    The Founder

    Culture is the work

    I build cultures. I’m Alex Knight, and I do executive coaching, leadership coaching and culture consulting. I work with founders, CEOs, operators and executive leaders. Based in Sydney, working Australia-wide.

    Most people treat culture like the vibe. It isn’t. It decides what your people actually do when you’re not in the room. So we don’t just work on you. We work on you and the system around you.

    I’ve done 10,000+ coaching hours with people in this seat. You get a partner for both parts of the job: the strategy you’re building, and the person you have to become to build it.

    How I work on culture

    6 yearsCoaching for Tony Robbins
    “He operates as a genuine thinking partner. Part strategic advisor, part coach.”

    “Years in and still the most valuable hour of my fortnight.”

    “I’ve worked with Alex for close to 8 years. As CEO of a corporate I’ve had plenty of access to leadership consultants and coaches over my career. Alex is different. He operates as a genuine thinking partner. Part strategic advisor, part coach. One session he’ll help you unpick a hard decision. The next he’ll challenge you on a blind spot you didn’t know you had. Alex tracks everything. He remembers the pattern you showed him 12 or 24 months ago and calls it out when it shows up again. If you’re a founder or operator who wants a genuine partner on both the strategic side and the personal development side, he’s the one to call. Years in and still the most valuable hour of my fortnight.”
    Gareth Fraser/ CEO, Colliers New Zealand
    The bit most coaches skip
    “I’ve worked with a number of coaches and the time spent with Alex is some of the best. He has a way of getting right to the core of the issues or challenges I’m facing, provides the frameworks to help solve them, and keeps me honest about how I’m tackling them. This last part is critical as it’s the bit most coaches skip. I also appreciate the cadence he works at and I know that when one of our sessions is scheduled, it will be one of the most valuable hours I spend that week. If you see yourself running a business and often need an objective and fresh perspective on how to positive changes and improvements, big or small, Alex can help.”

    A big new role
    “I came back to coaching sessions with Alex when I was about to step into a big new leadership role after 20 years in one place. He helped me handle the tricky people side of it and a lot of self-doubt, and stay focused on the kind of leader I want to be. Practical, warm, and always honest with me. I leave every session lighter, clearer and more confident.”

    An honest look
    “I’ve not long started with Alex and it’s already made a real difference. He’s helped me take an honest look at every area of my life, work on some habits I’d been avoiding, and show up better for the people who matter. He’s easy to talk to and doesn’t let you off the hook. Really glad I started and only wished I started earlier!”

    Strategic sounding board
    “Our regular monthly check-ins have helped me stay focused on real progress, work through the harder challenges, and, most importantly, separate what is genuinely critical from what is just noise. The relationship has now evolved to the point where I have also engaged Alex to work with members of my senior management team.”

    Vaughan O’Connor

    Managing Director, Rapid Media

    The whole picture
    “I’ve taken him HR issues, pricing decisions, hiring calls, sales strategy, board-level risks, and questions about where I’m getting in my own way, sometimes in the same session, and the work doesn’t lose edge on any of it. If you want a thinking partner who can hold the commercial, the operational, and the personal in the same conversation, talk to Alex.”

    Simplifying complexity
    “Alex has been an incredible support for more than four years. As a startup founder, he was instrumental in helping me navigate a wide range of problems and he has a unique ability to simplify what often seems complex. I’ve been very fortunate to have him in my corner.”

    Burnout recovery
    “I’ve been working with Alex since 2018, right after a pretty big burnout. He helped me process and ‘re-write’ the stories that weren’t serving me, rebuild confidence, and move on to the next chapter.”

    Breaking limiting beliefs
    “Alex is the consummate coach. He is adept at knowing how to release the blockages that stop people from performing at their best and provides step by step to helping them fulfill their true potential. I gained so much from my time with Alex. He gave me the courage and confidence to push past limiting ideas and to think big. I highly recommend him.”

    Accountability framework
    “Amazing coach. He understands the struggles everyone faces. He set a framework for me to achieve my ambitions in all aspects of life and keeps me accountable. Couldn’t recommend him more highly!”

    Max Ho

    Founder

    Purpose driven
    “My life has completely transformed since I began working with Alex in 2018. Since then, I left my 9 to 5 and started my own business, began my dream relationship with my wonderful girlfriend and have smashed out goal after goal. Most importantly, I wake up every single day, driven by my purpose that fuels me through the most challenging times and gives me gratitude in my most beautiful moments.”

    Turned around in one session
    “Alex is a master question asker and gets me focused on what I want. In just one session he turned around my negative approach to work to one of empowerment. Alex will turbo charge every aspect of your life. I cannot recommend more highly.”

    Team workshop
    “Alex was such an inspiring and energetic facilitator for our team. The room was energised, the team were engaged, and we got a lot out of our 2 hour session with Alex which focused on personal goal setting. This session was perfect for our team to start to think about working on setting their personal goals in preparation for setting their career goal aspirations next month.”

    Feeling stuck
    “Through my work with Alex, I was able to identify my limiting beliefs, gain clarity on my path forward, and achieve major milestones in my career. Alex has a unique talent for helping those who feel stuck or misunderstood, and I feel incredibly fortunate to have had his guidance. Thanks to him, I am now able to live life on my own terms and pursue my dreams with confidence.”

    Eddie

    Goals that landed
    “Alex helped me prioritize my goals, then find the confidence to make them happen. And they did happen! Because Alex helped me make these big choices in a methodical and clear way. This gives me daily confidence, clarity and motivation.”

    Alexandra Somerville

    Real world results
    “Thanks, as usual, Alex. I come to our calls to milk the most of them because over the last few years it has made an incredible impact in all areas of my life. If it wasn’t for you, I wouldn’t be signing a half million dollar USD sponsorship this year, nor would I have any relationship with my brother at all. I appreciate it!”
