Executive Coaching & Speaking
Lead like you've crossed an ocean, because he has.
Mike Jones spent years leading search-and-rescue missions, rowing the Atlantic, and guiding expeditions on Kilimanjaro and Elbrus. Now he brings that same discipline — resilience, decision-making under pressure, comfort with discomfort — to help leaders achieve transformational change.
What is coaching?
Coaching is a collaboration between your coach and you which helps to identify your goals and create an action plan to achieve them. Coaching can be used to make transformational change in a range of areas of your life, drawing on your strengths to reach your true potential.
Are you looking to make a change in your life, define your purpose, or take charge of your life to steer it towards success? If you answer yes to any of these, then coaching is for you. We all find ourselves at crossroads from time to time, and this can lead to a feeling of uncertainty — this is where Mike Jones Coaching can help. As a coach, I will work with you to redirect your ship and realise your potential.

From the ocean to the boardroom
Hi, I'm Mike Jones. If you haven't guessed by now, I love the outdoors and adventure — an obsession that started as a child when I bought my first tent at age six. I've been exploring, learning and leading for over three decades since: conducting complex search-and-rescue missions under immense pressure, and guiding people through some of the world's most inhospitable environments. It was through that work as a leader and guide that I found my passion for coaching.
