Graham Cherrington, Executive Coach - CAPE TOWN

Executive Coaching for Cape Town CEOs Ready to Scale with Clarity

If you’re the CEO or founder of a growing business, you’ve likely hit a point where growth slows — not because of market conditions, but because the business still depends on you. You’re juggling operations, making every decision, and struggling to lead strategically. Your clarity is fading — and with it, your capacity to scale.

That’s where executive coaching comes in. Based in Cape Town, I help leaders like you gain clarity, free up leadership bandwidth, and create the structure and accountability to scale — without burning out.

Need more strategic input than leadership coaching alone? Read about my business consulting work.

Let’s talk and see if I can help.

Is This You?

I work with CEOs and founders of established businesses turning over R15m+ per year — often because they’re facing one or more of the following challenges:

“I lack guidance” - You’re tired of figuring everything out alone. You need a trusted sounding board to work through challenges with clarity.
“I am the business” - Your business can’t run without you. Everything relies on you — and it’s not sustainable.
“It’s all work and little reward” - You’re working hard, but it’s not translating into freedom, profit, or peace of mind. It’s starting to feel like you’ve bought yourself a job.
“I worry about the culture” - There’s a lack of accountability and cohesion. People show up — but they’re not pulling together. You’re unsure how to shift it.

What You'll Get from Executive Coaching

Strategic Clarity – Define and align around a clear, focused plan
Leadership growth – Expand your own leadership capacity and develop your team
Execution rhythm – Install systems for focus, follow-through, and accountability
Improved culture – Shift your team dynamics to foster ownership and cohesion
Sustainable scale – Build a business that grow without depending on you for everything

The Leadership Growth Framework

The success of your business is directly tied to your leadership effectiveness. Executive coaching is about unlocking that next level of clarity, confidence, and presence.

In our work together, we’ll focus on practical, personal leadership growth — both functional and emotional — so you can lead with purpose, decisiveness, and impact.

The Framework Covers:

Personal Mastery
Strengthen your leadership foundation with clarity of purpose, vision, and values.
Courage & Confidence
Build resilience, face hard decisions, and lead high-stakes conversations with empathy.
Inspiring Followership
Energize and align your team around a compelling, authentic vision.

Trust & Letting Go
Scale your leadership by building accountability and trusting your team again.
Precise Thinking
Learn frameworks to tackle complex problems with clarity and speed.
Creative Leadership
Unlearn habits that no longer serve you — whether you lean too tactical or too accommodating.
