Tim Davies

Tim is an exceptional coach who brings both value and insight to every session. His personable nature and genuine curiosity about his clients’ work and personalities make each interaction feel both natural and profoundly valuable. What consistently impresses me is his ability to offer incredibly relevant and poignant insights - often with very limited information to go on. Tim has a rare ability to steer conversations organically, gently guiding you toward realisations that feel like your own. This makes the learning stick and the growth feel authentic. He strikes a good balance between practical business advice and deeper mindset strategies, helping you develop not just as a professional, but as a person navigating the complexities of work and leadership. I can’t recommend Tim highly enough.

Tim is invaluable. He has a rare intersection of skills blending professional coaching, leadership experience, domain expertise and genuine care. He’s helped me navigate some really tricky situations and also coaches a senior team member, maintaining boundaries and confidentiality. I highly recommend Tim.

I had the absolute pleasure of working with Tim as my coach for 6 months and honestly, what a game-changer. Tim brings this rare combo of straight-talking honesty, deep insight, and real care that helped me and my team grow in ways I didn’t expect. He challenged us in big areas like strategic planning, held space for the tough conversations, and always brought clarity when things felt messy or uncertain. Whether it was leadership, direction, or just figuring things out mid-chaos, Tim showed up fully and helped us do the same. Can’t recommend him enough. If you get the chance to work with him, take it. You’ll grow faster, lead stronger, and have a few laughs while you’re at it.

Tim has provided invaluable coaching and mentoring to myself and my team as we've transitioned from a startup to an established international, multi-sector business. Additionally, his expert insights have been extremely helpful as we’ve launched our new division. I have no hesitation in recommending him as a coach and mentor to first-time CEOs and startup founders as they plan, launch, consolidate, and grow their companies.

Working with Tim Davies as our coach and mentor has been valuable and inspiring, and has helped us develop and grow in new directions. Tim’s wide-ranging level of expertise has also assisted us to solve problems and find new answers and solutions as we move ahead. We have been delighted to collaborate with Tim and look forward to working together on future projects.

In June, I applied for the Independent Publishers Guild Mentorship Scheme and was paired with Tim Davies. Throughout the mentorship, I expanded my knowledge considerably and Tim helped me navigate various challenging situations. Our conversations helped me gain confidence in my skills and grow into my role. Thank you very much, Tim, for sharing your experience and mentoring me over these three months. Thank you also to the IPG for offering the mentorship programme and pairing me with a great mentor!

I had the pleasure of working with Tim shortly before I opened my own law practice and during the initial months of the business. His coaching was offered appropriately, respectfully, and always with good humour, and he was not afraid to broach difficult issues to achieve the best outcome. I always had the sense that he was well able to assess when to develop and build on a topic and when to hold off so as not to undermine my confidence. He never overreached or applied undue pressure and he had a genuine personal interest in the outcome of our sessions. I would have no hesitation in recommending Tim as a coach or mentor (and have done on several occasions).

Tim mentored myself and my fellow director for a number of years which were very tricky due to the pandemic. We found him very easy to work with. He was always well-prepared, structured our meetings well and provided excellent insights as well as challenging our assumptions. He was definitely an asset to the business and I would have no hesitation in recommending Tim as a coach or mentor to others.
