WHERE HIGH PERFORMERS COME FOR CLARITY

Purpose.
Resilience.
Inner Mastery.

The Philosophy

I started coaching to help leaders who’ve outgrown surface-level success.
Whether you're a founder, executive, middle manager or high performing specialist, you're expected to operate at a high level — but deep down, you may be wanting something more.

That’s where coaching can help.

My work blends proven coaching practice with mindset shifts and real-world leadership experience.
Together, we can clear mental fog and enable you to lead with depth, clarity and integrity.

About you

You’re not here for comfort, you’re here to be challenged.
You don’t just want the next promotion, pay rise or job title; you want your work to mean something.
You want success that aligns with your values, and the ability to show up fully for your family as well as your career.

My coaching is for people who:

  • Refuse to play small.

  • Welcome discomfort.

  • See obstacles as opportunities.

  • Want to make an impact in their community and in the world.

  • Don’t just talk about doing the thing, but actually do the thing.

  • Take their work seriously, but don’t take themselves too seriously.


If this sounds like you, then you’re exactly who I want to work with.


Some of the people I help:

  • Founders wanting to build something meaningful.

  • Leaders who strive to balance their family life with their work.

  • High performers who feel disconnected despite climbing the ladder.

  • Young professionals stepping into leadership and seeking clarity, confidence and direction.

I'm Jake Burt — a leadership coach who has 15 years of leadership experience in high-pressure, high-accountability industries.

I’m not here to provide you with answers; I’m here to ask questions that help you gain clarity and insight into yourself and your work.

I’ve spent most of my career leading projects, building and managing teams and mentoring others, but what excites me most is seeing people gain clarity on what they want in life and having the courage to pursue it.


My own growth and fulfilment come from my coaching work, through my daily practice of meditation and breathwork, by being physically and mentally challenged during my Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu training and through trying to be the best husband and father I can be.


My mission is to help people live better lives so that they can build a better world.

Client feedback

  • Jake is an incredibly dedicated listener. He cares deeply and you can feel he wants the best for you. He brings a depth of presence and inquisitiveness, which is unique. His questions helped me to connect to joy, in something I thought would only bring me down. I have valued working with him and experiencing his warmth, kindness and dedicated approach.

  • Jake is a calm and encouraging coach who cares deeply about helping his clients grow. He doesn’t waste words but asks pertinent questions and then allows you the time and space to process them and to gain insight into the things that really matter. I would highly recommend Jake as a coach.

  • In our coaching sessions it always strikes me how considered and thoughtful you are, allowing a real sense of safety and space for exploration and growth without judgement.

    Jo M

  • I've learned so much from you. You listen intently, reflect deeply on discussions, and always contribute meaningful insights. These qualities make you an exceptional coach—someone people trust because it's never about personal recognition, but about genuine care and contribution.
