About Leadership In Life Coaching
Leadership isn't a job title. It's how you think, communicate and show up, at work and in life.
Who We Work With
We work with ambitious professionals, who are highly capable, but whose impact hasn't caught up with their ability. They know their work inside out, yet find themselves held back by hard conversations, pressure, or not being heard in the rooms that matter.
Why This Matters to Us
Most professionals are promoted for being good at their job, then expected to lead people, communicate under pressure and influence decisions with almost no support. The best mentorship tends to be reserved for the executive suite. We built Leadership in Life to change that, giving people at every level access to the self-awareness, communication habits and leadership presence that drive real results.
Our Values
SELF-AWARENESS
Every great leader starts by understanding themselves. Knowing how you think, react and come across, especially under pressure, is what allows you to lead others with clarity and intention.
INTEGRITY
Trust is the foundation of real leadership. It's built when your words and actions match, when you're honest in the hard conversations, and when you do the right thing even when no one is watching.
ACCOUNTABILITY
True leaders own their outcomes. They take responsibility without excuses, follow through on their commitments and create an environment where others feel trusted and empowered to do the same.
Our Story
Where it all began
Nigel and Amy's story starts at a brewery in the UK in the late 1990s. Both started at the bottom: Nigel on the shop floor, Amy in an admin office. They met there in 2004 and quickly realized how much they had in common. Both were ambitious, driven to succeed, and passionate about leadership. Both went on to work their way up from the very bottom to lead large, high-performing teams.
Two paths to leadership
Nigel rose from the shop floor to executive leadership, leading large-scale teams across warehousing, logistics and distribution. Along the way, he learned firsthand what it takes to build trust, handle tough conversations and create teams that take real ownership.
Amy rose from the admin office into senior finance and operations leadership roles, including at Walmart Canada, where she led large teams and drove significant change. Early in her career, she had to work through self-doubt and overthinking to find her voice. Mastering clear, confident communication became the turning point that accelerated her rise.
A new adventure
In 2012, Nigel and Amy moved from the UK to Canada. Adapting to a new culture and new ways of communicating made them even more aware of how they showed up as leaders. They had to adjust, listen closely and lead in new ways.
They also noticed something that stayed with them: how little leadership development most people ever receive. Talented, hardworking people were being promoted into leadership roles with almost no support.
Proof that these skills transfer
Alongside their corporate careers, Nigel and Amy built a real estate investment portfolio together. It confirmed what they had always believed: the leadership and communication skills they had developed at work were behind everything they achieved outside it.
Why they created Leadership in Life
Nigel and Amy believe leadership skills matter whether or not you have "leader" in your job title. Call them soft skills or people skills; they are what elevate your career, your relationships and everyone around you. That belief is why they created Leadership in Life Coaching: to give people the self-awareness, communication and leadership skills that shaped their own careers.
