# Whishaw Coaching

James Whishaw is an executive coach and leadership mentor based in Weybridge who specialises in helping individuals and organisations achieve transformative change. Drawing on over two decades of experience in luxury fashion brand development and global business, he combines corporate expertise with professional coaching accreditation to deliver meaningful results.

Whishaw works primarily with driven professionals, leaders and business owners who recognise they need external support to unlock their potential. He addresses common challenges including self-sabotage, team disconnection, confidence gaps, loss of purpose and the aftermath of significant organisational change. His approach moves beyond goal-setting to focus on sustainable behavioural transformation and accountability.

What distinguishes Whishaw is his integrated methodology. Rather than simply reflecting back what clients say, he identifies blind spots and unintended impacts, helping clients achieve emotional understanding rather than purely intellectual awareness. His background in high-stakes corporate environments means he understands the pressures senior leaders face, whilst his coaching training enables him sophisticated questioning and accountability frameworks.

He operates across multiple modalities—one-to-one coaching for individuals, leadership and executive coaching for senior teams, mentoring for entrepreneurs and small business owners, and bespoke group workshops. This flexibility allows him to tailor interventions to specific organisational contexts and individual development needs. All new clients are invited to experience a free introductory session, removing barriers to exploring whether his coaching approach aligns with their ambitions.
