High Character Leadership
For high responsibility individuals
with high responsibility mindsets
Aurelius. Solomon. Lincoln. King. Wilberforce. Nightingale. Teresa. Cadbury. Elizabeth. Rockefeller.
History’s greats recognised two things.
The challenge of position.
The need for character.
Do you?
Power. Pressure. Expectation. Isolation. Status. Tiredness. Options. Temptation. Adulation. Pride. Hubris. Complacency.
High success and responsibility is awash with character traps that are outsized in hazard, frequency and consequence vs the norm.
Today’s successful people significantly under invest in personal character development compared to their peers down the ages.
Fuelled by performance rationalism, a lack of trusted wisdom and support and a low level of public empathy for its struggles.
We are that support. We work one-to-one with individuals operating at the pinnacle of their disciplines navigating this reality.
People who recognise their character as both asset and liability. Who recognise that investing in it is not only healthy for them but has spin off benefits for other areas of life.
For some people, it may even represent the last great challenge to conquer: themselves.
Sound familiar? Let’s talk.
This goes beyond good leadership. It is about who you are beyond simply your professional goals.
Whether it is becoming a better person, spouse, parent, partner or friend, that journey begins and ends with character transformation.
Trusted. Discreet. Experienced.

“John is a uniquely gifted coach and advisor. He brings a warmth and wisdom that combines a deep and practical understanding of business challenges with a profoundly human empathy.

What is our approach?
Physical fitness has a fixed reality to it: some things help more than others, some don’t at all and particular things happens when you do it well. It is the exactly same with character development.
We take those patterns that have pedigree across the wisdom traditions, supported by social science, and contextualise them to your challenges.
What is the investment?
Our typical starting programme is a 6 - 12 month process. We do have a shorter, online introduction but we encourage an engagement that pursues change in context beyond an introductory phase.
Our Gold Package is aimed at those who want extended in person support: in person retreats, travel, in person moments of application etc.
