James Clark

After qualifying in 2005 James first worked to define and implement good coaching practice in the Foreign & Commonwealth Office (FCO). In parallel, he enjoyed a successful diplomatic career, including periods living and working in the US, Luxembourg (as British Ambassador), Germany, Belgium and Egypt, as well as in the UK. It didn’t take long, however, for the moment of clarity to arrive: James realised he was finding so much meaning and enjoyment in supporting his clients’ growth and development – and that he had a gift for it – he knew he had to make the shift and focus on it full-time. In early 2010, he left the diplomatic service and moved home to the UK to devote himself to the expanding business.
