For CEOs who run everything and tell no one what it costs.
You built something real. But the isolation, the anger, the gap between the person everyone sees and the one you actually are. That is a prison. And there is a way out.
No pitch. Just a conversation to see if this is the right room for you.
The Weight Nobody Sees
You smile in every meeting and panic in every shower. You wake at 3am running through problems you cannot share with your team, your partner, or your mates. There is no one you can be fully honest with. Not your finance director. Not your wife. Not even yourself most days. You carry it because that is what you have always done. But carrying it is killing something inside you. And the people closest to you already know.
The Pattern That Keeps Repeating
The control. The anger that arrives at the wrong moment. The feeling that nothing is ever quite good enough. You have tried to fix it. Better habits. New hires. Another course. Nothing sticks. Because behaviours do not fix programmes. Somewhere years ago a programme got installed. A belief about what you have to be. How tight you have to hold everything. And it is running underneath every decision, every relationship, every 3am spiral. You cannot outwork it. You cannot think your way past it. It has to be excavated.
The Wrong Room
You tried a group once. The chair had a certificate and a warm smile but had never signed the front of a cheque. You were the strongest operator in the room. Giving more than you were getting. It felt like a talking shop. You left thinking you were not the type who joins groups. The truth is simpler. It was the wrong room.
The Price Your Body Is Paying
Your sleep is broken. Your weight has shifted. Your closest relationship is carrying the strain of everything you will not say out loud. You built this business for freedom. Somewhere along the way you built yourself a prison instead. The P&L looks fine. You do not look fine. You are just tired. Not tired from work. Tired-tired. And you cannot remember the last time you actually enjoyed any of it.
No pitch. Just a conversation to see if this is the right room for you.
The CEO Mastermind — Three Pillars
You do not need another book. Another course. Another morning routine that lasts three weeks. You need the thing underneath to change.
This is not coaching. This is not therapy. This is the architecture underneath, rebuilt.
Business
CEO OS. Strategy OS. Systems OS.
The skills that built the first million become the bottleneck at eight. This pillar diagnoses where the business has outgrown its founder. Then it rebuilds the operating system to match the stage the company actually needs. Not motivation. Mechanics.
Mind
Prisons of the Mind. Self Concept. Resilience.
The pattern that keeps repeating has a source. The self-sabotage. The avoidance. The mask you wear every single day that is slowly suffocating you underneath. Pete’s framework excavates it. Not platitudes. Not affirmations. A structured process to dismantle the programme that is actually keeping you trapped.
Body
Physical OS. Nervous System. Relationships.
If your nervous system is shot, no strategy will land. If your marriage is carrying the weight of everything you will not say, no revenue number will ever feel like enough. This is the pillar every other programme ignores. It is the one that changes everything.

What CEOs say about Pete Taylor
From 60-hour weeks & burnout → to calm clarity & doubled turnover
“Then: Working 60hr+ weeks, burnout, constant state of stress, a control freak in his business and marriage. Now: Plays golf 3x a week, fittest he’s been in 15 years, his team more thriving and turnover doubled. Back to dating his wife and whisking her away on romantic trips abroad.”
Jamie Harding
CEO
From feeling stuck and numb → to alive and healthiest I’ve ever been
“I would absolutely recommend working with you to anyone looking for real results. Your guidance has been invaluable, and if anyone is on the fence about investing in this, I’d say it’s a no-brainer. The impact is real, and the peace and direction I’ve gained are priceless.”
Ian Brook
CEO
“Pete and I fell into working together after I saw a post on LinkedIn that really resonated. A chat the week after really got under my skin (in a good way) and for someone who was a stranger to me, really built my trust quickly and we kicked of a 3 month coaching process. What I love is Pete doesn’t preach, doesn’t know my market, doesn’t judge — just listens, really listens and picks out what others do not hear or see. The more we talk, the clearer my weaknesses become and the stronger I get.”
Andy Preston
CEO
From scattered & reactive → to structured, decisive, and clear
“We will not regret working with Pete. Our Company was doing well but not progressing forward. 1 day with Pete and he made it very clear where I am going wrong! First month of working with Pete our turnover accelerated (Quickly!). Goals put in place and we just keep going from strength to strength! Never seen discipline like it! I told myself I did not need help! Trust me I did and Pete was the perfect man for that. Highly recommend.”
