Have you ever felt like you’re navigating change, yet something still holds you back? Many leaders and teams find themselves stuck—meeting deadlines, driving results, yet longing for 𝐝𝐞𝐞𝐩𝐞𝐫 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧, 𝐚𝐮𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐭𝐲, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐚 𝐩𝐚𝐭𝐡 𝐭𝐨 𝐮𝐧𝐥𝐨𝐜𝐤 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐢𝐫 𝐟𝐮𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐩𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐚𝐥. My work is about guiding individuals and teams through 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬, 𝐛𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡 𝐥𝐢𝐦𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐟𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞, 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐩𝐮𝐫𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐞.

My journey began in 𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧, where I developed a passion for solving complex challenges—not just in numbers and processes, but in people. I spent 25+ years leading teams through large-scale organisational change, mergers, and cultural shifts. What I discovered was that real transformation isn’t just about strategy—it’s about the 𝐩𝐞𝐨𝐩𝐥𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐝 𝐢𝐭. This realisation led me to pivot into coaching, where I now help leaders and teams navigate transitions with clarity and impact.

As an 𝐄𝐱𝐞𝐜𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐂𝐨𝐚𝐜𝐡, 𝐓𝐞𝐚𝐦 & 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩 𝐂𝐨𝐚𝐜𝐡, I help my clients:
✔ Break free from limiting beliefs and patterns that hold them back
✔ Navigate career, leadership, and organisational transitions with confidence
✔ Cultivate 𝐚𝐮𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐜 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩, 𝐜𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐬𝐭  within teams
✔ Strengthen self-awareness, resilience, and alignment with core values
✔ Lead with a 𝐛𝐚𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐠𝐲, 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐡𝐮𝐦𝐚𝐧 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧

My coaching is 𝐝𝐞𝐞𝐩𝐥𝐲 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥, 𝐩𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐡𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐜, integrating 𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐝, 𝐛𝐨𝐝𝐲, 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐭, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞. I create a safe yet challenging space where leaders and teams can gain clarity, embrace their potential, and drive meaningful change, both personally and professionally.

Beyond coaching, I am an 𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐫𝐮𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐫, 𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐡𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐚𝐬𝐭, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐝 𝐒𝐜𝐨𝐭 𝐥𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐧 𝐒𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐳𝐞𝐫𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐝. My experience in endurance running, including winning Britain’s 268-mile Spine Race, has shaped my approach to leadership and transformation, reinforcing the power of 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞, 𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐢𝐩𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐬𝐭.
