We are a global coaching organisation on a mission to empower people and businesses to grow, thrive, and lead with purpose.

At Mindful Talent, we believe that the most powerful coaching goes beyond performance.

It changes how people see themselves, how they relate to others, and how they show up in every area of their lives. Our work blends neuroscience, psychology, mindfulness, and intuition — grounded in science, deepened by wisdom.

We specialise in supporting individuals, teams, and organisations through positive behavioural change, greater alignment, and sustainable success. Whether you're looking to train as a coach, develop your leaders, or invest in your own growth, you'll find a home here.

However you're looking to grow, 

we have a pathway for you.

Coach Training

Our flagship programme, The Transformational Coach, is an AC-accredited, 20-week journey that will qualify you as a professional coach and change the way you see yourself and the world around you. This isn't just training. It's a philosophy for life.

1:1 Coaching

1:1 Coaching Work directly with one of our experienced, heart-led coaches for a deeply personal coaching experience. Whether you're navigating a career transition, seeking greater clarity, or simply ready to invest in yourself, we'll meet you exactly where you are.

Corporate & Organisational Coaching

We partner with organisations to develop conscious, authentic leaders and build coaching cultures that drive sustainable performance. Our work blends neuroscience, mindfulness, and practical coaching tools to create lasting behavioural change across teams and organisations.

Workshops, Retreats & Events

From transformational workshops to our annual not-for-profit We Are Love retreat in partnership with our charity partner 20/20 Levels, our events bring the Mindful Talent philosophy to life in powerful, experiential ways. Something is always happening in our community.

Head and Heart

We blend the science of neuroscience and psychology with the depth of mindfulness, intuition, and presence. Rigorous and soulful. Grounded and transformational.

The Sacred Container

Every coaching relationship is a sacred space. We hold that space with care, integrity, and deep respect for the human being in front of us.

Philosophy for Life

What we teach doesn't stay in the coaching room. It changes how you lead, how you listen, how you love, and how you show up everywhere.

Being of Service

We are driven by a genuine desire to help people grow. Not from ego. Not from performance. From love and a deep belief in human potential.

Culture is Everything

We believe that culture is the most important ingredient in any organisation's long-term, sustainable success. When people feel seen, valued, and supported, they don't just perform better — they become better. That's the kind of change we help organisations create.

"We loved having Mindful Talent at Tesco Bank. The audience were inspired by Alister's relaxed presenting style — many commented they would have liked to have stayed all day. Since the session there have been many discussions on the topic, people taking on the 21 Day Challenge, and one person said a quote Alister shared changed her life. We would definitely recommend Alister for more sessions."

— Michelle Wright, Operational Risk Framework Manager, Tesco Bank

"I have had the pleasure to work with Alister Gray to create Grokker’s first ever High-Performance Mindfulness Series. After an extensive search throughout the US and UK, we were so happy to find Alister to co-create and present this series. His knowledge of mindfulness and coaching combined with his natural ability to connect with an audience in a powerful way, made him the perfect expert to work with. I am looking forward to many future collaborations with Alister."

— Amber McCormick , Head of UK Content, Grokker Inc 

"Each session leaves me feeling empowered, focused, and energised. I genuinely feel more aligned with my purpose and more confident in my ability to lead and live with intention." — Shaun Sookoo, CEO, Viomar Holdings

"Alister's positive energy was infectious and he left the group feeling energised. Many of my colleagues came in the next day already using the tools and techniques they learnt in the session."

— Kristina, Brand Planning & Ops, Nike

"The Mindful Talent team delivered an amazing workshop on how to leverage breath to affect energy, mood, and stress levels. We have already started putting the techniques to work in the office as a team!"
