Chris Mitchell

Leadership Coach - Leeds

I’m a fully accredited Executive and Leadership Coach, Business Advisor, and active Non-Executive Director. I’ve delivered more than 450 hours of 1:1 coaching and executive support to high-profile professionals and business owners alike.

Over my career, I’ve developed a keen understanding of the unique challenges faced by leaders and managers of some of the highest-pressure teams at major household brands, such as BBC, Microsoft, Kraft Heinz, and Adobe.

My corporate experience has inspired me to share my knowledge and insights with ambitious people struggling to take those next big steps. That might be running their own enterprises, sharpening leadership skills, or simply advancing their careers.

Who I Work With

I partner with senior executives, career risers, and business owners – people who know where they want to go but need help with accountability, building realistic expectations, and creating action plans that deliver results.

Whether you’re running your own business, scaling the corporate ladder, or simply need help improving your leadership and management skills, I can help you get where you want to be, faster. I will act as a supportive partner who can help you find the best growth techniques and opportunities based on what really works in the real world of work.

What I Provide

I offer a blend of three core coaching principles and areas:

1. Career Coaching: I put you in the driving seat of your career and support you in finding self-awareness of what matters to you. We’ll think creatively about the new opportunities you’d like to explore and how you can break free from feeling stuck.

2. Leadership and Management Coaching: Whether you're a new leader or a manager with years of experience, there’s still room to grow! Together, we’ll find you the balance you need, grow your confidence, and sharpen your skills.

3. Business Coaching: I help you work on your business, not just in it. We’ll explore your strategic vision, how to achieve it, and what problems you need to solve along the way.

Why Choose Me?

Holding yourself accountable for your leadership, career, and skill development is hard.
I blend coaching, mentoring, and guidance while helping my clients see the bigger picture. Instead of relying on the same systems and tools, I use my experience (and a humanistic approach) to cut through what’s getting in the way.

I will help you see your time as a resource, not a constraint.

I’m a straight-talker and an active listener. I’ll ask questions that help you explore your current constraints and the checkpoints you want to reach.

Whether you’re trying to build your business, lead new people, or take bold steps in your executive career, you should never be afraid to seek out help.
