Helping Rowers and Leaders Perform at Their Best
I believe performance is a skill that can be learned.
Whether in business, rowing, or life, the people who achieve extraordinary results are rarely extraordinary because of talent alone. They are curious. They continuously learn. They challenge themselves. And they commit to becoming a little better every day.
My mission is to help others do the same.
Through the Faster Podcast, Faster Newsletter, coaching, and training plans, I share practical lessons from elite sport, business leadership, sports science, and my own experiences as a Masters rower and executive.
Why Learn From Bill?
For more than 20 years, I have led businesses and transformation programmes within Fortune 500 companies, partnering with leaders, teams, and organisations to improve performance and achieve ambitious goals.
Along the way, I have learned that the principles of high performance are remarkably consistent. Whether you're leading a multinational business, preparing for a rowing regatta, or pursuing a personal goal, success comes from having the right mindset, the right process, and the discipline to execute.
At the same time, I have spent years competing as a Masters rower, studying how the world's best athletes, coaches, and sports scientists approach performance.
Today, my passion is bringing these worlds together and translating complex ideas into practical actions that help others improve.
My Comeback Story
In 2013, my life changed in an instant.
A catastrophic accident left me facing challenges that I could never have imagined. In many ways, it forced me to start again.
The experience fundamentally changed how I thought about performance, resilience, and human potential.
My recovery taught me that most limits are far more flexible than we believe. It taught me the importance of purpose, disciplined action, and the power of focusing on what can be controlled rather than what cannot.
The methods I used to rebuild myself became the foundation for how I approach business, rowing, coaching, and life today.
Since then, I have been committed to sharing those lessons with others who want to achieve more than they thought possible.
"Nothing prepared me for what happened in 2013, but everything I have learned since has shaped who I am today."
Rowing Highlights
As a Masters rower, I continue to pursue performance and test my ideas in the real world.
Highlights include:
- Multiple Swiss Masters Championship titles
- Multiple World Masters Championship titles
- Henley Masters Regatta winner
- Multiple Silver Skiff International Time Trial titles
- International competitor across Europe and beyond
Competing at a high level as a Masters athlete has reinforced something I strongly believe:
Age is not a barrier to improvement.
The desire to learn, adapt, and evolve remains one of the greatest advantages any athlete can possess.
