About Alec Pearson
Certified Leadership, Teams and Business Growth Executive Coach
Behind Every Leader is a Coach Who Believes in Them
Leadership is rewarding, but it can also be relentless. Whether you’re navigating team dynamics, stepping into a bigger role, or driving business growth, you know something needs to shift.
That’s where I come in with practical, personalised coaching to help you lead with clarity, confidence and purpose.
Meet Alec Pearson
I’ve worked with thousands of professionals, managers and business leaders globally to overcome challenges, align their teams and achieve lasting growth.
With 30 years of cross-sector business experience, in law, professional services, consultancy, IT, transport, education and manufacturing, I understand both the pressures you face and the real-world solutions that work.
“I coach you to lead in your world - not from someone else’s playbook.”
Why I Love Coaching
I believe that when leaders grow, teams align and businesses thrive. Coaching lets me support you to:
Overcome internal and external challenges.
Lead with impact without losing who they are.
Build confidence, resilience, and clarity.
Create sustainable results in their role or business.
The most rewarding part? Seeing transformation happen, when clients step into new responsibilities, navigate change and grow in ways they never thought possible.
"Coaching is unlocking a person’s potential to maximise their own performance. It is helping them to learn rather than teaching them."
Sir John Whitmore

A Personal Note
When I’m not coaching, you’ll find me:
Walking in the Lake District with my children.
Cooking dishes from around the world.
Immersed in a good murder mystery, especially international crime dramas.
Like many of my clients, I’ve had to lead under pressure, stretch beyond my comfort zone and stay aligned to my values through change.
That lived experience shapes every coaching conversation I have.
