E19: Andrew D'Arcy, Thought Gauge Executive Coaching

From leading banks to leading conversations in coaching, Andrew D'Arcy shares how he shifted from a high-profile corporate career - including CEO roles at Wesleyan Bank and senior leadership positions at RBS - to building a practice centred on curiosity, leadership, and helping others realise their potential.

Andrew reflects on stepping away from the corporate treadmill, why non-executive roles weren't the right fit, and how he chose to invest in becoming a professionally qualified coach. He talks candidly about the challenges of starting out, the importance of networking with intent, and the surprising lessons he's learned from clients along the way. With honesty and practical insight, Andrew reveals what fulfilment looks like for him today - flexibility, purpose, and the joy of seeing others thrive.
