Meet Human Performance Coaching
Executive Coach and Performance professional
Meet Stuart ‘Smudge’ the face behind Human Performance:
Have you ever thought about the following questions?
What would happen if you did? Or maybe What wouldn’t happen if you didn’t?
Whether you want to move on from something or do something better, here’s your chance for real change.
Having left the Royal Air Force Regiment in 2019 after 11 years and two Operational tours I have been fortunate enough to specialise in numerous roles, instructing general military training, facilitating a suite of subjects in a Staff Development Programme and also coaching professionally. Since 2016 to the present day I have been privileged enough to gain over three thousand hours’ of coaching experience. Through facilitative 1-2-1 and group sessions, utilising unique knowledge and experience.
I hold a Private Pilots Licence, achieving my childhood dream, I have enjoyed many sports including Bobsleigh with the RAF, walking and generally being outside of my comfort zone, somewhere I find the most learning can take place.
Helping you to help yourself... This concept sparked my curiosity in helping you to do something different that works for you and driven by you. How we do this is by eliciting the answers you don't know you unconsciously want and aligning them with the answer you actually do want and bringing these forward to your conscious to bring action.
I've learned to help you achieve this through a variety of self development courses starting with NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming), then moving onto hypnotherapy and CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy). These and other learnings have helped me have a different understanding of how we use language both with our internal dialogue and externally with others, plus many other tools, working on the premise of coach the person not the book.
A professional coach working in the non-directive using yourself to help yourself be able to move forward in the congruent manor.
So why Coaching? Coaching is about moving forward and this methodology helped me realise many things about myself, things I have taken forward and achieved that for many years I didn't think I could. Yet ultimately it is being with you in that penny drop moment, when you take that deep breath in and make that congruent decision that just sits right. Huge self-worth.
I look forward to us working together.
A top proffesional who cares about his clients. I was sceptical at first but he changed my life. He helped me deal with things and look forward to the future. Thanks Smudge.

One of the my initial statements to smudge were “I’m never going to change”. Little did I know he would help guide me to a completely different mindset which helped me care for myself again. There are no words that can describe how incredible Stuart smith is. He is so unapologetically himself and his aura is uplifting to be around. I feel so privileged to have met him. He is such an inspiration to me that it led me to wanting to become a therapist. I aspire to help others just like he helped me. Thank you for being you smudge :)

Smudge gave me back me. The tools to move forward with my life and the strength to address the past. To prioritise and compartmentalise and to understand what I can and cannot change. Thank you Smudge.
