Radically Human Executive Coaching

You're operating at the highest level. And still, something isn't quite right.

Not wrong enough to slow you down. Just enough to know: this isn't everything you're capable of.

Maybe decisions that used to feel clear now feel murky. Maybe you're leading well by every external measure — and yet the gap between the leader you are and the leader you sense you could be has quietly been growing. Maybe the pace has become the point, and somewhere in it, you've lost the thread.

This is where Radically Human Executive Coaching begins.

This isn't training. It isn't a programme. It's a relationship.

Over the course of a year, working closely with Lee Chalmers, you'll do the kind of work that most leadership development never touches — the shifts that change not just what you do, but who you are as a leader.

The work is rigorous, personal, and built entirely around you. Your context. Your blind spots. Your ambitions. Your organisation. We go at the depth and pace the work demands.

"One of Britain's foremost personal development coaches." — Guy Browning, The Guardian

How it works

We begin with an immersive session — a dedicated half-day, online or in person — where we slow everything down enough to see clearly. Where you are now. What's serving you and what isn't. What becomes possible from here.

From there, we work together across the year through monthly one-to-one sessions, with the kind of ongoing contact that means insights don't sit on the shelf — they become part of how you lead.

There are no worksheets. No off-the-shelf frameworks. Just rigorous, skilled, confidential partnership at the level this work deserves.

What changes

Leaders who work at this depth consistently describe the same things shifting:

The quality of their decisions — clearer, faster, less second-guessing. Their presence in the room — the gravitas that commands without demanding. How they hold pressure — absorbing it rather than transmitting it to their teams. The conversations they've been avoiding — becoming the conversations that change everything. Their relationship to their own ambition — understanding what they actually want, and leading from that.

And something harder to name: a sense of being more fully themselves in the role. More grounded. More effective. More free.

Who this is for

Radically Human is for senior leaders — Board members, C-suite executives, Partners, Directors, Founders — who are ready to invest seriously in what comes next.

If you're navigating a significant transition, a step up, a period of complexity, or simply a growing sense that there's more in you than your current leadership is expressing — this is the work.

It is not for everyone. And that's by design.

Radically Human represents a significant investment — typically in the range of £12,000 to £18,000 for the full year — and is designed for leaders who are ready to commit at that level. Shorter, 6 month initial engagements range between £7,500 and £12,000. 

About Lee

Lee Chalmers is an ICF Master Certified Coach — the top tier of ICF accreditation — with over two decades of experience working with Board, C-suite, and senior leaders across banking, financial services, legal, consulting, and the arts.

She coaches at London Business School, mentors coaches at Henley Business School, and is a Senior Research Associate at the Intellectual Forum, Jesus College Cambridge.

What makes her approach distinctive is the depth behind it. Her formation spans philosophy, psychology, and psychotherapy — and she works with rare fluency at the intersection of coaching and therapy. Leadership, for Lee, is also a lived practice: she founded and led a national social enterprise for a decade and stood for the Scottish Parliament in 2016.

She brings rigour, warmth, and — as Guy Browning wrote in The Guardian — "more charisma per inch than any woman in northern Europe."

Start with a conversation

If something here has landed, the next step is a conversation. No pitch. No pressure. Just an honest discussion about where you are and whether this is the right fit.
