CarolinE
Founder | ACC Accredited Coach
Caroline is the driving force behind The Midlife Man. At just 25 years old, she kickstarted her journey as an entrepreneur, establishing a ground-breaking marketing and events company, later going on to develop consultative and strategic roles working with brands in the private wealth, retail, charity, drinks, legal and entertainment sectors.
Caroline’s coaching career has found her working alongside TV personalities, CEO’s, creatives, founders and individuals across various industries. It was through working with countless men in their midlives who didn’t know where they were going, and didn’t know where to turn, that Caroline came upon the idea for The Midlife Man.
Fiercely passionate about inclusivity, she looked around and saw networks, communities and public support for women, but very little for men. And that didn’t sit right with her.
And so The Midlife Man was born.
Outside of work she enjoys a daily dose of Pilates or fast mum-walking, playing with her two children, and seeing friends (without said children).
DAN
Associate | ACC Accredited Coach
Dan is a solid and knowledgeable coach with a 30 year corporate career working across Professional and financial services, Membership Organisations and Education, typically in transformational roles in complex, content rich organisations.
He made a career U-turn a few years ago and qualified as a coach after feeling the impact of burnout and monotony and has since been working with men to grow, to reimagine, to action.
He is a lecturer, charity Chair, and father to two thousand children (7). We are in awe.
He enjoys sport, reading and supporting his community.
