who we are

You deserve more than generic advice from someone who isn’t invested in you.

You’ve had the drive to reach this point and accomplish great things. The bottom line is you know you can do better, work better, and be better. That's why you want objective, honest feedback from someone you can respect, so you can become the authentic version of yourself.

Duratus is Founded on Our Strong Desire to Help You Be Successful

The years we’ve spent leading high-performance teams, supporting ambitious individuals, and coaching others to do the same, have formed in us a firm desire to continue guiding others to achieve success.

Success can mean different things to different people. For you success could mean:

A father in a white shirt and tie is sat on the sofa with his young daughter. They are both relaxed and she is attempting to tit the knot in his tie.

Reaching your ambitious professional goals without sacrificing your well-being or your family.
Leading a high-performing team without compromising who you are and still having their respect.
Accepting the position everyone else is afraid of, confident you have the tools to handle whatever it throws at you.
Being able to excel under pressure no matter how high the stakes.

what our clients say

"Duratus has worked with me on developing my leadership style and stress management skills in the context of both my business career and a cancer diagnosis.

My coach’s background at an elite organisation operating in extreme and high pressured situations provides him with unique insights into leading high-performance teams and dealing with stress, which he distils into practical and actionable advice.

I would highly recommend him and Duratus."
