 I'M ALEX

Welcome to My World of  Growth, Leadership & Empowerment.

With over three decades of company directorship experience across Media, Film Casting, Sales, Marketing, and Public Relations, I've contributed to notable films like "Wonka," "Napoleon," "Masters of the Air," and "Matilda." This diverse journey has enriched my communication, strategy, and leadership skills.

 

Amidst the dynamic entertainment landscape, I discovered my true calling—mentoring, coaching, and empowering others. As a volunteer business mentor for Enterprise Nation and a member of esteemed Organisations like the ABM,  ILM, EMCC & ICF deeply committed to nurturing emerging talent.

 

My background provides a unique perspective and wealth of knowledge channeled into my coaching practice. Each project has taught me invaluable lessons in resilience, adaptability, and continuous growth—pillars of my coaching approach.

Backed by comprehensive training with the Institute of Leadership and Management (ILM), my coaching focuses on empowering individuals with leadership skills and fostering holistic and organic growth.

I believe true leadership is about inspiring and empowering others. As your partner, I'm dedicated to your success, helping you navigate business complexities, nurturing your goals, honing your skills, and unlocking your leadership potential. Together, let's turn uncertainties into opportunities and dreams into reality.

Experience, Accreditation, and Recognition
