Long Bio (Coaching Specific)– 3rd person

Will Polston is a best-selling author, entrepreneur, award-winning strategist, and one of the UK’s leading business performance coaches. He works with high-performing entrepreneurs and ambitious individuals, helping them master their mindset, align with their deeper purpose, and live energising, fulfilling lives.

Will’s personal journey underpins everything he teaches. After achieving “traditional success” as a broker in his early 20s, he found himself financially secure—but deeply unfulfilled. It was only after attending a personal development seminar, prompted by a surprising twist of fate, that he realised the core belief driving him—“money equals happiness”—was flawed. That clarity sparked a turning point. He walked away from the life he thought he wanted and committed to a new mission: helping others transform excuses into results and build lives they genuinely love.

Since then, Will has dedicated his life to the study and application of behavioural change, performance psychology, and human potential. Drawing from disciplines including NLP, coaching, neuroscience, and strategic thinking, he blends deep mindset work with practical, structured frameworks that make transformation not just inspiring—but inevitable.

He is known for his rare ability to spot misalignment quickly, reframe problems at the identity level, and make complex concepts land with instant clarity. Clients say he isn’t just a coach—he’s a trusted thinking partner. Someone who helps them get out of their own way, overcome burnout, and reconnect with a sense of purpose, energy, and direction.

Having delivered over 7,000 hours of 1:1 coaching and supported more than 2,500 business owners and entrepreneurs through events, workshops, and coaching programmes, Will has a unique lens on the patterns that separate those who achieve lasting success from those who stay stuck. He’s not afraid to dig deep and have the hard conversations, creating a safe space for ambitious people to confront their fears, upgrade their thinking, and lead lives they’re proud of.

In 2023, Will published his first book, North Star Thinking: Master Your Mindset and Live a Life You Love, which became a #1 Amazon best seller. The book has been praised for its actionable insights, clear frameworks, and powerful message of aligning with one’s true purpose to drive both personal and professional success.

Will holds credentials as a Certified Master Coach, NLP Master Practitioner, and Member of the International Coach Federation. He’s spoken on the TEDx stage, blogged for The Huffington Post, and been a finalist for multiple national awards including ‘Coach of the Year’ and ‘Best Business Enabler’ at the National Entrepreneur Awards. In 2023, he won the Business Champion Award for Best Business Enabler, and also received the Expert Coach of Excellence accreditation.

Whether he’s coaching entrepreneurs or delivering keynotes, Will’s mission is always the same:

To empower people to transform excuses into results and live a life they love.

Long Bio (with all interests)– 3rd person

Will Polston is a best-selling author, entrepreneur, award-winning strategist, and one of the UK’s leading business performance coaches. He works with high-performing entrepreneurs and ambitious individuals, helping them master their mindset, align with their deeper purpose, and live energising, fulfilling lives.

With a background in finance and a track record of “traditional success” as a broker in his early twenties, Will had the material achievements many aspire to – yet he felt deeply unfulfilled. A personal turning point led him to realise that success without purpose is hollow. That realisation ignited a mission that has driven him ever since: to help others transform excuses into results and live a life they love – not just for themselves, but for their families, communities, society, and even humanity as a whole.

Since then, Will has dedicated his life to the study and application of behavioural change, performance psychology, and human potential. Drawing from disciplines including NLP, coaching, neuroscience, and strategic thinking, he blends deep mindset work with practical, structured frameworks that make transformation not just inspiring, but inevitable.

He is known for his rare ability to spot misalignment quickly, reframe problems at the identity level, and make complex concepts land with instant clarity. Clients say he isn’t just a coach—he’s a trusted thinking partner. Someone who helps them get out of their own way, overcome burnout, and reconnect with a sense of purpose, energy, and direction.

In 2023, he published his first book, North Star Thinking: Master Your Mindset and Live a Life You Love, which became a #1 Amazon bestseller. The book outlines the mindset shifts and frameworks that have helped thousands of entrepreneurs regain control, reconnect with purpose, and create meaningful success on their own terms.

Over the years, Will has delivered over 7,000 hours of 1:1 coaching, supported more than 2,500 business owners and entrepreneurs through his programmes and events, and built a reputation for his warm, humble, yet deeply strategic coaching style.

Alongside his coaching work, Will is a multi-business entrepreneur and investor. His ventures include:

• Co-Founder of Twenty Two – a UK-based medicinal mushroom supplement company focused on optimal wellness.

• Co-Founder of Super Profits – a company helping entrepreneurs take control of their finances, improve cash flow, and achieve financial freedom.

• Co-Founder of Leap Growth Investments – a private equity firm that funds and supports construction professional services businesses.

• Angel Investor and NED to NetHub – a networking tech platform helping group organisers grow and manage their communities more effectively.

• Non-Executive Director for the British and Irish Trading Alliance (BITA) – a not-for-profit focused on fostering meaningful business relationships across the UK and Ireland.

Will’s diverse portfolio reflects his passion for impact, whether through mindset transformation, business growth, strategic investments, or wellness innovation; everything he does ties back to helping people live more meaningful, purpose-aligned lives.

Outside of work, Will enjoyed 23 years playing ice hockey, is a keen skier, and is currently completing his private pilot’s licence – proof that he doesn’t just coach others to pursue fulfilment and growth… he lives it himself.
