About imageAbout image
Pressure is normal here. Targets move. People look to you. The work is to stay calm, decide cleanly, and keep delivery moving.

The grounding came on a small farm in eastern Poland. Start early. Finish what you start.
Discipline came later as a reconnaissance squad leader in the Polish Armed Forces. Fast risk reading, clean briefs, mission planning, debrief discipline. Decisions carried weight.
Then the UK. Senior roles in regulated, high-stakes operations with full P&L over £100M. The 3 a.m. call. Floor walks. Plain talk. A plan people can execute.
At home, heavy family responsibility sharpened empathy and resolve.

Now the work is simple: help senior leaders carry pressure well, decide faster, and lead teams that deliver across the UK, UAE and Poland.

What you will notice
  • Quieter mind when the stakes rise
  • Straighter conversations, clearer ownership
  • Shorter meetings that do the job
  • Delivery that moves without noise

Proof in plain sight
  • FTSE portfolio business: decision cadence tightened within six weeks. Fewer meetings. Clear owners. Delivery moved.
  • Healthcare scale-up: one team reset cut friction and lifted reliability across functions.
  • Family group: succession agreed and executed inside a quarter. Roles and reporting lines set and held.
How we work
Simple goals. Short cycles. Useful tools you use the same day. Behaviour and delivery are tracked, then adjusted. Straight talk. Confidential. No drama.

Why this holds in senior rooms
Grounded by real operations and full P&L. Shaped by reconnaissance training. Comfortable in mixed-nationality teams and boardrooms in the Gulf. On time. On brief. Discreet.

What’s on offer
  • Executive coaching for CEOs and senior leaders
  • Team workshops that fix trust, clarity and execution
  • Keynotes with real stories and moves leaders can use now
