How I work with clients

Executive Coaching

As an ILM Level 7 Executive Coach, I understand the complexities of leadership. I work with you to explore your unique challenges and goals, guiding you through reflective conversations and thought-provoking exercises. Executive coaching is not about giving you answers; it’s about empowering you to find them within yourself.

We’ll focus on self-discovery, helping you gain clarity and insight.
You’ll enhance your decision-making skills and develop strategies tailored to your specific leadership challenges.
Together, we’ll build the confidence and tools you need to lead with purpose.

Executive coaching is a journey of self-transformation, offering you the opportunity to unlock your full leadership potential.

Corporate training & Workshops

Corporate Training

I am a professional coach, mentor & communications skills workshop designer. I have 25 years’ experience of coaching and training clients of all kinds in the corporate sector and in 2020 I formalised my hands on experience by qualifying as a Level 7 Executive Coach and Mentor certified by the ILM. I blend my background in professional acting, directing and writing with a passion for improving corporate communication, and facilitating behavioural change.

Group Workshop Design & Facilitation

My workshops are like being in a Flight Simulator, offering an adventurous yet secure space for real-time, enjoyable skill development. I design and facilitate workshops that empower individuals and teams in Leadership skills, Delivering Feedback, Diversity, Equity & Inclusion, Talent & Performance Management, Personal Impact and Corporate Storytelling. I believe in practical learning, creating controlled environments for participants to explore nuanced workplace interactions.

Innovative Learning Solutions

Alongside my workshops, I often collaborate with graphic designers to craft insightful “Workbooks” that can summarise workshop content, but can also serve as standalone learning tools. I also develop live online courses, MOOCs, and of course I work with film makers to create on-demand video modules.

I’m very proud to have I written and produced the “Confident Conversations” series in collaboration with Pfizer UK. This was a communications skills course for pharmacists in the community and in hospitals, and I was delighted to have the course accredited by the Royal Pharmaceutical Society.

Neurodiversity Coaching & Mentoring

I am ADHD and have trained with ADHD Works to become a Neurodiversity Coach. I am currently studying for a PGC in Advanced Neurodiversity Coaching at Birkbeck University.

My approach to Neurodiversity coaching centres around recognising the unique strengths and creativity of neurodivergent individuals. This is a specialised service that supports not just individuals, but also their families, friends, and potentially colleagues.

Being neurodivergent can be a gift when nurtured in the right environment, though it does present ongoing challenges in a neurotypical world. I offer personalised sessions to help individuals harness the power their difference brings and to support their loved ones in fostering an understanding, growth-oriented environment.

In addition, if you live with, work with, or love someone with who is neurodivergent, my coaching can help you develop strategies to support them while maintaining healthy boundaries and prioritising your own well-being.

Let’s work together to transform neurodivergence from a challenge into a powerful asset.
