THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT ME

I'm a Transformational Coach with over 15 years of experience developing high-performance teams and leaders across the globe.

At age 21, I stepped into my first leadership role. Over five years, I built a reputation for:

  • Transforming underperforming teams into award-winners

  • Developing high-performers into exceptional leaders

  • Creating cultures where people thrived and targets were exceeded

Over the next decade, I expanded my expertise across industries and partnered with leading organisations, gaining invaluable breadth of experience.

In 2017, driven by my dedication to helping people excel, I immersed myself in professional coaching studies, performance science, and leadership psychology.

Today, I partner with ambitious, thoughtful leaders who want to excel in high-stakes environments. My work focuses on the crucial intersection between professional excellence and personal fulfilment.

My client partnerships span seven countries and include:

  • Fortune 500 executives

  • Consultants at Big 4 firms

  • Founder CEOs of global startups

I am known for my "searing insights," lovingly direct approach, and engaging yet challenging style. I balance depth with practicality, candour with laughter, philosophy with science.

My difference? I walk my talk, lead with unwavering integrity, and care deeply about my clients' success.

Recent Experience:

  • Training APAC leadership teams at HubSpot

  • Speaker at Industry Partners Australia annual conference

  • Performance and Leadership Coach for multiple growth-stage startups

BEYOND THE CREDENTIALS

As a kid, I had visions of becoming two things: a Formula 1 driver or a Buddhist monk. Looking back, this peculiar combination perfectly foreshadowed who I'd become—someone equally fascinated by peak performance and human consciousness.

Alex James – Leadership Coaches Services Sydney

I'm an adventure-obsessed nature-lover who is as deeply contemplative as I am driven to expand and reveal my potential.

From 14-day hikes in the Himalayas to training Muay Thai in Thailand's top fight camps, I'm constantly drawn to experiences that challenge my edges.

When I'm not nerding-out on psychology and performance science, you'll find me:

  • Walking oceanside, barefeet in the sand

  • Training with my martial arts community

  • Writing to integrate, articulate, and share my insights

I'm quickly bored by unexamined convention, shallow conversations, and oversimplified "solutions." My craft is the artistry of transformation—not quick fixes, but facilitating profound shifts in perspective that build lasting change.

As a coach, I'm uninterested in the pervasive noise about what you "should" be/do/have. I'm passionately curious about what leads to your falling asleep feeling fulfilled and waking up lit-up.

My clients are fellow seekers and explorers—curious lovers of life who desire freedom, purpose, and adventure. They're leaders and ambitious professionals who sense there's a different way to thrive, or are simply dedicated to becoming their best selves.

I believe our lives are our masterpieces, and my role is to help make yours even more rich, beautiful, and captivating.
