the guide
I'm a certified life and leadership coach, GiANT Worldwide 100X Leader, and 5 Voices practitioner, with five years of professional coaching and more than a decade supporting people through the significant moments of their lives.
Before coaching full-time, I spent years in ministry-based leadership, working with young people on identity, purpose, and questions that don't have tidy answers. That shaped how I show up in a coaching conversation: patience, willingness to stay in the uncomfortable parts, and a conviction that people are more capable than they've been told.
I tried a lot of different ways of helping people before landing on coaching. What settled it: people own the change when they find it themselves. Advice tells you what to do. Coaching helps you discover what you already know and trust it.
That's what lil' bird is built on: a real conversation between who you are right now and who you're becoming, with someone in your corner who's paying attention. There's no borrowed script or system to perform.
My clients are usually in the middle of something: a career shift, a relationship transition. They're stuck, tired of living small, and not sure how they got here. Nothing about them is broken. They're ready to face their story and move, and they've often been trying to figure it out alone for too long.
Everyone's path looks different, but these are the shifts people mention most, often in ways they weren't expecting.
I'm here to help you find your own answers again, and stick with you while you let go of what's weighing the backpack down. The best coaching works because you own every move. You're the expert on your life. My job is to ask the question you haven't been able to ask yourself, and stay in the room when the answer gets uncomfortable.
I bring my GiANT Worldwide training into every engagement as a lens. It helps us see how you're wired, how you lead yourself, and what's driving the patterns you're in. With the Inner Compass assessment, we often get to something real quickly.
This is coaching, so I won't be offering therapy or advice. We both commit to it, so the conversation goes somewhere.
Real clients in transition: career changes, relocations, seasons of feeling stuck. Swipe or use the arrows for more.
"I was dealing with a tough transition — moving across the country, figuring out my career path, and dealing with post-lock-in emotional fatigue. Luke asked me to dream, something I hadn't done in a long time. I'm confident that even after one session, you will feel empowered and capable."
"Working with Luke has been a great way to kickstart my journey towards wholeness and being centred. He's amazing at reflecting your own emotions and desires back to you in a way that helps you focus on what you truly want out of life. I would absolutely recommend him."
"My time with Luke has felt nothing short of a gift. As the seasons changed, Luke showed up to help guide me as a whole person — not just in the workplace, but how I show up in life and relationships as well."
"What's helped me most has been Luke's encouragement to be curious about what might be different if I tried something new — and how life might look if I follow the creative idea that comes to me. Allowing time to reflect during and after our sessions has been so helpful."
"I came with four objectives: health, finance, work, and relationships. Luke's encouragement, listening skills, and supportive coaching style helped me delve into each area. I've reached a greater work/life balance, more confidence, and a clear vision for my future."
"Luke's a fantastic guide — his style is very laid back, allowing me to work myself verbally towards the direction I want to go. Judgement doesn't exist with him and he has no agenda. He'll give you nudges and challenges, but he will not outright tell you what to do."
"One welcome surprise was the lack of tracking toward specific professional goals — the exercises focused on deeper themes and passions in life. An important breakthrough was realising the calling didn't have to be about duty. It was OK to ask, 'Ed, what do you want?' I'd recommend this to anyone at a transition in life."
"If you want to be led by someone who lives out what they are talking about, Luke is the real deal."
"Luke possesses an uncanny and uncommon ability to build immediate trust and safety."
"I uncovered blind spots, gained practical tools, and felt recognised for who I was becoming — not just what I was producing. A powerful experience for anyone ready to grow."
"If you're looking to elevate your game and find a coach who genuinely sees you — Luke is your go-to."
"His coaching gave me the clarity, tools, and confidence to lead with purpose — and the impact showed up in both my personal life and professional recognition."
You don't need it figured out first. Start with a First Flight: one session, no commitment beyond the conversation.
