My Approach
I support the development of cognitive, creative, embodied and relational intelligence - in you and your teams.
"Working with Julian over the past four months has been truly transformative. It was a period of major transition for the company and immense personal pressure for me — and Julian's guidance made all the difference."

About
Most human development optimises what's already conscious — strategy, capabilities, goals, beliefs.
But breakthrough growth lives elsewhere: in the embodied and relational intelligence your task-focussed mind overlooks; the collective creativity that emerges between people when we create a Coherent Field; and the systemic realities that shape everything but appear nowhere on an org chart or feedback form.
I partner with creatives, leaders, and organisations, to uncover these deeper dimensions of intelligence at every scale and to all end-points — from individual capacity to team dynamics to whole-system transformation.
From 2014 to 2024, I scaled the CSR franchise from an 8-person startup to a 200-strong global team, launching the billion-dollar CSR2 and delivering ~30% YoY revenue growth at its peak. I held full nine-figure P&L responsibility while building a psychologically safe, resilient, and creatively alive culture.
This wasn't just about optimising individual performers. It was about deliberately creating the conditions where the collective energy and intelligence of the whole could generate outcomes aligned with our strategy and wildest ambitions.
Today, I bring that same approach to transformation-ready leaders and organisations—whether that's an executive accessing capacities beyond their goal-oriented self, a team discovering their collective genius, or an organisation transforming its entire cultural field through Coherent Field: Culture®.
I work through individual coaching, team development, organisational transformation, and systemic constellations.
Work With Me
Three pathways, one philosophy: Conscious work that meets you where you are today.
Executive & Systemic
Executive Coaching explores your priorities and goals both systemically and systematically.
Systemic Tools provide wider context of what is, and what has gone before, without judgement.
Validated Psychometrics give you quantifiable insights into your relationship with the self-system-society axis.
A partnership built on your capacity for profound change - helping you uncover your own insights and act on them with lasting impact.
Transpersonal
Transpersonal Coaching works at a deeper level, honouring who you are today, your achievements, whilst developing the you of tomorrow.
We'll explore how you interpret and engage with the world - your values, worldview, the unconscious patterns shaping your decisions - your highest aspirations.
Family & Organisational Constellations reveal hidden dynamics and loyalties that have been out-of-sight but asking for attention.
Symbolic & Systemic Modelling allows you to explore your internal landscape without interference, making changes that ripple into all aspects of your life.
This is deep work that reconnects you with your true north, bringing that clarity into every aspect of your life and leadership.
Creativity
Creativity Coaching supports you in moving past creative blocks, calming the inner critic, and allowing the parts of you that know how to imagine, shape, and express, space to shine.
Every session will be as unique as you are.
Every session will meet the creative self of that day, and its changing needs in the context of your wider work.
Inspired and informed by training and mentoring from creativity experts like Jill Badonsky & the late Dr. Robert Maurer, the incredible work of Eric Maisel and Rick Rubin, and my own experiences leading creative teams and projects, a personalised blend of mindful practices, creative play, and coaching, will work through blocks, uncover fresh inspiration, and allow creativity to flow.
New Epoch, New Thinking
Coherent Field: Culture®

Manifesto
The Coherent Field
“As AI scales cognition, the uniquely human edge is coherence —
presence, relational depth, and the ability to hold paradox.”
The leaders I work with aren’t just managing change — they’re redesigning the systems they lead from the inside out, including themselves.
The next generation of leadership isn’t just technical.
It’s systemic, embodied, and deeply human.
Leadership today isn’t just about vision and execution. It’s about fostering resilience & presence, whilst tapping into your innate creativity.

No model matters more than the quality of the relationship. Let’s explore if we’re the right fit - if we’re not, I’ll happily connect you with someone who is.
