Made to Move combines leadership coaching with physical movement to increase performance and accelerate change. This is because moving our bodies is a powerful source of creativity, learning and resilience.
I support and challenge senior leaders in business and founders of fast growing enterprises to move towards their vision and goals.

support to move forward
Creating the approach for action
Designing the experiments to get there
Finding your community for support and inspiration
3. Action

accelerate your performance
Taking action and working with what happens
Learning how to be agile and bounce back
Accelerating your performance
I work with clients to deliver the Made to Move approach in the following four ways.
Executive coaching
Working with you through one-to-one leadership sessions to move towards your vision and goals.
Resilience assessment
Analysing your stressors and sources of recovery using leading technology by measuring your physiological reactions over a week.
Workshop facilitation
Working with a group of people from across the business to collaborate more effectively and accelerate change.
Team coaching
Working with leadership teams, often combined with individual coaching, focused on team dynamics and improved performance.
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”.

Senior Business Leader
“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”.
– Kevin Jones, Group Strategy Director
Aviva
“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. I’ve worked in large corporate organisations and small businesses and I have a background in resilience.
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 keep myself inspired by exploring new places from the saddle of my bicycle. I recently rode from London to Barcelona following the 2016 Tour de France route. The long miles and unforgiving climbs ended my desire to be a professional cyclist!
