Executive Coach

Transformation is possible only when we understand and challenge the narratives that drive us.

As an accredited Executive Coach, I help leaders perform and communicate at their best, especially in times of change. Acting as a strategic and pragmatic Thinking Partner, I support people in finding new perspectives and solutions to complex problems within themselves.

Using a range of methods, including Co-Active and Solution-Focused coaching, creative techniques, storytelling and metaphor, I help people reframe, challenge and shift mindsets.

The results include more clarity, better decisions and better relationships with stakeholders.

What I Do

I help clients to:

  • Transition to a new leadership role
  • Improve leadership performance
  • Cultivate a more flexible leadership style
  • Think and plan strategically
  • Communicate with impact
  • Manage change
  • Find more purpose, balance and fulfilment at work
  • Change career
  • Manage a portfolio career

Who I Work With

My clients include individuals, industry-leading corporates in engineering, financial services, higher education and e-commerce, start-ups and SMEs. I have worked extensively with both public and private sector organisations. I coach both in person and via MS Teams and Zoom.

What I Bring

I combine a strong corporate background (in global publishing, marketing and financial services) with a passion for skilled communication and a coaching approach. I have coached clients since 2004.

I am also a writer and performer in community film, theatre, dance and music projects. I bring this spirit of creative collaboration, storytelling and transformation to my coaching.

I hold an MBA (Manchester Business School) and a Practitioner Diploma in Executive Coaching. As an accredited member of the Academy of Executive Coaching (AoEC), I uphold the ICF Code of Ethics.
