How I Work
No programmes. No frameworks. No homework. Just focused, one-to-one conversations that help you think more clearly than you could alone — and make decisions you can act on with confidence.
Some clients come for a single session. Others work with me over several months. We decide together what makes sense for your situation.
About Giuseppe Leonello
I'm a London-based career coach. I've spent years in professional services — finance, strategy and M&A — and I understand the pressures, politics and trade-offs that come with high-performance careers from the inside. I work with ambitious professionals across finance, consulting, tech, law, professional services and senior corporate roles. I help people get promoted, negotiate better, navigate transitions, recover from burnout, and build careers that hold up to honest scrutiny.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is career coaching, in plain English?
Career coaching is one-to-one, structured thinking time with an experienced coach. It helps ambitious professionals make better decisions about promotions, salary negotiations, career transitions, leadership challenges, burnout, and the bigger question of whether the career they are building is the one they actually want.
Who is career coaching in London suitable for?
Ambitious professionals based in London who are working in high-performance careers. Most clients come from finance, consulting, tech, law and senior corporate roles, as well as founders and operators in growth-stage businesses.
Do I need to be considering a career change to benefit from coaching?
Not at all. Many clients come for coaching while they're doing well but want to do better — to prepare for a promotion, negotiate a raise, develop as a leader, or simply think more clearly about their direction.
How does career coaching differ from mentoring or therapy?
Career coaching is focused, professional thinking time — not therapy and not mentoring. It's structured around your specific career goals and challenges.
