HIGH Performance
The practice of coaching aims to. facilitate growth, progress, development and forward motion in the direction of the clients choosing.
Conducted in a one-to-one or group setting, coaching can enable individuals and teams to move beyond perceived limits, explore opportunities for growth and identify clear, practical steps forward towards a better future.
Our consultancy services aim to provide practical, bespoke, psychologically informed solutions to the specific needs of the organisation. The consultancy process typically begins with an in-depth needs analysis of the organisation.
Based on the findings, a set of research-backed, evidence-based recommendations will be made aimed at improving performance, optimising employee wellbeing, and addressing the specific issues the organisation are facing.
Innate work with individuals, teams and organisations that are striving to achieve maximum levels of performance, however defined.
Our services enable clients to explore areas of growth and development, get beyond perceived limits, redefine what is possible, and take clear, practical steps forwards towards success.

“Calum and the work we have done together have been invaluable to what I have achieved this season.
His ability to simplify things and plan with each individual has helped drive the club forward to new heights.
He is not only a great friend but someone who I lean on at times of success or failure.
“From our first conversation Calum has approached our sessions with a great deal of care and positivity. He has made me feel as if he’s as passionate about me reaching my goals as I am, often coming to me with new targets, ideas and strategies.
Over the 18 months to 2 years we have worked together, he has challenged my mentality and I’ve felt significant development and growth in my mindset as a result. I’ve now become what I can only describe as a truer version of myself.
“Specifically, I improved my ability to identify goals, use questioning and appreciative inquiry, and move players towards strengths rather than solely addressing deficiencies.
Calum’s work was informative and has shaped my own coaching practice – he combines a unique understanding and qualification in science with acute sensibilities that get to the core of where potential lies. I thoroughly recommend his services.
"I have spent invaluable time with Callum, it is so good to chat with someone who has played professional rugby and understands the fundamentals of playing within a highly competitive, driven and successful team.
Through his own experience he has taught me strategies to deal effectively with stressful situations by building my strengths and confidence and finding new ways to address old problems. He has helped me to respond tactfully while communicating with skill and authority to improve team motivation and productivity.
“Calum has helped me a lot in my transition from player to coach, our conversations always help me to channel my ideas in the best way to bring all the emotions needed to a meeting, or how to approach a player.
Is great to have a person who lived and breathed professional sport giving you the advice. He has a player, coach and psychological approach to the conversations and that is already a win. I’m more than grateful for his support, and learned a lot about myself.
Innate was founded by Calum Clark following a 14-year career as a professional rugby union player. During this time he played for Leeds, Northampton Saints, Saracens and England, winning 3 premiership titles and 2 European cups.
Alongside these successes, he also experienced a number of challenges, including career-threatening injuries, lengthy playing bans, and a number of off-field, personal issues. It was during these times that he experienced a lack of the professional expertise, support, and guidance required to navigate them successfully.
This prompted him to study a Psychology MSc at the University of East London. He has since completed a second Masters in Applied Positive Psychology and Coaching Psychology, becoming an accredited coach with the European Mentoring and Coaching Council.
Since retiring in 2021, Calum has gained valuable experience applying his skills, knowledge, and training within the Saracens organisation, most recently in the position of Head of Psychological Performance. His work made a valuable contribution to the club's 2023 premiership title-winning campaign, with a number of his clients going on to excel at the 2023 Rugby World Cup in France.
He has since left the Saracens organisation in order to broaden the scope and application of his work, enabling high performing people from all industries and sectors to benefit from the transformative power of psychology.
