one to one coaching

Elite leadership is beyond tough. You shouldn’t have to do it alone.

Our exclusive coaching - with proven frameworks - is designed for elite entrepreneurs, business leaders, and founders who refuse to settle for mediocrity. Think of us as your trusted strategic ally.

the challenges

Even the most capable founders struggle under the intense weight of leadership

Our programmes are designed to give you an unfair advantage in conquering common pain points and mastering elite leadership.

Inability to switch off

Even in moments of rest, your brain remains in problem solving mode. We equip you with structured shutdown rituals - so you can train your brain to switch off without guilt.

LONELINESS AT THE TOP

When you operate at the top you have no trusted peers who comprehend the pressures you face.  We help you get the strategic support and high-value insights you’ve been missing.

FEAR OF FAILURE

You question yourself and fear making critical mistakes. We help you learn how to detach self-worth from performance, build unshakeable confidence and lead without fear.

"The course was a revelation. My coach is incredibly easy to talk to. He honed in very quickly on the areas that I needed the most support with and gave me the skills and strategies to deal with them. I genuinely feel like a changed person. Highly recommended.

I am already doing things very differently. Generally, I am far more inclined (and able) to take a step back and recognise when I am feeling stressed, identify my triggers and act to address them. Perhaps the greatest change, however, has been that I am now much more inclined to consciously reflect on personal challenges and see things such as stress as hurdles that can be overcome and to actively seek to develop the skills to do so. So, thank you!"

All personnel in the UKSF have signed the Official Secrets Act. We will never exploit that trust by sharing operation details. That is not our focus. Instead, we concentrate on what our experiences taught us about how we cope and think during the hardest and darkest of times. It’s the principles and strategies that we forged under those circumstances that we will share with you.

We all invest in what matters most to us. We love being able to help our clients improve their authentic leadership skills and develop resilience. These qualities are invaluable and bring immeasurable benefits to those who work hard to readjust their mindset. But don’t just take our word for it, read what our clients have to say.

Eager to make positive progress, our clients like to prioritise their coaching sessions. However, we understand that with so many demands on your resources, it can be hard to fit everything in. That’s why we offer a bespoke service with a timetable to suit your needs.

We work with c-suite executives in leadership roles in any industry, including CEOs, directors, partners, and business owners at the highest levels.

Although we are based in the UK, our online sessions mean we can serve international clients. We have helped clients from the USA, South Africa, and Australia; location isn’t an issue.

We may not have the same corporate background as you - but that’s exactly why our clients love working with us. Duratus coaches offer a fresh and objective perspective on the challenges you face. Our former careers have furnished us with insights, principles, and strategies for coping - and thriving - under intense pressure.

Investing in an independent coach or mentor also gives you complete freedom to be honest about your challenges and weaknesses without feeling vulnerable to what you say being exposed to your peers.

The fact that you are exploring our website shows you have recognised your desire to improve - or even change - whether it be your mindset, your work/life balance, your performance under pressure, or your leadership style.

All of the worlds greatest athletes have coaches, having a coach for them is not a weakness it is a performance multiplier.

If you are ready to be open about and examine your situation, your behaviour, and your outlook, prepared to receive thoughtful honest feedback, and willing to work hard to put into practice what we discuss - then, yes, you’re ready.

Coaching may not be right for you if you are looking for a quick fix or hack.

what our clients say

I've thought about this for some time, and I genuinely can't think of a single thing that I'd suggest to be improved.

It's been the best experience. I've worked with 3 coaches previously, and Gaz has been an exceptional mentor and leader.
