For Leaders

You built something real. People rely on you. You deliver. And somewhere along the way, the armour you put on to cope became the thing you can't take off.

You're not looking for a coach. You're not looking for advice. You've had plenty of both.

You're looking for someone who understands what it costs to be the person everyone depends on — without trying to fix you.

Walk With Me in Prague

A day by the Vltava River. Just you and me. No agenda. No slides. No framework imposed on you.

We walk. We talk. We sit by the water. And somewhere in the space between the noise and the silence, you hear which voice has been running things — and what changes when you stop obeying it.

This is not coaching in the traditional sense. It's a day where you don't have to hold anything together.

Prague. One day. One conversation.

Executive Coaching

Six months. One conversation per month. Private, sustained, and built around you.

This isn't performance coaching. It isn't therapy. It's a space where you can think clearly — with someone who understands what you're carrying and won't waste your time.

We work with the four voices and the eight conditions. Not as a framework to implement. As a language for noticing what's driving your decisions, your tension, and your exhaustion — and leading without it.

Most men arrive because something feels off but they can't name it. By the end, they can.

The River on Substack

A weekly letter about leadership, pressure, grief, presence, and what happens when the armour comes off.

Short. Honest. Written from the Vltava River in Prague.

Andrew Sillitoe is a former international athlete and coach. He lives in Prague with his wife and four children.

He spent 17 years coaching leaders and athletes before realising most of them weren’t tired from the work. They were tired from defending.

Andrew was one of them.

After his father died when he was 16, he learned to be strong by hiding everything that felt weak. By 42, the armour he’d built was crushing him.

He moved to Prague. Started walking by the Vltava River. Began writing short dialogues between four voices: the Stag, the Rat, the Wren, and the River.

These stories became the language he wished he’d had at 16. And still needs now.

Andrew works with leaders who recognise themselves in the Stag—founders, executives, leaders who are exhausted from performing strength.

Some travel to Prague to walk by the River with him for a day. Others join his workshop, Presence Under Pressure.

He is the author of three previous books on leadership and living well.
