Consultant Interim CGO Tesimonial - H1 2024.
“I brought Danny in to help us in validating our new long-term strategy. He developed structured cross-functional working methodologies and implemented a new Growth operating model, significantly enhancing our operational efficiency.
Danny facilitated us to roll out our cross-functional model successfully, first as a test with our customer acquisition team and subsequently applying it across two additional business units. This transition enabled us to move from a funnel-based approach to a more dynamic loop-based operating model.
He broke down existing silos between departments and then aligned our organisation towards shared objectives and worked with fellow exec team members to integrate these initiatives into our OKR process.
Danny consulted and coached us on our org design, hiring processes and long-term planning.
Danny left us in a much better place than where he joined us”.

Don’t Need A Consultant But You’re Thinking Of A Coach?
I’m Not Just Another Exec Coach
Here Is My System Broken Down
Designed by and for Marketing & Growth Leaders & not based on boilerplate & overly academic training that is not designed for you!
Been there, seen it and done it too (many haven’t & haven’t recently) - I have lived on the same rollercoaster aka the high highs and lowest of lows, I know the pitfalls, I know the struggles, I have applied these alongside interviewed 20x leaders to ensure this drills based coaching approach works across different businesses
Honed the process with c-suite leaders and bespoke sessions so can work across 1 intensive day, 2x half days or best with 10x sessions
Fit First: The mandatory 15-minute matching call removes the chance of not being the right fit and ensures this coaching method is right for you
Coach x Therapy: I researched and blended exec coaching, sports coaching & therapy & created a dedicated workspace to develop a safe space to collaborate and evolve your skills (= no time wasting)
Built Deliberately Differently: Proven system based on the foundations of sports coaching including sports drills and analysis of therapy and structuring around therapy sessions – this is to maximise your time and output
The System Broken Down Further:
Issues, Jams & Situations: We will workshop issues, and potential issues, & revisit previous situations to improve your skills and decision-making skills to ensure you are the team work together and can drive the business forward
Skills-Based Development: You will evolve in every session and adapt your training based on business needs and your personal profile
Manageable Time Slots For You: We are all busy, therefore the workshops are shaped around 1-hour workshop coaching sessions (typically based on 10+ sessions) to focus on your personal and professional development
No Wasted Time - Ever: Both hybrid and in-person coaching, this is designed to help you maximise your time and have a personalised playbook to move your performance and the business performance forward
Homework! It is a homework-based system, you have to be invested, homework is an essential part of your development and carrying on the training post workshops is critical in your investment and development
IQ, EQ (emotional intelligence) & PQ (political intelligence) Based Coaching: IQ will be improved by traditional “hard skills” development, EQ will be developed on life skills (there is no such thing as soft skills) and PQ, improving how you operate and mature as a leader with your business
Proven Framework & Exercises: I provide proven frameworks and exercises to improve operational skills, improve situations you or your team are struggling with, helping to mature and up-skill you and those around you
Roll Out To Your Own Team: Coaching system you can then roll out to your team (with all of your coaching materials available 24/7)
Workshops Not Chats: Coaching sessions are “workshops” (with drills) based training and 1-2-1 coaching – this is to ensure you are moving forward and have tangible outputs and is results orientated
ROI: Every session is designed for you to gain a return on investment, yes ROI from session 1, whether that is the company paying or you self-funding you will know you have invested wisely.
So Why Do Marketing & Growth Leaders Get In Touch
“Need Help, Coach”
In need of one-to-one coaching
In need of someone to collaborate with at a high level
In need for support as I just can’t get the CEO or c-suite to understand me and my requests
Wants someone who understands the unique challenges of Marketing and Growth leadership
Wants someone who’s been there, seen it, got the battle scars too!
Wants a player coach - someone to get into tactics with them
For those who “feel too old” to learn another new or latest app
In some cases many want me to become a de-facto manager holding their own Marketing performance to a standard & to develop out their Marketing career
Lost Confidence & Connections
Lost confidence
Lost feeling (lack of career direction) & Do I want to do this anymore
Lost connection with team or department and wants to refresh it
Losing it with their Marketing funnel & having to repeat how it works over and over (& over & over & over again)
Feels lost with new channels & new apps
No Support
Things feel too much
Promoted and not supported
Promoted from Head of/Director of to more senior and it’s a huge jump up
Struggling With The Day To Day
Wants support developing out their Marketing org design
No Time To Manage, Let Alone Lead
Wants help hiring - hiring is hard!
Don’t Just Take My Word
“Returning to work after parental leave, I had to reshape my role in a business which had changed significantly whilst I'd been away.
Danny's compassionate coaching style reignited my lost confidence and creativity, providing a tailored, practical approach to the challenges I faced.
In just a couple of Zoom workshops, I was guided through a programme personalised to the specific challenges I faced at the time, which we workshopped together during our meetings.
He's been available at the end of a phone line since for advice, motivational pep talks, and sometimes a little grounding.
Consequently, I've become a more resilient business leader, confident public speaker, and a supportive coach for my own team.
Having coaching by someone who's worked in the same fast-paced environments, in similar leadership roles, meant he knew exactly how to support me. I only wish I'd had this support earlier in my career!”
