With over 15 years of experience in business, from public sector to PLC, from family business to academic institution, I have a wide and varied portfolio. I have worked across both sales and marketing teams, always with a strong focus on communication and creativity.

Almost a decade since my first coaching training, I have used those techniques daily in the corporate world. Working with some of the biggest FMCG businesses in the UK.

I’ve grown and launched brands both nationally and internationally, however, the work I am most proud of is the teams that I have helped to create and the personal growth journeys that I have had the the privilege of supporting.

Creating teams that are stronger and more dynamic than the sum of their parts is my passion.

What can I do for you?

  • Focus - finding space to align business and personal mission with individual goals and objectives

  • Understanding - conducting engagement surveys and facilitating 360 feedback

  • Strengths - ascertaining learning styles, equipping people to deliver their best

  • Solutions - developing actionable insights and deliverable steps to achieve your targets

  • Skills - a practical toolkit, beat imposter syndrome, developing self-confidence or learning to listen

Unconditional positive regard leads to a non-judgemental stance in relation to the coachee, allowing the coachee to present openly and honestly. This creates a safe and trusting relationship, between coach and coachee, where vulnerability and authenticity can thrive.
