I've always believed people are capable of more than they think.

I spent years in HR and people development at some brilliant organisations. But the bit I always loved most was the coaching. So eventually, someone I trusted pulled me aside and said: you're an amazing coach, you should be doing this full time.

That was the nudge I needed. I took the leap and Shane Evans Coaching was born. Best thing I've ever done.

I've always believed people are capable of more than they think.

Coach, trainer, facilitator, HR consultant and author. Here's how I got here.

Shane Evans - MSN most influential coaches to watch in 2026

I spent years working in HR and people development at some brilliant organisations, including Mars, where I got to see first-hand what great leadership looks like, and what it costs when it's missing.

Throughout that time I was coaching, facilitating and developing people on the side. And if I'm honest, it was always the bit I loved most.

Eventually, someone I respected pulled me aside and said something that changed everything: "You're an amazing coach. You should be doing this full time."

That was the nudge I needed. I'd always wanted the freedom of running my own business, the idea that I could make a real difference to more people, on my own terms. So I took a deep breath and made the leap.

That's how Shane Evans Coaching was born. And it's the best thing I've ever done.

What I stand for

I believe leadership starts from the inside out. Before you can lead a team or a business, you have to lead yourself, and that means being honest about what's getting in the way.

I work with people who are ready for that conversation. People who want more clarity, more confidence and more impact. People who are done waiting for permission.

"I didn't realise how much I was in my own way."

Be Your Own Leader

A guide to leading yourself first

This book is for anyone who's ever felt like they're waiting, waiting for the right moment, the right opportunity, or someone else to give them the green light.

Be Your Own Leader is a practical, honest and human guide to leading yourself first. No jargon, no corporate frameworks, just real insight and tools you can use from day one.

Because when you lead yourself well, everything else gets easier.

Honest. Practical. Human.

This isn't a book about becoming someone else. It's about becoming more fully yourself, and then using that to lead better.

Written from years of coaching real people through real challenges, it's the book I wish I'd had when I was figuring it all out.

"When you lead yourself well, everything else gets easier."
