I’m Steve Baker—an existential coach and mentor, technologist, and long-running composer/record producer/recording engineer based in London. I help people and organisations navigate change with a blend of existential coaching, practical systems thinking, and a human-first view of how technology (including AI) affects meaning, decisions, and working together. In practice, that means I’m as comfortable holding space in one-to-one and group conversations as I am designing process and tooling that teams can genuinely internalise. Alongside my coaching work, I’ve sustained a 35+ year creative practice composing and producing music across broadcast and media, and I still work actively in studio and post-production contexts. More recently, I’ve applied my systems and coaching approach to organisational change in a mental health charity, leading implementation of an ISO 9001 Quality Management System with an emphasis on culture, audit readiness, and aligned data capture. I also contribute through community support roles and music mentoring, and I enjoy moving across boardroom, consulting room, and studio to meet real problems where they are.…I’m Steve Baker—an existential coach and mentor, technologist, and long-running composer/record producer/recording engineer based in London.
