I am Julian McKenzie, founder of JM Business Coaching & Growth, and I help individuals, teams and organisations unlock growth through coaching, development and purposeful leadership.

Over the past 20 years, I have built a career leading strategic partnerships, commercial growth, customer success, team development and organisational improvement across education, technology, SaaS, membership and B2B sectors. I have worked with stakeholders at every level and understand the importance of aligning people, performance and culture to achieve lasting success. 

My work is grounded in the belief that coaching has the power to strengthen confidence, build capability and create meaningful change. For individuals, this can mean greater clarity, confidence and career progression. For teams, it means stronger cohesion, communication and shared performance. For organisations, it means building workplace cultures that support development, resilience, adaptability, transformation and strategic growth.

I bring a practical, collaborative and results-focused approach to every engagement, helping clients turn potential into progress and ambition into sustainable outcomes.

I combine accredited coaching practice with extensive commercial and leadership experience. My background includes leading growth strategies, strategic partnerships, customer success, team development and organisational improvement across complex sectors. I bring a practical, commercially aware and people-focused approach to every coaching engagement.
