About Jack

As a mid-life career changer, I found myself trying to move into finance at age 36 without any of the requisite education, background or experience. Needless to say, it was a difficult move, which took me several years to achieve. Once I had found my way in, I then found myself wracked by imposter syndrome - without the experience or background of those around me, I lacked the credibility and confidence needed to succeed. I compensated for this by educating myself. I did a number of finance qualifications, including the IMC, CAIA and CFA Level 1, then started an executive MBA in 2014. I loved both the studying and what it did for me - I felt like I was fulfilling my potential, and finally would achieve all the things I had hoped for. In the meantime, I had become a Manager at Bloomberg, running a sales team covering Northern Europe and the Emerging Markets. As part of this role, I became interested in coaching as a way to be better at developing others, which has always been a passion for me. I started formally studying coaching in 2019, and since then I have completed Certificates in Executive Coaching, a Diploma in Transformative Change, an MSc in Organisational Psychology and an MSc in Coaching for Behavioural Change. I have worked with over 100 coachees both internally within Bloomberg and externally, and coached across a wide range of topics, including personal development, transformative change, career advancement, education and professional fulfilment. I combine a number of approaches, but I believe my secret to success is my ability to challenge my coachees whilst maintaining an unconditional positive regard for everyone I work with. I will help you to question your thinking, mindset, beliefs and assumptions but always with a sense of safety and a total absence of judgement. My curiosity and willingness to go deep will get you results you won't find with other coaches. Whatever it is you want to achieve, I can help you get there.
