We help high performance business cultures to support their talent and have a positive impact on families and society.

Our original focus was on women because this was, and often still is, the group where the potential positive difference can be greatest. 

Founded by executive coach, Helen Cowan, in 2017 The Tall Wall brings together outstanding coaches located across three continents.   

We work with our clients to:

 - Identify what holds them back. 

 - Understand themselves and realise what could be possible.

 - Overcome their limitations to achieve their goals.

Our story
Helen Cowan started her career at the sharp end of the professional services industry and latterly, trained as a coach in KPMG.  Coaching became her passion and connects viscerally with her belief in equal opportunities in the workplace

When The Tall Wall was founded it was to take this passion to the wider professional services sector and beyond.  The Tall Wall’s particular focus is on working with talented women to empower them and enable them to make the most of their potential, without reliance on positive discrimination.  Empowering women remains central to our philosophy and is expanding and evolving with each engagement.

Our practice affords a privileged insight into the workings of the wider culture in which our clients seek to advance and operate. Consequently, we have seen the benefit to organisations of coaching all their talent, not exclusively women.  For the teams and businesses to really thrive, the playing field needs to be level which means empowerment without bias and a remit that includes men.
