Your Connection
Kieran - Experienced Leader, Coach & Outdoor Enthusiast
Upslant is passionate about empowering individuals to become effective and resilient leaders through partnering and personalized coaching, using drop in sessions and outdoor walks in the Midlands area. Dedicated to helping you achieve your leadership goals and develop a strong connection with people; this is for people who struggle to delegate, deal with company growth, work/life balance and learning to lead, not just manage.
We also support Duke of Edinburgh expedition training and assessments, and dedicate time to support men's mental health charities and events.
