Practical Leadership Coaching For Positive Change | OL

Close the gap between

great people and great teams

I work with mission-driven leaders to build the skills, culture, and clarity needed to create lasting change.
Introduction

Building a great team is hard.

Closing the gap between great people and great teams is hard.

 

Whether you're navigating a new leadership role, trying to align a growing team, or rethinking how your organization works, it helps to have someone in your corner. 

With my support, I can help you create a positive team culture, unleashing untapped potential within yourself, your team, and your organization.

I bring 18 years of experience across the public and private sectors to help experienced and emerging leaders find clarity, build skills, and deliver measurable outcomes.

Ordinary Leadership has helped the following organisations build great teams and leaders 

"I’ve really appreciated Ben’s fresh perspective and pragmatic approach to a complex ask. He’s helped synthesise, strategise and used his experience to suggest potential solutions. His involvement has enabled us to open up tricky conversations in a safe space."

 

Rosie Cornelius, Deputy Director for Analysis & Performance, UKRI

Working with you to unlock potential through...

What I do

One-to-one coaching

Developing the leadership skills and clarity you need to step up.

 

Whether you’re a CEO, a senior manager, or new to management, coaching creates a supported space to think, challenge yourself, and move forward with purpose.
 

“Every session has been the perfect mix, space for me to think, chew things over with Ben, and finish up with tangible steps to make progress.”

 

- Kathryn, Director, Consortium for Street Children

Consulting

Practical support to develop your strategy, redesign your structure, and implement change that sticks.

 

I work with CEOs and leadership teams in medium-sized organisations to turn strategic intent into action — whether that’s aligning a growing team, refreshing your culture, or navigating a complex restructure.
 

“Ben is absolutely a partner in making progress happen. He hasn’t just stopped at setting out options but has always been ready to roll up his sleeves to help translate intent into action.”
 

- Pia MacRae, CEO, Consortium for Street Children

Team coaching & facilitation

Helping teams tap into their potential and develop new ways of working together.

 

I facilitate honest conversations, surface the challenges holding your team back, and support you in building the shared purpose, behaviours, and accountability your team needs to perform.

 

“You have had a transformative impact on our organisation.”

 

- Tom Vernon, CEO, Right to Dream

"Ben has supported us to develop practical approaches to deliver our strategic intent. A great listener who has brought clarity and insights to my thinking, Ben has admirably tried to balance the pragmatic nuts and bolts of running a small but influential NGO while also keeping an eye on purpose... he’s absolutely a partner in making progress happen. He hasn’t just stopped at setting out options but has always been ready to roll up his sleeves to help translate intent into action."

- Pia MacRae, CEO of Consortium for Street Children
