What can coaches and leaders learn from the people who have mastered the art of appearing on stage and screen? And what can coaching give back to the creative industries?
Answering these questions through his work at the intersection of coaching, corporate leadership and on-screen presentation skills is Gareth Davies, renowned executive television producer of shows like Strictly Come Dancing and Top of the Pops, who is now one of the industry’s leading presenter coaches.
Gareth co-founded The Presenter Studio with fellow executive producer Leon Campbell in 2013, and since then the company has honed and nurtured talent at every level of the TV and film industry, working with the likes of Hugh Grant and Madonna, all the way through to aspiring actors and presenters just starting their careers.
In this episode of The Coach’s Journey Podcast, Gareth shares insights from a glamorous world that he believes has everything to gain from a coaching approach, and he reflects on what it takes to help people embody their authentic selves and communicate to audiences of all sizes.
With media skills being something every business needs in an era dominated by screens, Gareth works with corporate businesses to help them find their voice, and he can still be found practising what he preaches in his ongoing work as a presenter and public speaker.
Gareth and episode host Alex Swallow also talk about:
How to identify the aspects of your personality that reflect who you are in a relatable, interesting way
The concept of hustle and the benefits of going the long way round
How to leverage the power of Instagram to build your audience and grow your business
Presentation skills, tips and approaches that can help you communicate with authenticity and impact
Gareth reveals the huge gaps that exist in creative industries, highlighting the opportunities there are for coaches to help nurture skills and develop talent.

#104: Why I Stopped Selling Coaching by the Session... And What I Learned When I Sold By Periods Of Time Instead
What if the way you sell your coaching is getting in the way of the coaching itself?
In this solo episode, Robbie shares how his thinking and practice around selling coaching packages has evolved — from charging by the session, to selling time-bound coaching engagements that prioritise impact, flexibility and real transformation.
This candid, behind-the-scenes reflection covers everything from awkward money conversations to powerful client breakthroughs — and invites coaches to rethink how they price and package their work. Drawing from his own business journey, the coaching he’s received, and the coaches he's supported, Robbie lays out a compelling case for selling periods of time, not sessions.
Whether you’re new to coaching or looking to grow a more sustainable, generous practice, this episode will help you:
Reflect on how your current engagements are serving you — and your clients
Explore how time-based engagements can build trust, accountability and transformation
Set ambitious goals with clients in ways that feel natural and expansive
Avoid the session-counting mindset that can limit both coach and client
See how changing the way you package your coaching can change the value clients see in it.
Embrace the idea of being a companion on your client’s journey — not just a service provider
With honesty and nuance, Robbie invites you to experiment with what works for you — and to create coaching offers that feel both nourishing and powerful.
