You left London. Or Berlin. Or New York.
You told yourself it would be different here.

Slower. More intentional. More life outside of work.

But somewhere along the way, it followed you.
You’re building a company in a city you chose for freedom—
yet you’re working harder than ever.

You sit in meetings where you don’t catch every word.
You nod, translate later, and carry the weight anyway.

At home, you’re there… but not really there.

You haven’t said it out loud, but you know:

Something needs to change.

What I actually needed was a real conversation.

What I Do

I work with founders and CEOs living in Prague who are carrying more than they show.

People who are still performing at a high level—but privately feel the cost.

The pressure.
The decisions.
The conversations that keep getting delayed.

I don’t offer more strategy.

I offer a space to think clearly, speak honestly, and face what you already know needs to be faced.

The Work

Most leaders here don’t need more information.

They need a different kind of conversation.

One where you’re not performing.
One where you’re not managing perception.
One where you can actually tell the truth.

That’s what The River Dialogues are.

A structured but human way of working through the tension between:

• The part of you carrying the responsibility
• The part of you trying to protect everything
• And the part of you that already knows what matters

Walk With Me

The Founder’s Intervention

The most important conversations rarely happen in offices.

So we leave.

We walk—often along the Vltava River, through Letná Park, or into Stromovka Park.

No distractions. No performance.

Just a deliberate conversation about what’s really going on.

This is for you if:

• You’re building something meaningful in Prague—but it’s costing more than you expected
• You know there’s a conversation you need to have, but keep delaying
• You’re carrying pressure well in public, but badly in private
• You’re tired of thinking about the problem and ready to face it

The Focus

Strip away the defensive patterns that are slowing you down—
in your business, your relationships, and your decision-making.

The Goal

Have the conversation you’ve been avoiding.

With your co-founder.
Your partner.
Your team.
Or yourself.

The Result

You leave with clarity.

Not ten priorities.
The two or three that actually matter.

You stop second-guessing.
You stop carrying it alone.

You lead with steadiness instead of pressure.

About

I spent twenty years in high-performance sport.

As an international athlete and national coach, I believed leadership meant carrying everything, showing nothing, and never cracking.

I've coached over 5,000 senior leaders across four continents, working with organisations including Google, Pfizer, and the BBC. I'm also a former international athlete and coach.

My wife looked at me and said,
“I didn’t sign up for this.”

I was winning at work and losing at home.

Physically present. Mentally gone.

That was the moment I realised something most leaders never say out loud:

The same mindset that builds success can quietly destroy everything else.

The River Dialogues came from that.

Now, based in Prague, I work with founders and CEOs navigating pressure, responsibility, and the reality of building something far from home.

I don’t bring answers.

I help you see clearly enough to find your own.

No pitch.
Just a conversation to see if this is the right space for you.

Stop defending. Start leading.
