The Pilgrim Coach : Joe Sidders
The Pilgrim Coach : Joe Sidders
For 27 years, I lived and breathed learning and leadership. I’ve been the Senior Leader navigating a crisis, the leader fired up with a strategic vision, and the colleague feeling the immense weight of responsibility. I know the unique pressure of a mission-driven career and the paradox of feeling successful, yet somehow stuck.
I saw it in the best leaders around me: a quiet friction between their deep-seated values and the chaotic, firefighting reality of their roles. They weren't broken or in need of fixing; they were pilgrims on a demanding journey who had lost sight of the path.
My own turning point came when I realised the most profound shifts, for my colleagues and for myself, rarely came from a top-down directive. They came from the space created to think, from a question that unlocked a new perspective, from the quiet power of being truly heard.
This is why I call myself The Pilgrim Coach.
A pilgrimage is an intentional journey, not a frantic race. My work isn't to give you a map, but to walk alongside you as you draw your own. Together, we create a space to silence the noise, allowing you to calibrate your internal compass back to what truly matters.
My qualifications and decades of experience aren’t just lines on a CV; they are the terrain I’ve travelled. They allow me to understand the nuances of your world without ever imposing my own solutions.
If you’re a leader at a crossroads, ready to move from feeling overwhelmed to leading with clarity and renewed impact, then your pilgrimage has already begun. I’m here to walk the next part of the path with you.
You'll find me on LinkedIn and I'm an EMCC (European Mentoring and Coaching Council) certified practitioner coach. Book a complimentary Crossroads Call to explore how working with me could bring you clarity and impact.
