at work again without leading back to burnout. Tom’s approach allowed me to see this challenge clearly, instead of as a confusing range of impossible barriers. He did this by helping me deconstruct what I wanted from life through prioritisation (from finances to leisure time), then working step by step through the range of realistic options that would tick as many of my priorities as possible. What was then very helpful was that he helped me construct a range of future options that would deliver for me, that I could use for direction, depending on the future opportunities that could present themselves. The thing that really impressed me about the way Tom works is how he is able to combine a personal and informal approach, with a clear structure supported by his sharp insight. This cut through the noise and helped me find clarity efficiently, and after our sessions I immediately felt much happier and more confident – because I had found the direction I needed. This has led to me being appointed to a new role at work, which has been an enormous improvement for me personally and professionally. " Head of Corporate Sustainability for large multinational

• "Tom is an incredible coach & I can't recommend him highly enough and I am so grateful for the support, guidance & warm approach he always provides as I navigate my inner world. As I transitioned from being employed to self-employment I needed support to stay on track and work through difficult blocks and emotions that I anticipated would come up. Over my time working with Tom he has helped me work through all of that and so much more! Always able to see the bigger picture, the practical work has enabled me to stay focussed and the deep work of self discovery Tom has given me the space to explore has opened up many doors for me, freeing up parts of me that I had kept hidden for years. I feel more free to be myself than I have felt in a long time and am grateful to Tom for the invaluable part he has played in this. I look forward to continuing our work together!"
