I see coaching as a way of helping you develop a critical skill: better Life Sight.
There is always a reason people feel like they need some coaching. It might be you are facing a particularly challenging period, you have hunches about what to do but you aren’t quite sure. It might be that you are by all accounts doing well but something feels off, but you aren’t sure what. It might be that niggling feeling that appears as thoughts such as ‘Is this it?’, or ‘Something feels like it’s missing, but I am not sure what.’ or, ‘Am I missing something?’. Sometimes it’s hard to put into words at all, life doesn’t feel quite right.
Whatever the reason, an outside perspective, one able to help you step in and outside yourself, with tools and systems that help you to step back and challenge your assumptions and ideas, can be a very valuable investment.
I see coaching as a way of developing better Life Sight - becoming better at noticing what is most important, and what therefore what is less important (there are always trade off’s, they are just rarely brought into the open). To pressure test our assumptions and priorities, these can often be inherited from others and from younger versions of ourselves, sometimes that are still right, sometimes however they are not.
And to then to do something with this insight, without action there is little point in doing the work. Things have to change, whether it’s making a call on a big life decision, or a small necessary adjustment in who we want to become and what we want to be doing.
I work with Olympic Champions, CEO’s and Founders and other senior professionals from many industries and disciplines from Diplomatic Service, Pharma, FMCG, Law, Accounting, The Army, Theatre Production, Consulting and Medicine.
Whatever your background and the reason for wanting some coaching, the ultimate aim is to leave these sessions with the insight, tools and confidence to live a more fulfilling life.
“Grounded in psychology and strategy, I would highly recommend the course - not just for those actively seeking change, but for the 90% of us navigating the daily tension between ambition, personal growth, and balance.”
Jonathan Williamson, Commercial Director.
How I work with clients
There are three ways I work with clients.
One-On-One
We meet for 60-minute sessions, weekly or fortnightly, vritually via your preferred platform. The majority of my clients work with me over 3-6 months, often using the Life Sight system to help get under the bonnet of the situation and help shape and drive accountability for the change. This is a combination of virtual sessions and focused outside session work using my Life Sights E-Book.
The first conversation is simply that: a conversation.
There is no agenda and no commitment. It is a chance to understand what has brought you here, what feels unresolved, and whether coaching is the right way to help.
It is also a chance for us to see whether we think well together. Coaching is less about finding someone with the right answers than finding someone who helps you see your own situation more clearly.
If, by the end of our conversation, we both feel there is meaningful work to do, we can talk about what that might look like.
Friend Group Coaching
This is a relatively new offering - I was approached by three friends to coach them together, it helped create not just a safe space for them, but also a brave space full of trust and insight. It also created natural ‘action partners’, that really helped the individuals to make the change they had identified.
I realised this was a novel, but highly effective system when combined with the discipline of the Life Sights work that frames the conversations and the work between the conversations.
It has the added benefit of being more cost effective for the participants.
Group Coaching Course
I also regularly run virtual group coaching sessions, which use the Life Sights system that frames the conversations and each of the 5 sessions, and the work between those sessions.
“If you're ready to listen to the voices that have been quietened inside you over the years and to do it in a structured, thoughtful and supportive environment.

Saul and his intuitive approach will help you embark on that journey and place a different lens on your work/ life to bring together your strengths, your aspirations and your needs in a cohesive way.”

1.5 Hour Intensive Specific Sessions
Public Speaking and Pitch presentations
I am a Ted speaker, regularly give company keynotes around the world, and help teach Venture Pitching Saïd Business School, Oxford and The Centre for Democracy and Peace Fellowship. I have taken these skills and created a highly effective system for helping individuals and leadership teams become better at public speaking, and creating and delivering compelling piches.
“That session was amazing, we are getting some great feedback on how insightful and useful it was to the upcoming pitches”
Interview Preparation
As a former Global Chief Strategy Officer and Global Chief Marketing and Innovation Officer, I have been involved a great deal of senior interviews. I am also an Industry Adviser for Careers at Saïd Business School, Oxford.
This gives me a unique skill in helping people better prepare and better perform in high stakes interview situations. From how to think about the questions they might ask, the questions you do too, through to specific interview strategy and tactics.
“Honestly, I don’t think I could have got that job without your help.”
Case Study Reviews
I was the strategist and case author behind some of the most awarded campaigns: Glass Grand Prix, Cannes Titanium, Two Media Grand Prix, a Print & Publishing Grand Prix and Data Gold. As well as Warc Global Innovation Prize.
It turns out helping create case studies is one of my super powers. I can give you and your team clear advice about how to maximise your chances of success on the biggest creative stage.
“It's our most awarded case of 2025! With 24 wins at awards shows like Cannes, Lovie, Webby, Epica, Eurobest, Clio and more.
Thank you so much again for the support, creating this incredible case and hopefully we'll be working together again in the future!”
Global Executive Creative Director, 2026.
“Saul is a special breed, the type you meet few of during a lifetime, collaborative, driven to constantly learn and evolve, he never approaches a problem the same way.
Saul is passionate and relentless about constantly nurturing and growing ideas.”
Jaime Mandelbaum, Chief Creative Officer at VML - EMEA
“When Saul hit one of those classic midlife “what do I do now?” moments, he didn’t just push through or stay stuck – being the person he is, he created this beautifully simple yet deep framework to help himself think completely outside the box.
Going through his process felt like borrowing Saul’s brilliant brain to get a totally fresh perspective on my own situation. As a life reinvention coach myself, I know how valuable it is to step out of our own fixed ways of thinking, and Saul’s approach does exactly that. Plus, doing it as part of a group meant we could push through the sticky parts together – those moments where we usually give up. Life’s too short to put these things off, and Saul’s process gives you the tools and support to actually follow through.
There’s real joy on the other side of this work, and Saul makes the journey both thoughtful and enjoyable.”
