Welcome to the midlife man

The Midlife Man is a coaching service for men in their 40s and 50s who want to develop professionally, personally, mentally.

YOU

You’re a senior leader and - on the face of it - winning at life. Yet below the surface you’re exhausted, lacking purpose and aware that the things and people that matter to you have been deprioritised.

Maybe you fundamentally feel ok, but self inflicted pressure, or low self esteem is getting in your way.

You’re in a new high pressured role and want to perform and lead confidently, with intention.

Perhaps you’ve being made redundant - your confidence, identity, and career trajectory squashed - and want to find a way forward.

 Whatever YOU want to SHIFT, wE work ALONGSIDE YOU TO GET THERE.

This isn’t therapy. This is future proofing, forward facing, and results driven coachinG.

Our work is grounded in the SHIFT framework. A structured model developed specifically for high-performing men at midlife, informed by research and shaped by extensive practice with senior leaders.

It is disciplined, commercially relevant and designed for complexity.

SHIFT provides a clear process for:

  • Understanding the patterns driving your current performance

  • Identifying where pressure or habit may be limiting clarity

  • Defining what matters now, professionally and personally

  • Establishing a deliberate, strategic direction forward

While the framework is consistent, the goals you will bring are not.

Some of you are navigating succession or expansion.
Others are recalibrating confidence or preventing burnout.
Perhaps you are redefining career direction.
Some are simply ensuring they operate at their best in a demanding chapter.

The structure remains robust. The application is individual.

This is not generic coaching.
It is structured, strategic recalibration at midlife.

Over years of working closely with high-performing men in their 40s and 50s, clear patterns emerge.

This is often the most demanding chapter of a man’s career.

Responsibility peaks. Expectations increase. Decisions carry wider consequence. At home, life is no less full. Partners, teenage children, ageing parents, financial commitments.

Externally, success is established.

Internally, something begins to shift.

Confidence can wobble. Energy feels finite. The drive that once came naturally now requires more intention. Questions surface around direction, relevance and long-term impact.

Yet very few men in senior roles have a structured space to step back, think clearly and recalibrate strategically.

They are relied upon. They are capable. And they are expected (or expect themselves) to keep going.

Midlife, at this level, is not about starting again. It is about refining how you operate — with sharper thinking, deliberate choices and renewed direction.

That is why our work is focused here..

This is about investing in yourself so that you can feel and be at your best, inside and outside of work.

You set the agenda and the goal, we work with you to get there.

WHY MIDLIFE?

Sustainable success. professionally and personally.

  • I felt like my head was a pressure cooker. From breadwinner, to father, to managing a team of over 70. It just got too much. I now have balance, know where I’m heading, and have the ammunition to get there. Wish I’d worked with them years ago.

  • I had this ongoing feeling that something wasn’t right and it made me feel pretty lost. Just talking, and having someone come in and mobilise my thinking, helped me figure out what I wanted. I’ve changed career and a year in, I feel excited to go to work and I’m a much better version of myself.

    Managing Director, Advertising

  • Working with Caroline has been hugely cathartic, and extremely beneficial to my broader outlook on work and life. She's helped me create a positive mindset, showing empathy for my situation but also encouraging and challenging me to find clarity in my thought process. I now have far more confidence in my future planning, and am making my personal wellbeing a priority.

  • I no longer feel like life is spiralling. Working with Caroline has enabled me to develop both my professional and personal capacities in a short space of time. I am a more confident and authentic leader, have addressed the barriers that were holding me back, and have finally struck a healthy work/life balance.
