WELCOME TO
CLEAR THINKING
With Julian Stanley
Julian studied leadership at Cambridge Judge Business School, University of Cambridge, and at The Leadership Trust, and trained and qualified as a business coach with international coaching specialists Meyler Campbell. He has many years’ experience of executive, career, workplace and life coaching with individuals and teams, alongside significant senior leadership, governance and people-management expertise gained through his career as a CEO, Managing Director and Non-Executive Director. Julian is also trained in mental health first aid, trauma-informed practice, safeguarding and workplace mediation.
Julian has worked extensively across education, from early years and schools through to further and higher education, drawing on broad experience spanning business, health and wellbeing, employment and skills, economic regeneration, the arts, youth services and the criminal justice sector.
His diverse portfolio of clients includes CEOs and executives, senior leadership teams, business owners, boards, aspiring leaders, experienced and newly qualified teachers, lecturers and students. He works with people seeking to develop personally and professionally, change career direction, resolve conflict, strengthen workplace relationships and communication, or navigate challenging management situations. He also undertakes strategic and operational business planning and consultancy projects in partnership with schools, commercial organisations and charities.
Through one-to-one and team coaching, group sessions, workshops and role play, Julian creates an environment in which people feel heard, understood and appropriately challenged. His approach helps individuals and organisations think more clearly, recognise and optimise their potential, define achievable goals and translate thinking into effective strategies and practical action.
Julian has particular expertise in identifying barriers to cultural and organisational change and in helping people understand the underlying causes of workplace stress, anxiety and conflict. By providing a safe, confidential and thoughtful space, he supports individuals and teams dealing with complex workplace and safeguarding challenges, including the impact of trauma, to build confidence, find perspective and develop creative, practical and sustainable solutions.

WHY
COACHING?
Change is inevitable. Growth is intentional... it occurs when heart and head - feeling and thought - meet. These are the two winds that allow us to soar
Daniel Goleman - Clinical Psychologist, Author & Educator.
"Coaching in all its forms has been shown to be one of the most effective personal development tools available, producing a hugely beneficial and often transformational impact in the lives of individuals and on the culture of teams and organisations of all kinds. It is a highly effective way to tackle tough situations and cope with new challenges. Sessions can reveal new approaches, ideas and insights about the way you view yourself and your abilities and plan for success."
Many of us find change exciting. Many others, including highly positive, talented, dedicated, hardworking and successful people, can unexpectedly experience feeling stuck, vulnerable, defensive or upset by planned or unplanned change.
Coaching enables. It offers you or your team a hugely effective and focussed method to work through roadblocks, struggles and challenges. You set the agenda and I will facilitate so you can reflect, develop your thinking, explore your needs, values, ideas and goals, articulate challenges and importantly, produce a time-bound plan of action. The process is powerful and it will allow you to uncover your own agency and resources to chart the steps necessary to move forward.
Clients report the coaching, reflective practice, constructive challenge and support they have experienced working with me, has resulted in new solutions and a "can-do" mindset that has resulted in positive changes in the workplace, increased self-confidence, greater resilience and more harmonious relationships at work and at home. Many clients say coaching has helped them create a healthier work-life balance and has significantly reduced their levels of stress and anxiety. Gaining Confidence, promotion, changing career direction, and securing a more fulfilling job are common outcomes.
