About me
Leadership and high-stakes decisions are demanding enough without having to face them in isolation.

Drawing on 35 years' experience as a Board Advisor, CEO, MD and director in publishing and related industries, I help senior leaders think more clearly, make better decisions and navigate the moments that define careers. Midlands-based, I coach in person and online.

Here are some challenges I've helped transitioning leaders overcome:
~ New MD experiencing a dip in confidence and Imposter Syndrome.
~ First-time CEO promoted from a functional role, facing resistance from ex-peers.
~ Externally appointed SD struggling to navigate organisational complexity and politics.
~ FD wanting to strengthen boardroom presence and authority.
~ Founder evolving from entrepreneurial 'vision bearer' to fully fledged CEO.

And here are some I've helped established leaders work through:
~ CEO balancing day-to-day operations with the demands of the board and investors.
~ COO facing burnout, needing to prioritise and delegate more effectively.
~ MD of a UK division navigating cultural disconnect with a US parent company.
~ SVP managing conflict and difficult conversations.
~ VP deciding whether to pursue promotion or move elsewhere.
Do any of these resonate?

Every leader needs a thinking partner. I help my clients tackle difficult decisions with greater perspective and confidence. I'm their trusted sounding board and leadership co-pilot,

My coaching supports new CEOs, C-suite executives and founders establishing themselves in their role, and experienced leaders navigating fresh challenges.

I work across diverse sectors including publishing, edtech, fintech, technology, housing, manufacturing, legal and accountancy.

Why work with me?
~ 35 years' leadership and commercial experience.
~ Tailored blend of coaching and mentoring.
~ Honest, challenging conversations grounded in commercial reality.
~ ILM Level 7, EMCC accredited, EdTech Hub and IPG Mentor.

My coaching isn't built on theory alone. It's shaped by decades of leading businesses, making difficult decisions, and learning from success and setbacks.

I offer a confidential space to test ideas, challenge assumptions and work through the issues that are hardest to solve alone... with a few laughs along the way!

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.
