How it works
Welcome: Meet your host and the group, and set the tone for a supportive, LGBTQ+-affirming space.
Guided reflection: Step back and explore what matters most to you, what you're good at and what you want more or less of.
Live coaching : Watch a short coaching conversation with a volunteer, so you can see what coaching feels like.
Small-group discussion: Share experiences, hear fresh perspectives and realise you're not the only one feeling this way.
Close and what's next: Final reflections and your one next step to take. Plus how to keep going if you'd like support.
I'm James. I spent about 20 years in marketing and comms, leading teams and navigating change. I realised the part I loved most wasn't the campaigns. It was helping people feel clearer, braver and more themselves. So I trained as a coach.
I'm big on creating a conversation where people can say the thing they actually mean, without feeling dragged through some heavy journey. I'm supportive, I'll challenge you, and yes, I'll probably make you laugh at least once.
What people say
"James was friendly and ensured all participants felt safe sharing personal experiences. The session was well-organised, interactive and reflective. It helped me turn my skills into a more authentic, empathetic leadership style."
"It's the first time I've ever thought about my leadership through the lens of my queerness — it opened up strengths I didn't even realise I had."
"The session was a great opportunity to reflect on our strengths as LGBTQ+ leaders and what may have held us back in the past. James creates a comfortable and safe space to share experiences as well as his own journey."
