Douglas works with high performing individuals and teams to intentionally use their mindsets as tools to accelerate their performance even further.
His focus when coaching is to guide individuals to investigate ways to understand and “hack our brains”. Utilising a range of techniques from different psychological approaches, Douglas supports individuals to harness this powerful tool.
Working with Senior Business Leaders, Investors and Founders, he points that:
“Through exploring and understanding how one thinks and reacts, you can learn how to control your perceptions and mindset in the most powerful way. In a leadership position, self-awareness and awareness of the people you are leading is a key starting point.”
Working with Douglas as your private coach you will gain a space to accelerate your personal or professional growth in a direction that is meaningful for you. You will also access an awareness and set of skills that will benefit you beyond the coaching programme or conversations. Douglas will be an honest and objective ally in your personal journey.

After completing a MChem at the University of Oxford, he began his career in M&A Advisory as a Strategy Consultant, and then worked in retail at Sainsburys PLC in trading and latterly in logistics.

Working with Carrie will give you a safe space to truly connect with yourself. You will gain a deeper understanding of how you got where you are. You will be in tune with where you are at present. You will learn how to listen deeper, to find where you want to go and have the courage to let it power you forward.
Having creative expression and human empowerment as her number one value, Carrie is inspired to work with clients who are actively looking to live a full expression of themselves. Individuals who are looking to ‘find’ their voice, their path, their power.

Szabi’s passion is to elevate human performance and consciousness. Specifically, he coaches to elevate one’s mental performance. Not being there to be liked nor to judge clients, Szabi makes a point of working exclusively with dedicated clients that are determined to achieve at least strong if not extraordinary results.
In his practice, he is bringing a deep personal understanding that beneath cultural differences there is a psychology common to all humanity, where anyone is relatable. Connecting at that deeper level is what he does in his coaching as it’s where the tougher inner work resides.
Having also completed and continuing on many personal development, healing, and training courses to expand the limits of his own mind, body, and spirit, his coaching practice is enriched by holistic knowledge and the imperative of a growth mindset.
Working with Szabi you will rewrite distorted and limiting narratives about your past to face your present and future with greater resilience and vitality. You will gain the tools and mental models to change your mindset to a more resourceful state. You will see light where previously you saw only dark. You will feel empowered to change from being passive to being a creator of your life.
Szabi recognises mental performance coaching to be similar to physical performance coaching. Just like going to the gym, it takes consistency and effort to achieve results. By putting in the work you can create extraordinary outcomes for you together.
Szabi’s personal experience coupled with his career background led him naturally to coach mainly but not exclusively, executives, investors, and founders. Recently, he is increasingly engaging with individuals and couples coaching them around their intimate relationship challenges.
Szabi is an iDiscover 360 Certified Coach. He holds an MBA from INSEAD and a BSc in Economics from Warwick University UK. He also holds two University Diplomas in Economics (License & Maîtrise) from Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne. In his professional career, he applied his adventurous and international spirit in his career in impact investing and ventures internationally.

Ben sees Coaching as his vocation. It is a deeply meaningful craft that allows him to contribute, in his way, to creating what Charles Eisenstein calls “the more beautiful world our hearts know is possible”. One person at a time.
He focuses on coaching C-level executives, directors, and senior management. Recognising each client’s mind as unique, like every person has a unique DNA or fingerprint, Ben reinvents and tailors his work to each person he works with.
“The way we see the world and the way we see ourselves determine the actions we take and the results we get. So, I work at the level of ‘seeing’. My focus is on a person’s Being.
I do believe that who you are Being is everything.”
Working with Ben as your private coach you will experience an extraordinary sense of what is possible. You will see your own greatness. You will feel more at peace with your past. You will feel an immense amount of gratitude and love for yourself. You will take ownership of your capacity to create. And you will experience miraculous results.
