Advanced Research + Invention Agency

I am proud to announce that Stephen Lock Ltd has been selected to coach the Executive and Senior team at ARIA (Advanced Research + Invention Agency) for the next 12 months.

ARIA is a UK R&D funding agency built to unlock scientific and technological breakthroughs that benefit everyone. From climate change to AI and bioengineering, society faces enormous challenges and opportunities that can be uniquely addressed by science and technology – ARIA was created to activate the R&D ecosystem in new ways to meet these head on.

At Stephen Lock Coaching, we work with senior leaders to foster the culture, clarity, and adaptability required to lead ambitious programmes where the path forward isn’t always obvious. Our role is to help ARIA's leaders to think more clearly, lead more bravely, and act with the kind of coherence that breakthrough science demands.

Since we were established as a coaching business, we’ve worked with executives in research, government, and high-tech industries internationally. People making complex decisions under pressure. We don’t do one-size-fits-all coaching. Our approach is about sharp insight, direct challenge, and practical tools that leaders can use immediately. We track patterns, use AI-supported analysis to surface key insights, and ensure that coaching isn’t just a conversation—it's a structured system for real change.

As Stephen Lock Coaching develops, we are onboarding more coaches to deliver modern, progressive and impactful coaching at scale for individuals and teams. And so, if you or your team want to benefit from the same approach as ARIA, get in touch today (admin@stephenlockcoaching.com).
