I support people to ignite their inspiration though purpose driven and heart led connection.
As a qualified life coach, with lived experience and understanding of the challenges faced by executive leaders, my passion and purpose is to work with like-minded creative, talented, visionary and committed people to help them to navigate their way to success through the most significant period of change that our people and planet have ever experienced.
MY AUTHENTIC SELF
I am proud to be a creative, passionate and committed husband and father of two incredible human beings. I believe in the power and importance of building trust, offering support and providing love as the foundation to any success.
I was born and raised in a highly creative environment. All my family are successful and talented musicians, artists and performers. Although my own career path didn’t follow the same route, music remains one of my true passions. As a singer and musician, I enjoy making powerful connections and draw inspiration through freedom of expression, improvisation and collaboration.
MY CAREER
I’m an experienced executive leader who has developed and led global organisations through transformational change by co-elevating a dynamic work culture built upon trust, purpose, authenticity, empowerment, and empathy. During my career I have found success across multiple industries, including financial services, hospitality, media and energy, within both corporate and not for profit sectors.

MY JOURNEY
Having experienced considerable obstacles to conventional learning as a child, alongside significant disruption and adversity, I have learned that it has been my ability to form powerful connections and adapt to challenging circumstances and environments that have enabled me, and those around me, to thrive.
My career path and leadership journey has been unconventional. As a teenager, whilst funding my way through college and university I worked as a Chef in a busy kitchen. This is where I began to learn and develop some very important leadership skills. In my early 20’s I left University seeking more excitement and purpose in my life. With my backpack and my bass guitar by my side I decided to travel the world.
Rather than pursuing academia, I chose to build my career, gaining experience working in different countries, adapting to different cultures and developing my skills across various industries.
By the time I was 40, I was appointed to the role of Chief Executive within an industry-leading global organisation working in the energy sector. Being appointed CEO at such a young age was not the result of a lifelong ambition to climb to the top of the corporate ladder. I can honestly say this was an organic process born out of my ability to authentically connect, care empower and support the incredible people who have shared my journey.
I believe in the power and importance of building trust, offering support and providing love as the foundation to any success.
STEPPING DOWN TO STEP UP
However, after serving 6 successful years as a Chief Executive, growing the business and leading transformation across the organisation, this high intensity environment and the high expectations I was placing upon myself began to have an impact on my health and wellbeing. In 2020 whilst leading my people and organisation through the unprecedented challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic, I began to experience the early signs of ‘burn out’.
After many years of serving the demands of board members, customers and global stakeholders, rather than feeling successFULL I was feeling successEMPTY. I desperately needed to reconnect to my authentic self and find a more fulfilling way to support others on their own unique purpose driven journey. Through trusted connection, deep listening and empathic understanding, I now help others to develop an unshakeable belief in themselves and establish the systems and process to achieve their own goals and create a better future
“Antony creates a safe and trusted coaching space that really helped me to connect to myself, which in turn helped me to uncover some important topics which are now at the forefront of my awareness. I can now recognise and adapt to these situations when they resurface, and I now feel empowered to take action.”

HOW I CAN HELP YOU
As a qualified life coach, with lived experience and understanding of the challenges faced by executive leaders, I work with like-minded creative, innovative, visionary and committed people to connect, adapt and thrive through the most significant period of change that our people and planet have ever experienced.
As someone who has discovered transformational change through the power of coaching, I greatly value my own coach and supervisor. I appreciate the positive impact of having someone who believes in me, someone who doesn’t believe the stories that I tell myself and someone who holds me accountable to a higher vision or better version of myself.
Living and working in times of great uncertainty and change will continue to be incredibly challenging unless we feel fully supported, psychologically safe, and display the ability and character to adapt in pursuit of our dreams.