Paul Deller
Director
From business owning him → to owning his business again.
“I’ve been working with Pete for the last couple of months and the impact it has had on both my business and myself has been transformative. I’ve taken many courses and worked with a number of coaches, but nothing compares to the work I have done with Pete. The aim was to double my business in 90 days, the clock is currently still ticking, but it now well inside immovable. If you’re looking for a “softly softly” coach, Pete isn’t for you. He says it as it is, sometimes not what you WANT to hear, but always what you NEED to hear.”
Winston Davies
Managing Director
“I’m thrilled to write a fantastic LinkedIn review for Pete Taylor, our outstanding business coach at E&S. Since joining us in January, Pete has made a tremendous difference in our company’s operations and success. Pete has been instrumental in improving our company’s systems and providing excellent advice on boosting profits and attracting new clients. He has a knack for identifying areas where we can improve and has given us the tools we need to get the job done.”
David Evans
CEO
From struggling with confidence → to leading peacefully at home and in business
“I’ve been working with Pete for a little over six months now, and some of the big changes that I saw in myself after starting with Pete: how much more confident I was as a leader and as a father and as a husband. I had much more clarity on what it took to be the person I aspired to be. I’m struggling obviously with my own self confidence, some of my communication skills and reaction versus action and holding steady and being a man that I wanted to be. I saw increases in revenue in my business and in my life.”
Eric Driver
CEO
From anxious and scattered → to calm and in control
“I’ve known Pete for a long time. We were never particularly close, more of a “say hi in passing” kind of relationship. But I’d seen him transform on social media. When I saw he’d taken a big career change, it caught my attention; it was about move, and I respected it straight away. Around the same time, he’d launched his podcast, so I started listening. This was during a stage of my life where I’d just had a baby and was really struggling to balance everything.”
Adam Darn
CEO
From scattered & reactive → to structured, decisive, and clear
“My 1-CEO day with Pete was massively eye opening. I have never delved that deep into my business strategy or who I really am as a person and CEO. To then come out on the other side of that having simplified my business strategy down to its core components for success has giving me unbelievable clarity on where I am going over the next year and more importantly why I need to get there. Thanks Pete and I’m super excited to see where this journey takes me.”
Chris McNaught
CEO
From roommates to deeply connected.
“Before working with Pete, I was carrying a lot of stress from business, I was living mostly inside the prisons of the mind, and in a relationship that felt more like we were roommates than partners. My wife and I weren’t truly connecting or communicating at a deep level, and I was struggling to balance everything while staying grounded in who I am. Since working with Pete, everything has shifted. I’ve found clarity and purpose again. I’m able to recognise the patterns, break the cycles, and show up as the leader and partner I actually want to be.”
Trent Thomason
CEO
From endless grind → to revenue growth with more free time
“When I started working with Pete, I was in limbo mode — with going it alone to start my own agency helping business owners with appointment setters I always feared that others doing it so it was no point of me going it alone, having a lot of fears and procrastinating on things I knew I should do better in my career and business — this is alongside my personal struggles within my relationship with my wife and working on my health to be more dialled in. With it being 10 weeks later now, I have noticed some incredible shifts.”
Taylor O’Hare
Founder
About Pete
Pete built and scaled a business in commercial design and architecture. Bought and built buildings. Won awards. Climbed the corporate ladder before that. From the outside it looked exactly like success.
From the inside he was isolated. Carrying everything alone. Running on the same programmes his clients now come to him to dismantle.
The deeper he went into leadership, the more he realised: the biggest obstacle to scaling isn’t strategy. It’s the leader’s own internal architecture. Their beliefs, patterns, and reactive habits that silently run the show.
He did not study this work in a book. He lived it. Took himself apart first. Then built a codified framework from what he found underneath. Three pillars. Ten operating systems. A 12-month process forged in the same fire you are sitting in right now.
1,000+ CEOs have been through his work. He will say the thing you need to hear, not the thing you want to hear. And every founder who has done this says the same thing afterwards. Nothing else comes close.
Today I work exclusively with £1–30m founders, CEOs and directors in the United Kingdom who are ready for a different kind of partnership. One that combines strategic clarity with psychological depth.
This is for CEOs who are done feeling like this.
It starts with a 15-minute call with Pete. No pitch. No pressure. Just a direct, honest conversation to see if you are the right fit for the room.
