About me

I’m Jamie, founder of JLM Coaching Ltd, and a fully qualified Performance and Leadership Coach. I work with individuals at every stage of their career—from junior level all the way up to senior leaders—helping them transform how they think. I help people build confidence, remove any self-doubt, and ultimately get out of their own way.

Before moving into coaching, I built a 15-year career in insurance, spending the last 2 years in a leadership role managing a team of 15 — experience that gave me a clear understanding of the situations that arise on a daily basis, and confidence to know that how you interpret certain challenges is the biggest driver to how you respond.

My path into coaching started in December 2022 when I made a decision to stop drinking completely.

I didn’t have a rock bottom moment, but I knew that alcohol was holding me back. So, what was initially meant to be a few weeks without alcohol, turned into a lifelong commitment and the best decision I’ve ever made.

Every aspect of my life has improved massively, and highlighted to me just how powerful a shift in mindset can be.

I was not giving something up, I was gaining everything.

Removing alcohol from my life led me down the road of self-development in search of becoming the best version of myself, and ultimately into what I now know is the biggest passion of mine, and that is coaching people 1-1.

My coaching style

My coaching is specifically centred around my specialism of positive psychology, which focuses on strengthening what already works, while addressing any limiting beliefs that may be holding someone back. I am honest, direct, relatable and will empower you to find solutions which will help you thrive, whilst being in your corner throughout.

Accreditations

I trained with Andy Ramage at the Coach Business School, where I saw for the first time how powerful coaching can be when given the space to talk, and truly be listened to.

The coaching training I undertook is treble-accredited and professionally recognised by the International Coaching Federation (ICF), the Association for Coaching (AC), and the European Mentoring and Coaching Council (EMCC).

My 2 coaching specialisms are:

Positive Psychology Performance Coach. Alcohol-Free Performance Coach.
