Why Business Leaders and Entrepreneurs Choose Me for Strategy and Leadership Development
In sport—and in business—success is rarely accidental. It’s the product of sharp strategy, clear thinking under pressure, and the ability to lead people toward a shared vision. After more than 30 years in international cricket—as a player, high-performance coach, and leadership mentor—I’ve learned that the principles behind winning on the field apply just as powerfully in the boardroom.
That’s why more and more entrepreneurs, CEOs, and corporate teams are turning to me to help sharpen their strategy and unlock their leadership potential.
- I Know What It Takes to Win Against the Odds
From coaching under-resourced teams to historic victories—like Bangladesh’s win over England in the 2015 Cricket World Cup—I’ve developed a track record of helping teams punch above their weight. My approach to strategy is not just about planning; it’s about making the best use of the resources you have, understanding your opponent (or market), and maximising your competitive advantage, no matter the odds.
Business leaders choose me because they’re looking for that edge—how to win in volatile, uncertain, or highly competitive environments.
- I Build Leaders, Not Followers
During my coaching career, I’ve mentored captains, coaches, and players who went on to become influential leaders in their own right. I help individuals discover and develop their authentic leadership style—built on clarity, adaptability, accountability, and emotional intelligence.
In business terms, I don’t just teach leadership theory—I help you become the leader your team will trust, follow, and perform for.
- My Frameworks Are Tested at the Highest Level
Whether it’s game-day decision making, talent development, or building a winning culture, my frameworks are grounded in real-world results. These aren’t classroom theories—they’re lessons forged in high-pressure moments with millions watching.
And they translate seamlessly to business:
- How to set clear goals and align your team.
- How to manage high-performers and handle setbacks.
- How to make the right call—when the stakes are highest.
- I Speak the Language of Performance
Elite sport is relentless. You’re only as good as your last game. I understand the weight of expectation, the need for continuous improvement, and how to turn pressure into performance.
Business leaders value my experience because I coach performance, not just personality. Whether you’re navigating a major pivot, scaling your company, or leading through crisis—I’m there to help you focus, lead, and execute.
- I Connect Strategy to People
One of the biggest gaps in corporate strategy is execution. Most businesses don’t fail because of a bad plan—they fail because people don’t buy into it.
I help bridge that gap.
Just like in cricket, a strategy is only as good as the people who deliver it. I work with you and your team to make sure your strategy is clear, communicated, and aligned with the values, culture, and strengths of your organisation.

Final Thought: From Dressing Room to Boardroom
Over the past three decades, I’ve helped elite teams find their identity, unlock performance, and win in high-pressure environments. Now, I’m helping business leaders and entrepreneurs do the same.
If you’re ready to sharpen your strategy, elevate your leadership, and drive high-performance outcomes—I’d love to partner with you.
Let’s build something exceptional—together.
