Made to Move supports and challenges leaders and teams who want to thrive more in their work.
My approach is to build resilience. To help people bounce back from challenges and find more energy. Resilience keeps us agile, enables us to be more creative and increases the impact of our work.

My approach is to build resilience. To help people bounce back from challenges and find more energy. Resilience keeps us agile, enables us to be more creative and increases the impact of our work.
The following four steps are my unique process that combines coaching, resilience expertise and heartbeat analytics. I have used this approach to build resilience with CEOs, business directors and as part of company wide resilience programmes in the insurance, recruitment, energy, real estate and healthcare sectors.
1. Resilience assessment
Measuring resilience
Each participant is invited to wear a monitor for a week to measure their stress and recovery, which we map against their activities recorded during the measurement period.
2. Identifying insights
Developing insights as a basis for change
We discuss the results of the resilience report and use the insights to identify personal experiments; these are hypotheses to test for improving personal resilience.
3. Developing tools
Creating the approach for action
We explore the collective resilience of the team using insights from the resilience report and a variety of tools. As an outcome, we define collective experiments to build resilience across the team.
4. Impact measurement
Giving it a go
Participants wear the monitor for a second time to test the impact of their personal and collective experiments and what the changes have made to their stress and recovery.
I work with clients to measure and build resilience in the following three ways.
Executive coaching
Working with you through one to one coaching sessions to thrive more in your work.
Team coaching
Building collective resilience with teams, focused on team dynamics and improved performance.
Company wide resilience programme
Supporting business growth and culture change by reducing stress and building resilience across an organisation.
Clydesdale and Yorkshire Bank
“Rowan has a high degree of emotional intelligence and this allowed him to vary his style as a facilitator effectively. He challenged us hard too. When we were walking up a steep hill he noticed us less as a coherent team and more as competitive individuals which opened up a frank dialogue about team dynamics back at the venue”.
– Richard Ellison, Deputy CFO
Kea Consultants
“Rowan has an amazing instinct for knowing what to focus on in our conversations and where to push my thinking. It’s something that other people would miss. He can take a topic and flip it on it’s head which gives me a totally different perspective”.

“I met up with Rowan for a number of coaching sessions that all involved cycling or walking in a range of locations. The sessions were structured exceptionally well and I found Rowan to be excellent at asking the right questions and encouraging me to think about issues from new angles”.

“Rowan has been a rock and rocket for me in equal parts. Our coaching sessions were a key catalyst in my ability to challenge the culture in my business because I re-discovered my belief and ability to collaborate with others. He offered a different perspective on what it means to be valuable in an organisation”.

My name is Rowan. I’m a qualified executive coach and I’m training to be a Gestalt psychotherapist with a speciality in mental health.
The most enjoyable part of my work is offering a different perspective by helping people see what is really happening. This is one of the things clients say they most value in working with me.
I am continuing to research how we use physical movement to build more resilience in organisations. This is because moving our bodies is a powerful source of creativity and learning. Based on my belief that we are made to move, I am in the process of writing a book on this topic.
