The HeRO program is for professionals in mid-life who have done everything “right” (career, status, family) yet feel adrift. It’s not about chasing another goal. It’s about finally knowing yourself, then designing a life that feels like yours.
This program draws on hundreds of hours of research and hundreds of hours of coaching. The kind of work people often commit many months and many thousands of pounds to. I’ve built it so you get that same depth, but in a format that fits your life.
On paper, you’ve made it. You’ve worked hard, you’ve built a career, you’re respected.
But if you’re honest, it doesn’t feel how you thought it would.
- Instead of clarity, there’s a quiet fog.
- Instead of momentum, a sense of drifting.
- Instead of fulfilment, the question: is this it?
It’s not burnout exactly. You still perform. You still deliver. But there’s a gap between the life you’re living and the life you sense you could be living.
That’s the pain I help you solve.
Most programs will start by asking what you want and then help you set goals to get there.
This one doesn’t.
Because if you don’t know yourself deeply (who you are beneath the roles and achievements) any goal you set will be built on shaky ground.
That’s why we begin with you.
Not the version of you that performs in meetings, delivers reports, or keeps the plates spinning.
The you underneath.
When you reconnect with that, everything else changes. Your goals become clearer. Your choices carry weight. Your daily life starts to line up with what matters most.
From there, the practical work (habits, planning, balance, flow) becomes not just another productivity hack but the architecture of a life that feels true.
Before anything else, you need to see yourself clearly. Most professionals in mid-life have built success on autopilot: driven, capable, but often disconnected from who they really are. This phase is about stripping back the noise, understanding your values, and reconnecting with what matters most.
Once you know who you are, the right goals become obvious. Not the ones that impress others, or the ones you set out of habit, but the goals that actually mean something to you. Here, we translate your deeper understanding into a vision for your future that excites and energises you.
Great goals demand more than willpower. This phase is about preparation: building habits, routines, and systems that make progress inevitable. It’s where the fog lifts, resistance weakens, and you start to see the steps clearly laid out in front of you.
This is where it all comes together. You’re no longer chasing someone else’s version of success ... you’re living yours. You’re acting with clarity and consistency, and the results follow naturally. More than achievement, this phase is about thriving: creating a life that feels balanced, powerful, and deeply fulfilling.
This program is for professionals who:
• Have achieved success but feel unfulfilled
• Want clarity, not more noise
• Are ready to pause the endless pursuit of “what’s next” and ask what matters
• Are open to rethinking old assumptions and building something new
It’s not for people looking for quick fixes. It’s for those ready to do the most important work there is: knowing themselves deeply, and from that, shaping a better life.
If you’ve reached this point in your career and life and feel the gap, you don’t need more goals. You need a reset. This program is that reset.
Includes FREE weekly group coaching sessions.
I’m absolutely fired up for what’s ahead, work, personal, all of it. Getting to the top is a proper fight and I’ve been on this journey a while, but this time I’ve had a serious trainer. Not Paulie, he only backed Rocky when the title shot came. This has been Apollo Creed style training.
You’re a fucking rockstar when it comes to coaching, doing this program with you has changed my happiness and my life.

This program is ultimately about learning a new way of life and a different way of understanding yourself within your life. In a way other programs don't have. When you are in a position to challenge everything about yourself and how you've been thinking, about things in your past, you can make more change and more significant change. When I chose to invest in myself and this program, the stars aligned.

This program is hosted on a private system. Only program members have access. As soon as you sign up you get access to this platform where a series of videos guide you through the work. You also get access to more than 30 recorded HeRO Hour sessions on a wide range of topics related to personal and professional improvement.
The program lasts 6 months. Most people complete the first 3 phases in around 3-4 months. At this point they are firmly decided on what they want from the next phase of their work and life. And then they really enjoy having the support of others as they take the first step on their path. Each of the 16 lessons lasts around 30 minutes and requires a small amount of homework.
Every Friday you'll be invited to a group session called HeRO Hour. In these sessions you'll learn something from Stephen to help in your improvement journey. You'll also get to discuss your progress and ideas with other members of our supportive community.
You will also have access to a private Slack community, support from Fliss (Community Manager) and regular virtual support.
And you'll get exclusive access to the HeRO Coaching GPT, which has been trained on all of Stephen's materials and content. So you'll have a 24x7 coach in your pocket.
YES! Stephen offers 1:1 coaching related to this program and as an Executive and Leadership coach. Stephen Lock Coaching also has a team of affiliate coaches ready to work with program members.
Anyone who signs up to the HeRO Program will be offered discounted rates on 1:1 coaching if they need it.
However, if you are not ready for that, don't worry. This program has been designed to work in a self-directed way, supported by the online community and the weekly group coaching.
It helps to have a guide.
I’ve led large teams, delivered complex change, and coached senior leaders across industries, from tech to healthcare, public sector to private. I’m known for creating honest, safe spaces where people can think clearly and lead better.
My work is grounded, human, and focused on what actually helps. Clients say I bring calm to complex situations. And clarity when it’s most needed.
Behind that, I bring serious depth.
I’m a Level 7 qualified executive coach, with studies in leadership at Ashridge Business School, innovation at INSEAD, and improvement theory with Warwick.
Take your place in this unique program. In minutes you'll be growing again.
If you are not loving it after 7 days, we'll give you your money back. No questions asked.
