Scotsys was originally founded in the mid-1980s by my late father, Joe McAuley, and his business partner, the late Pat Docherty. Together, they built one of Scotland’s leading IT services and training companies, serving the Education and Print & Design sectors across the country.
The business was later sold and merged, and the Scotsys name eventually disappeared — but its spirit never did.
Reviving the name is my way of honouring that legacy: integrity, excellence, and a commitment to helping people and organisations grow.
Today, Scotsys represents a new chapter — transforming lives through professional coaching, mindset mastery and high-performance psychology.
When I set out to build a coaching and peak-performance business, the name Scotsys came to mind immediately. At first, I joked that SYS stood for “Sort Your Shit!” — because, truthfully, sometimes that’s exactly what we need to do.
But as the business and my vision grew, SYS took on a deeper meaning:
At Scotsys, our mission is simple:
Unlock potential. Transform mindsets. Drive success in business, life and sport.
Are you ready to see your success?
At Scotsys, I specialise in mindset coaching for high performers — on the golf course, in the boardroom and in high-pressure exam or interview environments.
My signature Golf Mindset Mastery programme helps elite amateurs and professionals remove mental blocks, manage pressure and play with clarity, confidence and consistency.
Beyond golf, I coach professionals and students to thrive in high-stakes moments through Exam & Interview Edge, and support senior leaders with Elevate Coaching — an ICF-aligned, outcomes-driven programme for values-led, consistent leadership performance.
My background includes 20+ years in leadership across IT, healthcare and golf. I combine real-world executive experience with advanced NLP, TimeLine Therapy™ and high-performance coaching to help clients think sharper, feel freer and perform at their best when it matters most.
I’m based in St Andrews — happiest on the fairways, walking the Fife coastline with my wife and our dogs, or spending time with our grown-up kids.
