Lead Boldly. Create Certainty. Succeed Authentically.
Steve Barrett
It's great to meet you!
"I will help you embrace change, uncover your true calling and make bold moves towards your goals. By fostering inner confidence and authenticity, I will empower you to achieve the success and happiness you deserve, even when it feels impossible."
I see you taking what you have gained from my coaching and using it to positively impact other people who you interact with, making the world a better place. If this resonates with you, then you are the person I want to partner with.
My purpose has always been to help others and I am at my happiest when I am doing just that. As a coach, my intention is to help you find your certainty, as you know what's best for you. My values are boldness, curiosity, optimism, authenticity and supportiveness, which align powerfully when it comes to dealing with change. I see myself as the bridge that can help you move from your current situation to your desired future state.
I am not your typical coach as I take a bold approach to help you to achieve your goals your way, by helping you to create your certainty.
As someone who has been there and done it, we will speak the same language and share the same scars, making it easy for us to connect.
"I help business owners and leaders create innovative, profitable businesses with engaged teams and winning cultures.
By unlocking the true talent within their organisation, I empower them to scale, succeed and become the leaders people aspire to work for"
I have spent most of my professional career in senior operational roles, up to the Director level, across multiple sectors. These include retail, hospitality, and B2B businesses, both corporate, franchise and privately-owned.
Throughout my career, I aimed to be the leader that others wanted to follow. I took pride in caring for my people as much as I cared about the business, as it's the people who deliver the successes for any business. I am proud to say that I have always had the courage to be myself and challenge traditional thinking and perceived limitations.
I am an avid learner, and that drove me to add Gallup, ICF and EMCC credentials to back up my practical experience. Knowledge is power, and it's something that should be shared.
I believe that everyone is unique and has the ability to achieve whatever they want. This is only possible if they believe they can and approach it in a way that is natural to them.
I made the bold decision to connect to my purpose and set up Black Flag Coaching. My goal is to create a wave that will help others to find happiness and achieve their goals, by embracing change and uncertainty through the power of coaching. I understand that change can be uncomfortable, but I also know that it is in the moments of change that growth, development, learning and amazing moments happen.
I now live my life between Spain and the UK and partner with clients from around the world.
My Approach
The decision to work together is a true two-way process and I will only partner with clients when we are both sure that I am the right coach for them.
I take a bold approach, to help you to see past limiting beliefs, so that you can fulfil your potential, your way.
Whether I am working with you individually, or with your team, I ensure that everything we do is tailored around the outcomes you are looking for.
Taking a data-based approach, by utilising strengths assessment, I help you to understand your unique talents and your potential blind spots.
By understanding what makes you unique, we will be able to apply your super powers to the action planning phase, meaning that you are attacking your challenges in a way that feels engaging, authentic and highly effective.
Throughout our interactions, I will help you gain the confidence to create your certainty, so you can make your goals your new reality.

The Black Flag Ethos
Announce your presence and signal your intent!
Black Flag Coaching was inspired by the Golden Age of Piracy- but not the myths about swords and treasure.
The real story? Pirates were some of the original rule-breakers in leadership. They rejected hierarchy. They built diverse, self-governed crews.
They shared power, voted on decisions, and created systems that valued strengths over titles.
That spirit of rebellion, fairness, and bold reinvention is what lives at the heart of Black Flag Coaching.
This is coaching for leaders who are ready to:
Challenge outdated ways of working
Lead with purpose, not just pressure
Create certainty in uncertain times
Build something meaningful that truly lasts
The values I coach by:
🖤 Boldness – Daring to do things differently
🖤 Optimism – Seeing opportunity in change
🖤 Curiosity – Asking better questions to find better answers
🖤 Authenticity – Leading in a way that feels true to you
No fluff. No generic models. Just real conversations that create real change.
