In his coaching work he brings together hard-edged commercial experience and strategic insight with a sophisticated understanding of organisational dynamics and the personal challenges facing senior leaders. Clive’s clients gain the opportunity to look more deeply at their professional lives and explore their personal and professional dilemmas at work. Through his direct and honest coaching, his clients become more aware of their strengths and how to tackle their development areas. As a result they often identify possibilities, which they have not noticed before, to implement new leadership approaches, improve their working relationships and manage their careers more effectively. Clive knows how to create practical and achievable action plans which enable his clients to make changes happen.

While developing his own coaching practice, Clive worked as an executive coach with London Business School for a number of years, during which time he led cross-cultural teams of coaches on senior leadership programmes across three continents (Europe, USA and the Far East) for a global investment bank. He is now a visiting faculty member at the INSEAD Global Leadership Centre in Paris where he coaches an internationally diverse range of senior executives.

Clive is an award-winning writer, researcher and international speaker in the area of executive coaching, having written six editions of the market-leading Ridler Report (a research programme which reports on the changing organisational uses of coaching) and numerous articles.

Before becoming an executive coach Clive had twenty years’ hands-on experience in financial organisations and professional services firms, in senior corporate finance and strategic planning roles in organisations such as Bankers Trust, Deloitte and Abbey National where he worked closely with the Group CEO and main board on the bank’s strategy. After a twenty year career Clive founded the Mayfair-based executive coaching practice Ridler & Co in 2001, following his passion for helping high achieving individuals to develop their leadership and professional lives in ways which are in tune with their motivations and which make the most of their talents.

He is an APECS Accredited Executive Coach and London Business School MBA. He qualified as a Chartered Accountant with Deloitte and is also a qualified psychotherapist, holding professional registration with UKCP and membership of ISPSO (International Society for the Psychoanalytic Study of Organisations).
