Yesterday, I met Gary for lunch.

Gary was my second Executive Coaching client when I launched my coaching business back in 2018.

He came to me with a big vision: to double his business, build an independent, high-performing team, and ultimately create a business that could thrive without him at the helm every day.

It was a bold goal—one that would demand commitment, resilience, and no small amount of courage.

Gary and his team invested deeply, making brave decisions to grow, often navigating challenging situations and change.

Over five years, we worked together on strengthening business development, refining client relationships, and relentlessly focusing on contracts and proposals to drive new business.

It wasn’t a smooth journey. There were ups and downs, setbacks, and difficult moments when team members left or the path seemed unclear.

Success is rarely a straight line.

But Gary’s determination, paired with his team’s dedication, kept them moving forward.

And yesterday, as we sat together over lunch, we reflected on the result of that hard work.

Gary is now stepping back. The team he built and led is running the business full-time.

He has the freedom he dreamed of: flexibility, time to spend with family, and the ability to engage with clients on his terms, shaping his life around what matters most to him.

Gary has earned every bit of this next chapter.

His story is a testament to what’s possible with commitment and vision, and I couldn’t be prouder to have been part of his journey.

Congratulations, Gary, to you and your team for achieving this milestone.

You’ve made your dream a reality.

If you’re a leader looking to create more freedom and flexibility in your own business, and you want to create a team that feels accountable and empowered, then reach out.

Let’s have a conversation about how we can help you achieve the same transformation, or your own version of it.

Here’s to your future success, Gary, and to all who are ready to take the leap!

P.S. If you'd like to know how to build self-sufficient, resilient teams. You can join our free leadership workshop on the 8th of November.

🌍 Today is World Su***de Prevention Day 🌍

Mental health matters.
Now more than ever, we need to check in.

Have conversations.
Truly listen.

In leadership and business, we focus on performance, growth, and success.
But none of these can happen without well-being.

As a business coach, I talk about positive psychology and a growth mindset.
These are key to personal and professional success.

And the same applies to mental health.
One initiative close to my heart is Walk and Talk for Men St. Neots.

Here, we bring men together to support each other.
Our volunteer walk leaders are committed to creating a safe space.

A space where men can connect, share, and grow.
It’s a community focused on prevention.

On ensuring no one walks alone.
Mental health and leadership are deeply connected.

We must build strong, supportive communities—
In both business and life.

Let’s continue the conversation.

Not just today.
But every day.

📖 From late 2004 until 2010, I worked as a sales manager with a medical sales team in the South of England selling medical devices to healthcare organisations.

One day one of my team and I had a client meeting in London. The client

was a senior specialist nurse (we’ll call him Pete), and we were meeting to discuss how we might better support him in his work while exploring opportunities for our portfolio. Pete was a highly experienced nurse who’d been ‘worn down’ (his words) by the work.

The salesperson I was working with asked Pete questions about
his priorities and long-term aspirations, and Pete’s answers were incredibly negative.

I'd recently qualified as an NLP practitioner. Having a sense that there was a way to turn the meeting around, I recalled a question I repeated to myself when I was feeling stumped (and I still use it to this day).

‘What is the best question I can ask right now?’

It’s an invaluable prompt for creating a change in my own mental state and others’.

I turned to Pete and asked, ‘Do you mind if I ask a question?’ (top tip, ask permission to ask a question and you can then ask anything). 👀

‘Pete, what’s been your greatest achievement in the last twelve months? The thing you’re most proud of?’

He looked surprised then quickly said, ‘There isn’t anything. It’s been a terrible year.’

‘So, you’re telling me that in the whole of the last year, there isn’t anything you’ve achieved at work that you’re proud of?’

This seemed to shock him. There was a silence while he thought long and hard.

We waited.

Finally, Pete said, ‘Well, there’s the patient audit we did this year.’

‘A patient audit? Tell me more about that.’

He went on to tell us about the project he’d led – a trust-wide audit of over 1,000 patients occupying beds in the hospital. He explained how he’d coordinated it all, then used the data to build a business case – which led to an investment, which upgraded the beds across the trust. The follow-up audit revealed that this had significantly impacted the quality of care for patients.

A really impressive achievement, that he’d completely forgotten about.

The meeting transformed. Once Pete had tapped into the positive event and was explaining it and experiencing it again, everything changed – his posture, his body language, his attitude. Everything.

We ended up uncovering a significant opportunity that complemented his recent work and would deliver benefits to his service and future patient treatment. It was also valuable for our business.

It is possible to turn around difficult client meetings (and clients).

When you ask the right questions, you help your clients in ways they don’t realise are possible.

You can create opportunities that have benefits that are far reaching for your clients, for you and for the industry in which you operate.

Your potential in a sales or leadership role goes far beyond success in your business.

You can make a real difference in the world.

🙏🏽✅ Thanks to everyone who voted and commented on our poll yesterday.

📊💡 No surprises in the results (well perhaps just the one vote 🤐).

🙋🏽‍♂️🙋🏽‍♀️ 98% of LinkedIn leaders believing that Trust is crucial for performance.

🤯⛔ Whilst it might seem obvious... I've experienced many times that managers and sales professionals sometimes do things that undermine Trust!

👉🏽 I'm not pointing fingers, I've done the same myself in the past, until I became more aware of the consequences of my actions. It's not intentional, it's because they don't realise the impact they have.

💡🖐🏽🎙 If you'd like to learn more about the simple principles and actions you can take to strengthen Trust with your team and your clients, then we'll be covering them on our Leadership workshop on Friday morning.

✅🏆🎬 You are welcome to join us and the amazing business leader community we're developing at each of weekly workshops.
