My story

My journey to transforming lives and businesses

I started Brilliant Coaching out of a passion for helping people and businesses break free from the challenges that hold them back.

Meet Clive Sinclair

A trusted partner in business and personal development

My working life has included more than 45 years in business, with extensive experience in sales, business development and franchising. I have helped owners start, develop and strengthen businesses and have worked at senior level with a franchise network for many years. Alongside that, I have spent more than 24 years coaching and counselling people through personal, relationship and career challenges.

Clients work with me because they want an experienced person who will listen, speak plainly and stay involved in finding a practical way forward. The situation may call for careful personal support, commercial judgement or a combination of the two.
