About Alec Pearson
Certified Leadership, Teams and Business Growth Executive Coach
Behind Every Leader is a Coach Who Believes in Them
You’ve worked hard to get where you are, but growth brings pressure. Whether you're navigating team dynamics, stepping into a bigger leadership role, or growing a business, you know something needs to shift. That’s where I come in, that’s where I come in, with practical, personalised coaching that supports your next step.
Meet Alec Pearson
I’ve supported thousands of professionals, managers, and business leaders across the UK and internationally to lead with confidence and deliver lasting growth.
My background spans 30 years across sectors including law, consultancy, IT, transport, education, and manufacturing. I understand how real businesses work and what real leadership takes.
This breadth of experience means I understand not only the pressure you’re under, but how to help you lead effectively in your world, not someone else’s playbook.
Why I Coach
I believe that when leaders grow, teams align and businesses thrive.
My mission is to support people to overcome internal and external blocks, strengthen how they lead and make the impact they’re capable of, without losing who they are.
I coach with structure, purpose and care, helping you move forward with clarity and confidence.
"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.
I also love cooking dishes from around the world or enjoying a good murder mystery weekend , especially international crime dramas.
Like many of my clients, I’ve had to evolve, to lead under pressure, stretch beyond my comfort zone, and stay aligned to my values through change.
That lived experience is what makes my coaching real and what makes it work.
“Alec’s coaching has been transformative for my career in law. His tailored approach helped me build confidence, handle complex situations with authority, and leverage my strengths effectively. The results have been immediate I am now leading projects that were once beyond my reach. Working with Alec has been one of the best decisions for my personal and professional growth.’’
