James F Clark ACC

James first came to appreciate the value of coaching through his own personal experience of being coached. At the time, he served on the board of a large public-sector service organisation contemplating a radical transformation of its business. He decided to start by transforming himself, including working with a coach. The experience was so valuable – in terms of the quality of his own life, as well as the better results he was able to deliver for the business – that he undertook to train as a coach himself, and to support individuals and organisations in the same way.

After qualifying in 2005, he worked to define and implement good coaching practice in the Foreign & Commonwealth Office (FCO), including designing and delivering coaching skills training for an internal cadre of coaches. In parallel, he enjoyed a successful diplomatic career, including periods living and working in the US, Luxembourg (as British Ambassador), Germany, Belgium and Egypt, as well as in his native UK.

Now based near Bath, he runs his own coaching & consultancy business. He is proud to have held an ICF credential since 2008. He is also a certified member of the European Mentoring and Coaching Council (EMCC); an NLP Master Practitioner and qualified NLP Coach; and is qualified to administer MBTI. He coaches and delivers coaching skills training to clients in the public, private and charity sectors.
