Evidence-based leadership development and executive coaching for senior leaders, organisations, and coaching communities.
Leadership is rarely tested in the moments you can prepare for. It is tested in ambiguity, pressure, and the conversations you would rather avoid. ROCK Executive Development helps leaders build the inner capacity and practical skill to make better decisions, stay grounded, and lead with clarity when it matters most.
What we do
At ROCK we deliver meaningful leadership development and senior leadership evolution. We combine executive coaching, cohort-based learning and immersive experiences to help leaders think clearly, act decisively and lead with authenticity under real-world pressure.
Whether you are building a stronger senior team, developing future leaders or investing in deeper transformation, our work is practical, evidence led and shaped around your organisation’s goals, not generic training days.

WHO WE ARE
ROCK is led by Paul Shaw, working with a network of experienced coaches, facilitators, and specialist contributors. We bring together evidence-based psychology, embodied leadership practice, and coaching that supports sustained behaviour change – not short-lived inspiration.
We work best with leaders and organisations who want depth, honesty, and momentum, and who value psychological safety alongside high performance.
Why choose Rock?
Leadership is not just a skillset – it is how you show up, decide, relate, and perform when the stakes are high. Our programmes help leaders build capacity that lasts: clearer thinking, better decisions, stronger relationships, and leadership that feels true to who they are.

“ROCK created exactly the space our senior team needed – calm, focused, and genuinely transformative. The blend of coaching, cohort learning, and practical application meant the work didn’t stay in the room. Decision-making improved, difficult conversations became easier, and we left with clarity we could actually use.”

“This was not another ‘leadership course’. It was a structured journey that challenged my patterns, strengthened my resilience, and helped me lead with more authenticity under pressure. The coaching was sharp, human, and evidence-led – and the outcomes were noticeable to me and to the people around me.”
– Director, Public Sector Organisation
