Lead Through Change with Confidence
Strategic support for CEOs, Founders & Leadership Teams facing high-stakes transitions
Worked With
Set your direction. Align your team. Deliver the change.
When your business reaches a pivotal moment, whether it’s rapid growth, restructuring, or a shift in how work gets done, you don’t need more noise. You need a trusted partner who’s led through change before.
I work directly with CEOs and leadership teams to:

Pinpoint what needs to change and why it’s essential
Align your team around a shared vision

Create practical strategies that actually work
Support delivery without losing momentum
What You'll Get
A focused leadership space designed to cut through complexity so you can lead with clarity, confidence, and strategic momentum.
​
This is where you step back from the day-to-day, think clearly, speak openly, and make critical decisions without distraction.
How I Help You Lead Change
Leading change is not the same as managing growth. That distinction matters more than ever especially as AI and emerging tech reshape how businesses operate.
​
I support founders, CEOs, and leadership teams through major shifts, offering grounded, real-world support to help your people see opportunity (not threat) and turn strategy into action.
​
Leading change isn’t just about setting a new direction. It’s about ensuring everyone understands their role in getting there.
​
The Process: A Clear Path Through Change
Clarify the vision
Define where you’re heading, what must change, and what success looks like.
1
Work backwards from the outcome
We map the outcomes your business needs and what each leader must do to support them.
2
Align your people
Translate strategy into clear expectations so your team knows what matters, and why.
3
Build delivery rhythm
Implement the right cadence and tools to maintain momentum without micromanagement.
4
Support execution
Stay grounded and adaptable as you roll out the plan with challenge, clarity, and perspective from me at your side.
5
What You Gain
Most transformations don’t fail from lack of ambition, they fail when leadership gets overwhelmed, communication breaks down, and teams lose focus.
​
I help you move from “everyone’s busy” to “everyone’s aligned.”
​
Here’s what that support looks like:
Strategic 1:1 Advisory
Focused sessions to tackle high-stakes decisions, blind spots, and leadership challenges.
Execution Partner
Real-time support to keep initiatives moving, with momentum and accountability.
Proven Tools
Resources you can use, delegation frameworks, communication strategies, decision-making tools.
Who This Is For
You're a decision-maker facing meaningful change. You know something must shift but you don’t want to do it alone.
​
This is ideal for:
Founders with growing teams needing stronger alignment
CEOs and MDs navigating M&A or shifting markets
Leaders ready to embrace AI but unsure how to lead the transition
Executive teams needing structure and rhythm during evolution, transition, or transformation

About Stuart
I’m Stuart Turner, a strategic advisor and change specialist with over 20 years’ experience guiding leaders through complex transformation.
​
I’ve helped organisations from high-growth startups and SMEs (like Roke, Passenger and NNL) to global names like JPMorgan and Centrica lead confidently through change.
​
What I bring:
-
Grounded insight from the field
-
Academic depth from Oxford Saïd Business School
-
Straight-talking partnership built on clarity, structure, and support
​
My focus is all on helping you lead with impact and keep moving forward.
AI is a perfect example of how change is no longer optional, it’s here, it’s fast, and it’s reshaping how teams operate. The real challenge isn’t the tech itself. It’s leading people through the shift with clarity
Leading Through the AI Revolution
AI is changing how work gets done. Fast. Most teams aren’t ready not because of tech, but because of how it’s led.
​
You don’t need to be an AI expert.
You need to lead your people through change, with clarity and conviction.
​
I help leaders:
Frame AI as a strategic opportunity​
Understand its impact on roles, decisions, and dynamics
Guide teams through mindset and workflow shifts

Transformed leaders and elevated businesses...
Brett Mabberly
CEO & High Performance Coach
Stuart’s ability to guide CEOs through complex challenges is truly second to none. His insights and strategies have consistently delivered remarkable results, making him an invaluable coach in leadership development. I highly recommend Stuart to any CEO looking to take their business to the next level.
Stuart Mills
Business Owner, Lovegrove Financial Solutions
I engaged Stuart to bring some external perspective and counsel to key decisions I am facing. Smaller businesses can be isolating, and coming from a corporate background, you (sometimes) miss the input from a wider team. Stuart has brought that to my business, helping my thinking in making these key decisions and providing structures that I have been able to utilise in other aspects of my business to involve my team.
"His guidance and support have enabled me to see things from a fresh perspective and challenge myself. His coaching isn’t just about reaching goals and growing my business; it’s about getting a plan and achieving fulfilment in all aspects of life."
"Stuart helped me to clarify my goals, create an action plan, and then kept me focused on the important stuff. I’ve seen the value of my business grow."
"Stuart's coaching has been a game-changer. His guidance and support have helped me break through the barriers that held me back and step into a much better place leading my team and in other parts of my life."
