Our Team

Alex Potter
Co-Founder

Alex specialises in transformational coaching and facilitation, with deep expertise in self-leadership, relational dynamics, and rites of passage. Through an integrative approach combining contemplative practice, somatic breathwork, Internal Family Systems, and body-mind integration, he guides clients to better understand themselves, their relationships, their challenges, and their reason for being.

His mission emerged from a profound personal journey—one that taught him how success without inner alignment can become its own form of limitation. Through navigating both the heights of achievement and the depths of personal challenge, Alex discovered that true transformation begins when we have the courage to look beyond external metrics of success.

Prior to Kaizn, Alex spent 10 years as an entrepreneur, founding and scaling multiple businesses in the hospitality and lifestyle sectors, achieving two successful exits.
