Founder
Coaching
For visionary and purpose-driven Founders looking to grow their business, create a positive impact and make their vision a reality.
VISION INTO REALITY
For Visionary Founders who want to be the best they can be
My primary focus is working with purpose-driven Founders from around the world to help them to make their vision a reality and to be the best leader they can be. The Founders I work with want to transform, innovate and grow. They want to be able to adapt in a rapidly changing world.
Whether you’re launching your first start-up, growing a scale-up, a serial Entrepreneur working on your next venture or an ambitious solo-preneur, I offer bespoke Entrepreneur Coaching focused to your needs.
BACKGROUND
Entrepreneur for Entrepreneurs
Clients often say they decided to work with me because I’ve been in their shoes. Having been an Entrepreneur, I know what it’s like. I’ve been there and have worked side-by-side with true visionaries to help them make their business dreams a reality.
Experience
For the last 25 years, I’ve been a successful award-winning entrepreneur running my own digital businesses and have worked both as a coach and consultant for numerous Entrepreneurs and Founders to help them accelerate and grow their businesses. Whilst I specialise in the Tech, E-commerce, Entertainment, Wellbeing & Health and Personal Development sectors, I am always open to working with purpose-driven business owners in other sectors too.
MENTAL FITNESS
Founder Mindset
My Founder Coaching is designed to help Entrepreneurs unlock their potential, create a vision that inspires and motivates them, set clear goals, develop a laser focused plan, improve their personal effectiveness and productivity, grow as a leader and track performance.
Some have said that I ‘specialise in the Founder Mindset’… At the heart of my coaching, I help clients to work on their inner game. To develop a mindset with the cognitive flexibility to adapt to day-to-day challenges and show-up as the amazing leaders they are, on the path to achieving their ambitions and dreams.
TAILORED PROGRAMS
Founder Coaching Programmes
My Founder Coaching programmes are bespoke and tailored to your needs. My aim is to take my clients through a process of transformation and to help coach them from their present state to their desired outcome.
Purpose Driven
Being an Entrepreneur is both exciting and challenging. Typically the Entrepreneurs I work with are ambitious, mission driven and either growing their business or in the process of launching a new business e.g. a new app, new platform, product, service or e-commerce brand etc. They’re committed to making a transformational change, making a difference and learning & growing professionally and personally.

WHAT CLIENTS SAY
Featured Review
Johnny is an amazing coach. I have had other experiences of coaching in the past, which all stopped after a while because it didn’t feel right. Johnny has the right approach, is very consistent, and provides sufficient drive to keep things moving forward. Johnny has been instrumental in keeping me focused and confident during my challenging entrepreneurial journey. Our weekly sessions have helped me to grow as an aspiring leader, and to find balance and peace in my professional and personal life. I would highly recommend Johnny’s experienced support for any professional seeking expert coaching.

MOTIVATED TO CHANGE
Are you ready for a change?
I work with clients who are ready to make a change. Behaviour change and forming new habits takes time and commitment to change.
My clients are dedicated to learning, development and growth and are motivated to change. I do not work with clients who are not ready for change and that includes prospective clients who have been asked to have coaching by their organisation but are not committed to change themselves.
