Change with Alchemize

Navigate change with purpose

Ambition isn't the problem — lack of support and strategy is. Our hybrid coaching and mentoring is designed to bring the clarity, insight and focus you need to drive positive change in your personal and professional life.

We combine the structured thinking and accountability of traditional coaching, with the real-world insight, pattern recognition and experience of mentorship. Together we will diagnose, assess and manage your challenges, while building a strategy that focuses on sustainable results.

Built on the experience of owning businesses, selling them and experiencing the emotional comedown afterwards, having made mistakes, dealing with uncertainty, lack and then pushing on again to achieve huge success…..Alchemize is how we channel these experiences into positive change, for you.

About Alchemize

Our story

Alchemize is the brainchild of founder/owner turned hybrid coach and mentor, Stephen O'Brien. Having built, scaled, sold and exited several multi-million pound businesses over a diverse forty year career, Stephen decided it was time to use what he knows to help businesses and owners that need someone in their corner. Building on his own lived experience, he completed an internationally recognised Accredited Award in Coach Training (AACT) programme to support him in driving positive change for other businesses and leaders, globally. The hybrid Alchemize approach ensures action beyond theory, clarity derived from real insight, and actionable progress that demands accountability. Above all though, Alchemize is human; we all get anxious, overwhelmed and get in our own way, with our support, that ends here!

Our approach

The process

No two clients or challenges are the same, so we don't offer a set-step process; each programme or course of action is tailored to your needs, goals and ways of working. However, if you're new to coaching and mentorship, this will help you understand what to expect.

Your discovery call

This is the first step and one of the most important. We will have an informal chat to discuss your pain points, aims and assess if we're the right fit for one another.

Diagnose your barriers to success

Whether you're an individual seeking to progress, a startup looking to scale, or a large business leader seeking organisational change for growth, sale or exit planning, we will assess and collaborate on the routes to change and sustainable success.

Develop your tailored programme plan

Here, we'll take what we know and transform it into a series of actions, plans and clear tasks. We will push clarity, decision-making and accountability, so you need to be ready to work. We'll be with you every step of the way, working in one-to-one, remote or on-site sessions to suit your needs.

Absolutely. In fact, this is one of the strongest applications of a hybrid coaching and mentorship model.
A business leader often needs support in two interconnected areas:
1. Their personal leadership (coaching).
2. Their business strategy and growth (mentorship).
Running these alongside one another allows you to address both the person and the business, because the success of one often influences the other. By developing both the leader and the business, you'll be better equipped to make confident decisions, lead your team effectively, and build a resilient organisation.
We work with ambitious individuals and organisations who are committed to building, growing, and leading successful businesses. Whether you're an entrepreneur with a new business idea, a startup founder seeking sustainable growth, a business owner looking to scale, or an organisation developing its leadership capability, our hybrid business coaching and mentorship provides the strategic guidance and practical support needed to achieve your goals.
We work with:

- Your business and current challenges.
- Your goals and aspirations.
- What you want to achieve through coaching and mentorship.
- Whether we're the right fit to work together.
Following the discovery session, we'll recommend a tailored coaching and mentorship programme based on your needs.

Sessions may include:

- Leadership development.
- Problem-solving and decision-making.
- Accountability and progress reviews.
- Practical business mentoring based on experience.

Our aim is not only to help you solve today's challenges but also to develop the confidence, leadership, and capability to make informed decisions and build a resilient, sustainable business for the future.
This can be done as sessions one-to-one or within your organisation.
