About me
Are you a seasoned or first-time CEO navigating complex challenges, or a startup founder or SME leader transitioning to an established business? Unlock your full potential as a CEO with my tailored coaching and mentoring.

As a CEO coach and mentor, I help CEOs, startup founders, and SME leaders develop the confidence, skills, and strategies needed to thrive. I’m their trusted sounding board and co-pilot.

With 40+ years of experience as a CEO, MD, Board Advisor, and senior exec., I have a nuanced understanding of the challenges for seasoned and first-time CEOs, and startup founders.

I know the pressures under which they operate. I’ve 'been there, done that, felt that'; facing high-stakes risks and decisions, leading through change, and overcoming setbacks.

I hold an ILM Level 7 Cert. for Senior Level Executive Coaches and Mentors (Oxford Brookes Business School). In addition to the Trusted Coach Directory, I’m a member of the EMCC and EdTech Hub network. I abide by the Global Code of Ethics for Coaches, Mentors, and Supervisors.

My approach is collaborative and informal; supporting my clients’ specific challenges and goals, often at pivotal points in their careers. I blend coaching and mentoring in a bespoke approach, designed to meet my clients’ unique needs.

Who I work with and how I help...
My clients include CEOs, startup founders, and SME leaders across diverse sectors, including publishing, PR, EdTech, technology, distribution, housing, engineering, and finance.

CEOs...
You may be familiar with these challenges faced by some of my clients:
* First-time CEO stepping up from their previous position as a functional head.
* Seasoned CEO experiencing Imposter Syndrome and a loss in confidence.
* MD looking to restructure and resize in difficult market conditions.
* CEO integrating a recently acquired business and building a new C-suite team.

Startup founders and SME leaders...
Here are some scenarios where I've helped my clients evolve:
* Startup founder transitioning to an established business, needing to scale as they grow.
* SME MD requiring soft skills coaching to manage conflict and difficult conversations.
* Startup founder looking to shift from ‘Vision Bearer’ to effective GM and CEO.
* SME COO stepping up to a board role, needing to engage confidently with investors.

Why work with me?
* Qualified and accredited.
* Tangible outcomes; achieving confidence and leadership excellence.
* Real world leadership experience; I understand what it takes to lead at the highest level.
* Tailored and collaborative; I combine coaching and mentoring for impactful results.
* Challenging and pragmatic; I provide insight, honest feedback, and unwavering support - with an often-needed sense of humour!

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.

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.
