James Christensen
Executive coach, trainer, and keynote speaker. I partner with founders and leaders who believe how they feel and who they're becoming is inseparable from what they build.
I coach in English and French, across the UK and Europe. The people I work with are usually the steady ones. They've built careers by thinking their way through everything, and that strategy is starting to fail at home, with their team, or with the version of themselves they want to become.
Promotions land and don't really land. Feedback keeps circling something they can't fix by trying harder. There's a quiet sense that a different version is ready to be lived, and the strategies that built the career so far aren't going to get them there.
Emotions drive behaviour.
When your emotions are working for you, not against you, everything changes. Clarity returns. Action feels natural instead of forced. The internal environment supports the external work.
The coaching is one-to-one, confidential, structured around your real challenges, and grounded in established behavioural science. Sessions run virtually or in person. Three-month and six-month programmes are the default. New clients start with a free 60-minute Vision Call.
Credentialed, researched, applied.
I'm credentialed at ACC level by the International Coaching Federation, Gallup Certified for CliftonStrengths, and rely on methods from established behavioural science and psychological research. The work is structured but not formulaic. Frameworks serve the client, not the other way around.
Who I work with.
My work spans founders developing their offerings, startups moving to scaleups, M&A founders, and senior leaders inside global pharmaceutical and finance firms. The common thread isn't the sector; it's the moment a leader recognises that more of the same, just harder, won't get them where they want to go.
