No-nonsense leadership coaching for charity executives & mission-driven leaders

Because you’re not here to blend in

You care deeply. You want to lead with purpose. You’re navigating systems, expectations, and often, your own self-doubt. 

You’ve given your heart to your cause. But your days are full of crisis calls, endless meetings, funding pressure, board expectations.

You can feel stretched, isolated, and under constant scrutiny — especially when decisions ripple across both people and mission.

You’re great at caring for others… but who holds space for you?

About Us

At Brave Futures Coaching, I work with leaders, changemakers, and those ready to step into their authentic power. This is coaching that goes beyond the ordinary — it’s about creating brave, reflective spaces where you can grow boldly, lead authentically, and design the future you want to see.

So whether you’re leading an organisation, shaping change in your community, or seeking greater clarity and purpose in your own journey, Brave Futures Coaching supports you to step forward with confidence, courage, and pride.

This coaching is for you if:

 

  • You work (or aspire to work ) in the non-profit, charity, NGO, social housing, or social impact space.

  • You're stepping into leadership and want to do it your way.

  • You’re juggling passion and pressure — and want to find a sustainable path.

  • You want to lead with authenticity, integrity, confidence and care.

  • You want a coach who sees and affirms your identity — not just as a footnote, but as part of your leadership journey.

 

What I offer:

  • 1:1 coaching sessions (3-6 month packages or one-offs)

  • Space to reflect, reset, and realign with your values and get stuck into your challenges

  • A warm, confidential, identity-affirming coaching relationship

  • Practical tools to support change and courageous leadership

“Coaching with Phillip gave me the clarity and confidence I didn’t know I needed … As a leader in the charity sector, it was a rare gift to feel so understood and challenged in all the right ways.”
— Client in nonprofit leadership

 

This isn’t therapy and it's not advice. It’s space to think differently, supported by someone who understands your world.

 

Why Choose Me as Your Coach?

  • Sector fluency: I’ve worked with charities, housing bodies, and community organisations — I speak your language.

  • Leader & coach: I've led multi-stakeholder organisations and bring real-world experience to coaching.

  • Inclusive, values-driven approach: Your identity, values, and purpose don’t sit outside our work — they’re central.

  • Committed to outcomes: Our work is built to move you — not just have conversations.

 

"As a coach, I think Phillip is very observant. He is skilled at hearing what is not said and highlighting things I say that I am unaware of. He is very empathetic, and this made me comfortable to speak about topics that would generally be uncomfortable."

"The biggest lesson I will take forward with me from the experience is that the solutions and ideas we came up with during the sessions were within me. We worked on topics like avoiding difficult conversations and building my confidence. It has been a great learning experience to know that with good coaching, I can get to the core of the issue and find solutions."

"...the coaching was confronting, in the best possible way. It challenged me to reflect deeply, reframe my thinking, and shift my mindset. These moments of discomfort led to real growth and clarity. I now feel better equipped to manage challenging situations and lead with confidence and integrity."

"Through three months of intensive, proactive, and always caring challenge, Phillip has helped me to build a powerful springboard propelling me from my last in-house interim contract to setting up my own PR management consultancy. His supportive but piercing questions encouraged me to think things through clearly in a ‘train of thought’ style.  He listened intently, probed gently, and encouraged me to embrace my internal strength, choose a business name, grow my personal brand, and commit to living it authentically and sustainably"
