ABOUT

Experience & Skills

I provide on-demand online business and career coaching services.

I bring 6 years of in-company training experience in multinational companies. In this role, I have added value to employees, teams and departments operating in a variety of industries, ranging from banking to oil and gas.

Enhancing emotional intelligence, developing leadership capabilities and mindset is my focus. All this with an understanding that today, effective leaders put their employees first and make them feel supported.

Clients

I am serving executives, managers and high potential professionals as well as organizations in any country and time zone via Zoom video calls or in person.

My passion is to share the benefits of coaching with others and enable them to connect, build trust, and lead effectively. 

My Story

Born and raised in Glasgow, Scotland, I chose to study chemistry, after following a variety of interests ranging from sport and acting to psychology and current affairs.

When embarking on my master’s in information management, I met fascinating people from around the world and felt a sense of belonging. From there, I took the plunge; moved to Spain and immersed myself in the culture and language.

In Spain, I have trained in companies and taught academic English in universities while developing my coaching practice.

Living in another country throws up many challenges, and after receiving world class coaching myself, I turned things around. Overcoming challenges happened when I changed my way of seeing the world and realised that I can change how I think, feel, and therefore how I act/react.

After becoming an NLP Business Coach with Fiona Campbell, I am continuing my professional development by assisting Fiona on her NLP coaching certification programmes .

testimonials

  • INES RAMOS MATOS

    “I started my coaching with Malcolm because I was feeling creatively blocked and facing severe issues of concentration and focus.

    Malcolm helped me to overcome it through very interesting and revealing introspection exercises. He taught me mechanisms to connect with my subconscious to understand what really moves me and to decide how to reach my goals.

    All this without forcing or indicating strict guidelines, but helping me to understand what works for me and also giving me the tools to define those guidelines myself and make timely decisions.”

  • Deepti Gupta

    I was coached by Malcolm for finding answers to 2 of my situations. During out coaching session, he stayed very curious and patient with me while listening and finding out the root causes of those situations. When he knew what needs to be worked upon, he created a really comfortable coaching environment and allowed me to be in the space to keep speaking, sharing when he kept observing me emotionally, physiologically. He kept the entire coaching session very light and conversational which helped me finally find answers to tackle those situation. The solutions I found were not only for a particular instance but are there in my mind for a lifetime now.


    The biggest takeaway for me after the session was how simple solutions can help us grow out of trivial things peacefully. :)


    I am really happy and grateful that I got a chance to be coached by Malcolm , and I will highly recommend him as a NLP Business , Career and Life Coach.
