About

Bringing Executive-Level Insight to Growing Small Businesses

In partnership with organisations like Grow London Local, Owen Smith Coaching & Consulting brings high-impact leadership tools, typically only accessible for large corporate organisations with big budgets to match, directly to small business owners, independent founders, and growing SMEs across London.

While financial management, marketing, and operational strategy are essential, long-term business success ultimately relies on people: winning loyal clients, building high-performing teams, and managing crucial business relationships.

CORPORATE EXPERIENCE

As an accredited ILM Level 7 Executive Coach and EMCC member with over two decades of corporate talent development experience, I help founders leverage proven psychometric frameworks, such as Insights Discovery, EQ-i 2.0, Hogan, and MBTi to unlock self-awareness, improve communication, and build strong relationships with confident authority.
