Mindset, Strategy & Performance Coaching
You are the person everyone agrees with, but no one challenges. Phil Jessé’s Bar Raiser Mindset coaching provides the unbiased friction and strategic architecture you need. Master your 'Project X' or find absolute clarity in a confidential Third Space.
The Room Where You Do Not Have to Mask.
You are the person everyone agrees with, but no one truly challenges. It is time to change the dynamic.
As a leader, entrepreneur, or high-performing individual, you likely exist in an echo chamber. Colleagues agree with you. Friends support you. But the candid, unbiased challenge you need to break through your blind spots is missing.
You do not need another "yes" person. You need a Partner in Thought.
I provide the strategic challenge, the neuro-somatic toolkit, and the confidential "Third Space" required to navigate the intersection of your most ambitious goals and your complex personal reality.
Skip the overview below and go straight to the booking section to schedule your 15-minute introductory call (£25), or lock in your next 15, 30, or 60-minute coaching block.

I Am Not Your Therapist. I Am Not Your Personal Trainer.
I occupy the necessary space in between.
If you want to lose body fat for a role, I will refer you to a nutritionist. If you want to build muscle in 12 weeks, I will introduce you to a personal trainer. If you need clinical trauma processing, I will guide you toward a therapist.
I am the Architect who helps you integrate it all.
My work is for the individual who asks: "What is next?"
I work with clients who are operating at a high level but feel the friction of "Invisible Drag." I bring a unique competitive advantage to your corner:
- The Lens of the Athlete: Forged in the arena of 500,000+ pull-ups and ultra-endurance. I know that "grit" is a biological resource, not just a buzzword.
- The Neurodivergent Edge: As an AuDHD thinker, I offer exceptional pattern recognition. I see the connections between your sleep, your stress, your business strategy, and your personal purpose that others miss.
- Digital Realism: I do not preach unrealistic digital detoxes. I teach high-performance integration for a world that never logs off.

The Two Paths
My coaching is bespoke, but it follows two distinct tracks depending on your current need.
Path 1: Performance Coaching
(For Audacious Goals & "Project X")
Who is this for?
The individual who has a target locked in. This is for the "Project X"—the marathon, the business pivot, the writing of the book, or the defining physical challenge.
The Focus:
We move from potential to kinetic energy. This is structured, rigorous, and metric-driven.
- Strategic Architecture: We use OKRs (Objectives and Key Results) to turn abstract ambition into a linear roadmap.
- Neuro-Somatic Regulation: I teach you how to regulate your nervous system under pressure, ensuring you don't burn out before the finish line.
- The Accountability Loop: I provide the objective friction you need to stay honest when the motivation fades and the discipline is required.
Path 2: The Clarity Partnership
(For Mindset, Focus & Life Strategy)
Who is this for?
The individual who doesn't need a map; they need a compass. You might feel "foggy," overwhelmed, or stuck in the "messy middle" where your professional success is colliding with your personal happiness.
The Focus:
This is the "Third Space." A confidential sanctuary to unravel complex thoughts without judgement.
- Decompression: A safe release valve for the intense cognitive load that comes with operating at an exceptional level and navigating a complex life.
- Pattern Recognition: We identify the loops—imposter syndrome, conflict avoidance, sensory overwhelm—that are draining your battery.
- Forward Motion: Unlike therapy, which often looks back, we look forward. We build the "operating system" for the life you want to live now.

I value efficiency. Please review these details to ensure our partnership is the right fit for your needs.
Methodology & Approach
How do I get started with 1:1 coaching?
Onboarding follows a focused three-stage process:
Step 1: 📆 Book Your 1:1 Coaching Introduction (15-Min)
- Book your slot via the calendar link on this page. We will use this Google Meet to evaluate mutual alignment and ensure my practice matches your goals (£25 non-refundable commitment fee).
Step 2: 📋 The Coaching Calibration Questionnaire
- After our call, you will automatically receive an email with a link to a private Google Form (taking roughly 15–20 minutes). Completing it is entirely up to you. If you choose to move forward into ongoing coaching, this gives you dedicated space to pause the noise, map your baseline, and clarify your targets with radical honesty. You will automatically receive an email copy of your answers for your own records. It benefits both of us, as it gives you immediate clarity on where you stand, and gives me the exact context needed so our working sessions hit the ground running without wasting time on background questions.
Step 3: 📆 Direct Scheduling
- With fit established and your baseline recorded, you have complete control over your cadence. You can book ongoing 15, 30, or 60-minute sessions directly via this page at any time to match your operational tempo.
Is this just therapy by another name?
No. Therapy is primarily retrospective (resolving and healing the past). My work is strictly prospective (architecting the future).
While my work is deeply informed by nervous system regulation, somatic practices, and stress physiology, coaching is a developmental partnership. It is strictly non-clinical and is not a substitute for medical healthcare or psychiatric therapy.
I am Neurodivergent. Is this safe for me?
It is more than safe; it is designed for you. As an AuDHD strategist, I do not view your brain as broken. I view it as a distinct operating system. We work with your brain—using body doubling, nervous system regulation, and clear frameworks—rather than fighting against it.
What are OKRs, and why do you use them?
OKRs (Objectives and Key Results) are a simple, battle-tested goal architecture made famous by high-growth technology companies:
- 🎯 The Objective: The ambitious "What" (e.g. running an ultramarathon, launching a business pivot, or authoring a book).
- 📊 The Key Results: The measurable "How" (e.g. averaging 50km per week or locking in 3 strategic partners).
We only use OKRs if your target calls for structured, metric-driven tracking—typically in Path 1 (Performance Coaching for Project X). They ensure we are not simply "hoping" for progress, but engineering it.
If you are joining for Path 2 (The Clarity Partnership), we skip the corporate frameworks entirely and focus on decompression, mental clarity, and your personal operating system.
Logistics & Finance
Can I claim this as a business expense?
Yes, in many cases. The majority of my clients are founders, executives, and company directors who engage me for executive coaching, strategic decision-making, and leadership resilience. In many instances, organisations and limited companies fund this work directly as professional development or leadership advisory.
All automated receipts and payment confirmations are issued immediately via Stripe upon booking under your selected coaching session title (e.g. 1:1 Coaching Session (30-Min)). This provides a fully itemised, downloadable PDF transaction receipt suitable for standard company expense reporting (such as Expensify, Concur, or business credit card reconciliation).
Please note: Tax regulations vary depending on your jurisdiction, corporate entity, or employment structure. Please consult your accountant or finance team to confirm how professional development and coaching expenses apply to your specific entity.
Do you offer refunds?
❌ No. I sell my dedicated time, focus, and expertise, which cannot be recovered once committed.
Payment secures a reserved, distraction-free block in my schedule. When you book, I turn away all other commitments for that time.
- 📆 Rescheduling: You may reschedule your session freely up to 24 hours prior to our Google Meet using the link in your confirmation email.
- 🏪 Within 24 Hours: Rescheduling closes 24 hours prior to our session, and unattended appointments forfeit the fee, as that dedicated window cannot be refilled at short notice.
- 🤝 Practitioner Guarantee: If I ever need to cancel or reschedule our session due to an emergency, you will receive immediate priority rebooking or a full refund.
Where do sessions take place?
All sessions are conducted virtually via Google Meet for global accessibility.
Stop Thinking in Circles.
You have the ambition. You have the capability. You just need the sounding board and the structure to execute.
Let’s determine if we are the right fit.
