I believe passionately in coaching as a way of helping you to build your confidence and resilience, enabling you to increase your impact so that you, in turn, are able to bring greater benefit to your team and organisation.

My coaching philosophy is based on being supportive, practical and outcomes focused. My measure of success is that you leave your coaching session feeling more positive and powerful than you did at the beginning of the session.

I’m warm and friendly in my coaching approach, looking to build trust and empathy with you. I create a supportive environment where I listen carefully and am non-judgmental. I balance support with the appropriate challenge by asking thought-provoking questions to encourage you to consider different and new perspectives.

Depending on the situation and your needs, I’m flexible in my approach. My long experience working in leadership development means that I have a wide range of tools and techniques that I can offer to you to help you to work through your challenges.

I have extensive experience coaching in both the public and private sectors. I have coached clients worldwide, including in China, the US and Europe. I’ve coached people working at all levels from graduate trainees to CEOs.

Before establishing myself as an independent coach and facilitator, I built extensive organisational development experience in several senior HR and OD roles at AstraZeneca plc and through the direct line management of global teams.
