About Me
I am a business and leadership coach working exclusively with founders and business owners whose teams are growing and whose role is quietly becoming the most demanding it has ever been.
I have worked in leadership and management for over 30 years, across startups and large organisations. I have driven sales, managed teams of 40 or more, led HR and people strategy, and spent years mentoring managers and developing leaders from the inside. I genuinely love this work, and I have done it long enough to know where things go wrong as teams grow.
When I moved into coaching, I worked initially with senior leaders and executives. Founders and business owners kept finding their way to me, and what struck me was how little specialist support existed for them at this stage of growth. That is where I decided to focus.
I went solo at 50. I know what it takes to back yourself and build something new.
My qualifications reflect the work I do with founders and business owners navigating the complexity of a growing team.
- CIPD qualified in HR Management, giving me a deep understanding of people, teams and organisational dynamics
- Performance Coach, The Coaching Academy
- Neuroscience-informed coaching, understanding how the brain responds to pressure, change and decision-making
- Positive Intelligence Coach, working with the mental patterns that drive behaviour under stress
- DISC Practitioner, understanding how different leadership and communication styles show up and impact teams
- Member of the International Coaching Federation (ICF)
- Advanced Diploma in Executive Coaching Practitioner, Academy of Executive Coaching (in progress)
Working with me, founders and business owners typically experience:
- Fewer problems landing back with them
- A team that takes real ownership
- Clearer priorities and less firefighting
- More thinking time and headspace
- Calmer, more confident decision-making
- A business that feels good to run again
My clients are capable, driven founders who are ready to lead differently.
