A few words about me

There is more to life than just being alive. As leaders we have a unique ability to thrive and bring our teams with us as we do. 

In my coaching practice I work with leaders and teams who want more than just performance and efficiency – they want to enjoy the ride too. And a lot of it starts when we reconnect to what makes us human, what makes us tick, what makes us smile. 

  Working with you and your teams, we may draw out your strengths as individuals and teams, exploring ways in which you can do more of what grows you while mitigating the gaps and risks. We’ll explore how you communicate as individuals and teams, how you ensure you hear diverse views and what you do with those views when they differ from your own. We’ll check in with our humanity, our kindness, compassion for each other without relinquishing the expectations we have of each other to deliver on commitments made. Together we will become more mindful of how we show up as leaders, as teams and human beings.

I grew into this role over 30 years in Industry and consulting, often developing most at unexpected times and places. During this time, I worked for and with large global corporations such as BT and Sara Lee DE; pharmaceutical firms with head offices in the UK and Denmark; global banks; insurance companies and government teams ranging from HM Treasury to Project Management Teams sponsored by the Cabinet Office. At an institutional level I’ve worked with both Cranfield and Ashridge University to support the development of clients.

I have an MSc in Occupational Psychology and am currently working on a Masters in Executive and Team Coaching with Hult Ashridge University. I’m practical and use evidence-based approaches from both my work in industry and with PA consultancy and am accredited to use EQ-i 2.0 Emotional Intelligence Assessment; Saville Wave, Lumina Sparks and MBTI personality assessments and also Strengthprofile. 

My primary approaches are strengths based, working with what creates energy so that each of us want to bring our best. I teach yoga and bring a mindful, practical and compassionate edge to my work.
