Meet Stew
For founders and CEOs operating under real pressure. A small number of clients each year. All work done directly with Stew.
Unlocking Your Inner Force
I founded Unstoppable Force after more than two decades as a senior officer in the British military. My career took me from running covert operations to leading intelligence networks, often in environments where clarity meant survival.
Today, I bring those lessons to the corporate world. I work with CEOs, founders, and boards who know the weight of responsibility at the top. My mission is simple: to help leaders cut through noise, perform under pressure, and lead with conviction.
Direct Access
You work with me, not a team. No associates, no handoffs, no junior coach running the sessions.
Pressure-tested
Every method comes from environments where failure had real consequences.
Selective
I take on a small number of clients each year, by design. This isn't a volume business.
Where It All Began
Unstoppable Force started with both my wife, Liz, and me. After 23 years serving as a senior officer in the British Army, I had experienced leadership in its rawest form, commanding intelligence networks, directing covert operations, and making decisions where clarity and conviction meant survival. When I stepped into the business world, I saw the same pressures playing out in boardrooms, and I knew I could help leaders navigate them with greater strength and focus.
Liz brought a completely different but equally important perspective. Her work has always centred on wellbeing, resilience, and human performance, the part of leadership that ensures success is sustainable. Together, we realised that combining my experience of strategy under fire with her knowledge of how people grow and endure could create something powerful for leaders and organisations.
That perspective — Liz's deep understanding of human performance and resilience — shaped the way I think about what sustainable leadership actually demands. It's woven into how I work with every client.
Our Approach to Unleashing Potential
When you work with me, you’ll be challenged. My coaching, keynotes, and workshops are designed to push leaders past comfort zones and into clarity. This isn’t theory, it’s practical, actionable, and focused on results.
Experiential Learning
I believe leaders learn best by doing, not by listening to abstract theory. Every session I run is deliberately interactive and practical. You’ll be challenged to apply concepts in real time, through exercises, scenarios, and reflection that mirror the pressures of the environments you face. This approach ensures that insights aren’t just remembered; they become habits you can rely on when the stakes are high.
Holistic Development
Sustained performance demands more than a sharp strategy. It requires resilience, clarity, and well-being to work together. My approach combines all three, so leaders don’t just achieve results — they achieve them without burning out or losing perspective. By integrating mental stamina, emotional control, and physical balance into leadership development, I help you build a foundation that lasts well beyond the next quarter.
Community Support
Even though much of my work is one-to-one, you won’t be walking the path alone. Unstoppable Force brings together a community of leaders who value accountability, candour, and growth. It’s a network where insights are shared, challenges are tested, and victories are celebrated. Being part of that circle strengthens your own journey, giving you both support and perspective from those who understand the weight of leadership at the top.
