My Story
My story is unique - only in that it is my story - and your story is unique too. Events in my life have given me the much needed reminder, that so many of us don't get, that this is not a rehearsal, life is not about waiting for things to change, we have to be our own change.
​
I remain frustrated by the inequality in Manchester, across the UK, and the world, only really brought to life for me after I looked beyond my banking boundaries. So my personal purpose is to 'be the amplifier that can increase the volume for unheard voices, and help them to lead their best possible life.’
​
I'm not a qualified coach, I'm simply someone with a fair amount of experience and knowledge, and if giving you some of that helps, then let's talk about how we do that.
​
My name's Stewart McCombe. In summary, my message to you is, thank you for reading, and how can I help?

Current Roles
Since leaving my banking career in 2009, I have sought to have roles that focus on, and maximise, social impact. This has involved me serving on a number of boards, across different sectors, providing me with insight and experience of how to do it, and how not to do it! Board membership is hugely rewarding, as well as challenging, and coupled with my finance experience, has now led me to tutor on the subject(s). I do this through In>Professional Development, an executive leadership company based in Greater Manchester. This is linked to my role as an Operating Partner with gunnercooke, where I lead on Not For Profit consulting. I also sit on the Investment Committee for the Resonance North West Social Investment Tax Relief Fund.
​
My roles evolve and develop over time, which keeps my network contemporary, linked to a range of leaders locally, nationally and internationally. So from both my current and past roles, I can offer connections to others, guidance on working on/with boards, or insight to a complete career change! This can be done in a range of informal or formal ways, from a coffee to a course, either directly with myself or through the products provided via the organisations I work with.

In summary, what can I do to help you have The Performance Of Your Life?
