Strengths-Based, Heart-Centred Coaching
I help leaders, couples, and coaches build lives and businesses they love. Through strengths-based, heart-centred coaching, I partner with people who want more than success. They want fulfilment, connection, and purpose. They want to love their work AND love their life.

The Three Rivers of My Work
With client relationships extending over more than a decade, I am a partner for the long haul, through thick and thin. Together, we celebrate the highs and build insight from the lows.
My coaching partnerships are built on the individual strengths of my clients, and I aim to bring the best of me to every fruitful encounter.
I work with people who care deeply about a heart-centred approach to work and life, and who value lifting love in their personal and professional lives by creating strategies that integrate head, heart, and gut.
For Entrepreneurial Couples
Building a business with your partner can be deeply rewarding, and it comes with unique challenges. I work with couples who want to grow something meaningful together, without sacrificing their connection, clarity, or joy along the way.
For Leaders and Organisations
Culture isn’t just an initiative; it’s the heart of an organisation. I help HR and executive leaders create strengths-based, heart-centred workplaces where people thrive, contribute their best, and feel genuinely valued.
For Business Coaches
For fellow CliftonStrengths coaches seeking to build a thriving, heart-led practice, I offer mentoring anchored in authenticity, service, and sustainable success. Turn your passion into a practice that supports the life you want to live.
I can help you create purpose, happiness, and extraordinary success with an approach that builds on the exceptional abilities of teams and individuals.

Finding FISH in a Strengths-Based Practice:
Fulfilment, Inspiration, Success, and Happiness in a Life Well-Lived
FISH (fulfilment, inspiration, success, and happiness) is almost a side effect of running a successful Strengths-Based Practice – you don’t pursue FISH, you experience it by getting lost in your purpose, finding inspiration everywhere you look, celebrating achievements, and feeling deeply grateful and happy for everything in your life.
Leading a Strengths-Based Practice takes courage, but the rewards are infinite.
If you are:
- an independent strengths coach or facilitator,
- considering making the leap into self-employment,
- or you are an established practice owner with a curiosity about a strengths-based approach, this book is for you.
Christopher gives me space to think and speak, and has helped me build belief in myself and achieve things I never thought I could. He makes me think and doesn’t allow me to indulge in self-pity. There is great trust between us, and I love experiencing a coaching day when there has been light heartedness and laughter. Christopher’s coaching comes with compassion, real life experience and wanting the best outcome possible from each session.
