YOU were never meant to follow.
Inclusive coaching for founders, leaders and future leaders.
What I Offer.
Whether you're building something new, shaping something bigger, or stepping into a future you can‘t articulate yet —there's space for you here at Coaching Renegades.
For Founders
You’re making crucial decisions with imperfect information while trying to balance sustainable growth with your values. I help purpose-driven founders zoom out to build clarity and sharpen focus to understand the type of leaders they want to be.
For Leaders
You’re developing teams to ensure targets are met and shaping culture. Collective focus is on company vision, but you’re constantly second-guessing yourself and over-stretched. We’ll work together to define what matters and empower you to lead compassionately with conviction.
For Future Leaders
You’re forging your own path. You have the grit and the hunger to grow, but all that raw potential needs harnessing. With my support, you’ll develop clarity and confidence in your skills to lead with impact. The future needs more leaders like you—let’s make sure you get there.
Who I Am.
I’m Paul Forster (he/they), a lifelong Renegade who has earned a reputation for celebrating and supporting marginalised leaders to make economic and social impacts on local, national and global stages.
I’ve worked with 500+ startup founders (from deep tech spin-outs to social justice orgs, via B2B SaaS solutions and hyper-local community projects) to define what success means for them and lead thriving teams.
As a social entrepreneur, I founded a queer event production collective, a publishing CIC platforming underrepresented writers, and I’m currently advocating for health technology innovators.
Are YOU a Renegade? Are you a purpose-driven leader looking to gain clarity, break free from unhelpful narratives and build a future that reflects your values, strengths, and vision?
Bobby, Founder.
“Paul brings a wealth of knowledge and insight to his work, and it’s clear he speaks from deep experience. He’s an attentive listener, offering both patience and firmness when the moment calls for it—always with genuine care. I truly valued our time working together and would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone feeling uncertain about their leadership path.”
How I work.
My style is kind, humane, and confronting.
Are YOU a…
A CHANGE-MAKER at the bleeding edge of innovation who’s not been handed shortcuts?
An UNCONVENTIONAL THINKER who wants to rebuild a system for collective benefit?
An AGITATOR who refuses to fit the mould and strives to disrupt the status quo?
Then I’ll help you harness your uniqueness to release your untapped potential, so you can use your power and influence to prioritise people, planet AND profit.
Ready to start co-creating a better world? I design bespoke coaching packages and work holistically with every client to identify your strengths, clarify what truly matters, and pursue bold, practical goals that unlock lasting impact.
Josh, Leader.
“Paul far exceeded my expectations. He created an environment for exploration, enabling the development of invaluable insights into my leadership. This then fed into my ambitions for how I wanted my role as a leader to develop over the mid- to long-term. Following the coaching there has been a noticeably positive impact on both my internal perception and external projection.”
WHY it matters.
My background in platforming marginalised voices and supporting diverse founders means I know that thinking differently is your competitive edge.
We're on the cusp of epoch-defining advances in artificial intelligence, quantum computing, and biotechnology… but the world is on fire.
I’m unequivocally backing the changemakers, the agitators and the unconventional thinkers to be the leaders of an equitable future we deserve. Let’s reshape your approach to leadership so you can help humanity can thrive into the next century.
Be a Renegade, create a ripple effect:
Change direction.
Own your voice.
Lead with compassion.
Embolden integrity in others.
Heather, Future Leader.
“Paul is disarmingly approachable and relatable thanks to his authenticity. You're put at ease when needed, challenged when appropriate, and given the space to carve out a vision of leadership that reflects who you are, opposed to who others might like you to be. The result is an emotionally intelligent coaching experience, which focuses on the foundations needed to confidently forge your own path.”
