Welcome to rwilliamscoaching
What I do.
I equip my clients to create, launch and grow new things successfully and sustainably. I work with teams, individuals and organisations using a coaching approach and bringing a level of energy, creativity and effectiveness which gets results for my clients far beyond the duration of our work together.
Much of my work is with founders and investors but I’ve worked with everyone from the world’s best universities to pioneering non profits to a cult Media brand to an award-winning FinTech.
Equipping you to do what counts.
From helping scaling businesses develop successful new strategies to working with a founding team to create and launch a new product to creating and launching a pioneering middle leadership development programme to equipping individuals to navigate major career transitions, my clients testify to transformed results as a result of our work together –100% of the team and organisational clients have referred or re-engaged me for further projects.
The clients with whom I work get things clear and get things done. They have increased their revenue and impact, won awards, negotiated successful acquisitions, raised new funds, developed new capabilities, moved to more satisfying roles and built more profitable, innovative and strategic businesses.
Approach
A coaching approach is the most effective way to build sustainable success for you, your team or your business because it builds buy-in, momentum and accountability from the start.
My coaching approach involves curiosity, rigour, energy and creativity. I’ll challenge and encourage and you’ll develop new perspectives as well as ways of thinking and working.
Services
Coaching packages (typically of four, six and eight months) are available for teams, organisations and individuals. Find out more by getting in contact.
I also design and deliver bespoke coaching and facilitation solutions from Leadership Team Strategy Sessions to Away Days, Focus Sessions and Leadership workshops and programmes. Find out more here or by contacting me.
EXPERTISE & impact
My expertise lies in equipping you to get unstuck and to use your expertise to achieve what you want more effectively than you can currently imagine.

Team & Board Coaching, Strategy and Facilitation
As a trained and experienced team coach, facilitator and mediator I am invited to develop and run:
- Strategy & Innovation Sessions
- Away Days
- Workshops
Time together as a Team or Board is rarer and more important than ever. I work with Teams and Boards to enable them to get the most out of their time together especially when starting or scaling important new initiatives.
I’ve helped teams to break deadlock, get aligned, clarify, articulate and move forward successfully with new strategies and initiatives.
As you can see from these selected quotes, clients talk about the value I bring in helping them not just to get together but to get things done together successfully in unprecedented and sustainable ways.
I work with teams to help them develop strategy and vision, resolve friction, build greater alignment and get unstuck together on new and significant initiatives.
Unlock CLARITY
“The different things that you got us to try enabled us to talk together as a leadership team and Board as well as to listen to one another well...”
“We discovered that perceived differences of view
were not as extreme as we had thought…“
Accelerate ACTION
…you led us through the process with sensitivity …but always moving us forward to the end point.
“Though we regularly sit in meetings together, it was different to work together in such a focussed way…“
Realise RESULTS
“Everyone is now behind the new strategy and we are now able to move faster.“
“You ensured key voices were heard …“

About Me
Some background.
I’m a creator and a coach. I’ve been described as by clients as “an incredible change agent”, “the energy we needed to think and act differently” and a “focussed generalist who ensures that we get it done”. I am the creator of a number of programmes and resources including ONION® – an Outcomes-driven coaching framework – which has equipped a growing number of founders, teams and individuals to get unstuck and to get the clarity, action and results they need.
My background is in Investment Banking, Corporate Restructuring and Strategy Consulting as well as coaching leaders and teams in the not-for-profit, creative and education sectors. I have also designed and developed digital applications and platforms for my own tech business and for other clients.
Alongside accreditation as a Business Coach and Mediator, I am a Special Advisor to Meyler Campbell and the founder of the Business Coaching Helpdesk at Portobello Business Centre, providing accessible Business and Strategy coaching to a diverse range of founder-led businesses and social enterprises.
I’ve co-authored a research-based white paper on What Founders Need and am the co-founder of KnowledgeX, a brilliant community of coaches who work with founders.
I deliver a limited number of talks each year and have been invited to speak to founders and investors at Oxford University, to current and future female leaders at BroadMinded, to leading educators in the UK and at the Learning in Law annual conference in London.
Find out more by hearing from my clients, reading my newsletter “To Be Clear…” or through a conversation with me.
The process: how it works
Team, organisational and individual packages are available but every client engagement is unique. The best way of discovering what it’s like to work together, is to listen to what my clients say and to speak to me.
Whether it’s individual or team strategy sessions, six months of one-to-one with a founder or leader or a tailored co-founder and leadership team programme, progress and success always involve four things:
Pillars & foundation
Whether you’re a team, individual or business, my aim is that you are surprised and delighted by the process and impact of our work together – that impact rests on four pillars…
CLARITY
You get clearer on what you want and how to get there.
I help you to identify and articulate what you want and what you need to move forward.
INTEGRITY
You discover how to deliver what you want in ways which align with who you are and who you’d like to be.
I help you to develop broader perspective and to recognise, claim and use your specific strengths.
PROGRESS
You move forward – and keep moving forward – in clear, significant and measurable ways.
I equip you to develop the kind of positive accountability and agency which drives ongoing progress.
SUCCESS
You see outstanding results as we work and become better equipped for ongoing success.
I help you to deliver (and to keep delivering) what you want and more.
Clarity Action Results
ONION® is my unique, highly effective coaching framework which has helped a number of teams, individuals and organisations to move from stuck to start to success on challenging projects and new ideas. It works by taking you through a five-layered process which unlocks greater clarity on your big picture desired Outcomes and on your Next Steps enabling you to move forward with confidence and success.
