Anthony Ward Rushton

About me

I’m Anthony Ward Rushton, a leadership specialist and executive coach with over 30 years of global

experience in banking, learning, and talent development. My career has taken me from frontline banking

to leading learning teams across regions for one of the world’s largest financial institutions.

I’ve spent decades helping senior leaders strengthen their impact, build high-performing teams, and

navigate the real behavioural changes that drive organisational performance. Today, I bring that

experience into bespoke coaching and team interventions designed to create clarity, confidence, and

measurable results

How I can help

1-2-1 Career Coaching

For individuals who are ready to navigate how they work, lead and grow.

Anthony's coaching is for individuals who want clarity, confidence, and a more intentional direction for their

career or life. Through tailored conversations, he helps clients understand what matters most, uncover

what's holding them back, and build simple, practical habits that move them forward. No templates, no

one-size-fits-all — just genuine support designed around the person and their goals.

Leadership Workshops

Creating the solid team dynamics to elevate and enhance business results

Great teams are built through clarity, trust, and better ways of working together. Anthony helps senior

leadership teams understand what's really driving or blocking their performance, and develop healthier team dynamics. His sessions create honest conversations, stronger

collaboration around shared goals, and practical shifts that lead to better decisions and better business

results.

I bring over 30 years of global leadership experience

I’ve spent more than three decades in banking and finance - starting as a frontline banker and later leading learning and talent functions at a global level. Working across regions and cultures has given me a deep understanding of what helps people perform at their best and what gets in the way. This experience shapes everything I do.

I tailor every solution... built around your context, your challenges, your goals

Every individual and every team operates differently, so I take the time to understand their environment, culture, challenges, and goals. Using diagnostic tools and thoughtful inquiry, I design bespoke coaching or team interventions that address the real issues and create practical, lasting change.

I’ve helped senior executives strengthen their leadership and impact

Throughout my career, I’ve coached C-suite leaders, delivered strategic leadership programmes, and facilitated team workshops for executives all over the world. I’ve seen first-hand how the right conversations and interventions can transform individual performance, shift organisational culture, and create stronger, more cohesive leadership teams.

My style is straight-talking, pragmatic, and focused on real results

Clients work with me because I’m honest, grounded, and focused on what will actually move things forward. I combine creativity, resilience, and practical tools to help people build the habits and behaviours that drive progress — whether that’s improving team dynamics, increasing personal clarity, or building confidence in how they lead and grow.

Over my 30+ year career, I’ve had the privilege of working with senior leaders, high-performing teams, and talented individuals across the globe.
