EXECUTIVE COACHING · MARTIN COVILL
At the top, there is no one above you to turn to.
That is not a weakness. It is the reality of leadership. The Pinnacle Balance Program from Mindful Coaching gives you the one thing most executives never have — a completely private, impartial space to think clearly, feel fully, and lead with intention.
SCROLL TO EXPLORE
"My clients often say — you told me exactly what I needed
to hear. The truth is, I told them nothing. Their own mind
did the work. I simply created the space for it."

ABOUT MARTIN
The coach who has lived your
world
For over 25 years, Martin Covill has worked at the heart of global
commerce — helping major consumer brands build growth strategies,
customer propositions, and the kind of thinking that drives real, measurable
results. He knows what it means to sit in rooms where the pressure is real,
the decisions are consequential, and everyone assumes your wellbeing is
matching your performance.
He has also felt the personal cost of that world. Whilst operating at peak
performance, Martin has experienced the effects of stress and burnout
first-hand, and that experience — combined with 2,000+ hours of
accredited coaching practice — informs everything he brings to his clients.
He does not approach executive coaching from the outside looking in. He
approaches it from having been there.
Today, Martin works privately with founders, CEOs, board members and
senior leaders — people who are succeeding professionally and quietly
paying a personal price. His style is calm, direct, and deeply intuitive. He
asks the kind of questions that create genuine moments of clarity —
insights clients carry long after the session ends.
Also working as a mentor with business leaders and a certified Coach Supervisor, he brings a level of craft and ongoing accountability to his practice that few coaches can match.
Based in the UK and working with clients internationally, Martin offers
executive coaching sessions in person, outdoors, and via video call
worldwide. Whether you are a CEO navigating a period of growth, a
founder post-exit searching for purpose, or a senior leader managing
burnout — this is coaching built around your reality.

The Pinnacle
Balance Program
THE PROGRAMME
A minimum six-month coaching partnership. Two sessions per month, each 75 to 90 minutes. Private,
structured, and built entirely around you — with most clients choosing to continue well beyond the
initial commitment.
B
BOUNDARIES & BREAKTHROUGHS
We identify where your time, energy and
mental space are being quietly eroded.
Together we build clear, sustainable
boundaries — and this is often where the
first real breakthroughs begin.
A
ALIGNMENT & AUTHENTICITY
Many leaders at the peak of their careers
feel a quiet disconnect. Here we explore
what truly drives you beneath the role and
the results — and align your leadership with
genuine purpose.
L
LEADERSHIP & LEGACY
We look at how you lead yourself — your
patterns, your inner world, your blind spots.
And we begin to shape the legacy you
actually want to leave, professionally and
personally.
A
AWARENESS & ACCOUNTABILITY
You develop sharper awareness of your
stress triggers, energy patterns and
strengths — paired with a personal
accountability structure built on genuine
commitment, not external pressure.
N
NURTURING & NETWORK
Sustained performance requires deliberate
self-care. We build practices that fit your
life — and where appropriate, a trusted
confidential network that provides the
perspective every senior leader quietly
needs.
C
CLARITY & CONFIDENCE
We cut through the noise. Crystal-clear
priorities — professionally and personally —
so that decisions become cleaner,
confidence deepens, and your path
forward feels genuinely your own.
E
ENERGY & EMPOWERMENT
A personal energy strategy — physical, mental and emotional — so that sustained high performance becomes your baseline rather than something you have to fight for.
HOW IT WORKS
A process built on trust
Martin works with a small number of executive clients at any one time. Every engagement begins with a
conversation — no pressure, no pitch. Just an honest
exchange to see whether there is a genuine connection.
If that connection is there, everything else follows
naturally. Most clients find that even the first full session creates something they have never experienced before — a space that is entirely, unconditionally theirs.
Sessions take place via video call, in person at a location that suits you, or outdoors in an environment that genuinely shifts how you think.
1
THE CHEMISTRY CALL
A relaxed, no-obligation conversation. Martin shares how he works and what he brings. You share what is going on for you. If it feels right for both sides, you move forward.
2
THE FIRST FULL SESSION
A deep, unhurried 90-minute conversation. Where you are, what matters most, what you want to be different. Many clients describe this session alone as
unlike anything they have experienced before.
3
THE SIX-MONTH PARTNERSHIP
Two sessions per month, 75–90 minutes each. Structured around the BALANCE framework, always responsive to what you bring. This is your time — completely and unconditionally.
4
THE ONGOING RELATIONSHIP
Most clients continue well beyond six months. As your world evolves, the coaching evolves with it. Many regard this as one of the most valuable
professional relationships they have.
CLIENT STORIES
What changes when you
finally have the space
Every client arrives with something different. What they share is the experience of never having had a space quite like this before.
SENIOR LEADERSHIP · CITY OF LONDON
"For over 20 years I had been carrying this feeling of stress — convinced the people around me could see it. I believed the irrational thoughts and allowed it to undermine me. After six months with Martin, it no longer has any power over me."
“
A board director in the financial services sector came to Martin having lived with debilitating work-related stress for two decades. Through conscious breathing practice and learning to lean into — rather than resist — feelings of anxiety, the stress lost its grip entirely. His performance, confidence and presence in the boardroom were transformed.
BOARD DIRECTOR · FINANCIAL SERVICES
CAREER TRANSITION · POST-EXIT
"After selling my business I found myself successful by every measure — and genuinely unclear on what came next. Martin helped me find my way back to myself and to a real sense of purpose."
“
A business owner and entrepreneur found himself without the clarity of purpose that had driven him his entire career following a significant business exit. He had spoken to several coaches before connecting with Martin. What made the difference was the genuine
human connection from the very first call, and Martin's deep familiarity with the commercial world his client had just left behind.
FOUNDER & ENTREPRENEUR · BUSINESS EXIT
This is for those who are succeeding —and quietly wondering what it is costing them
FOUNDERS
You built something remarkable.
Now you need space to think about
what comes next — for the business
and for you.
SENIOR EXECUTIVES
High performing, highly visible — and
perhaps running on less than you
should be.
ENTREPRENEURS
You move fast and trust your
instincts. A trusted thinking partner
sharpens both.
CEOS & MDS
You lead others exceptionally well.
The question is who is helping you
lead yourself.
LEADERS IN TRANSITION
Post-exit, pre-next chapter, or mid-
reinvention. Purpose does not
always announce itself — sometimes
it needs to be found.
BOARD MEMBERS & CHAIRS
You hold enormous responsibility. The
weight of that deserves somewhere
confidential to land.
This work is for you if any of these resonate
—
You feel the pressure of success more than you let on
—
You have nobody truly impartial to think out loud with
—
You are high-functioning and quietly exhausted
—
You sense your personal life is subsidising your professional one
—
You have worked with coaches before but never found the right fit
—
You are approaching a significant transition and want to navigate it well
—
You have never worked with a coach — and you are curious whether this could be different
WHERE WE WORK
The environment changes
the thinking
Some of Martin's most powerful coaching sessions do not happen in offices or boardrooms. They happen outside — walking through open countryside, at a quiet hotel, or in a setting that completely breaks the pattern of how you normally think.
Martin brings his own deep connection to the outdoors into how he coaches. There is something about physical space and natural light that changes the quality of a conversation — and the quality of the thinking that follows.
Sessions are available in person, via video call, or — by arrangement — in genuinely different environments. The format is always led by what serves you best.
"Some conversations need a different kind of space. Not a meeting room. Not a screen. Just nature, fresh air and space to think without walls."
