About Me
I am a business and leadership coach working exclusively with founders and business owners whose teams are growing and whose role is becoming more demanding.
I have worked in leadership and management for over 30 years, across startups and large organisations. I have driven sales, managed teams of more than 40 people, led HR and people strategy, and spent years mentoring managers and developing leaders.
I know where things tend to go wrong as teams grow.
When I moved into coaching, I initially worked with senior leaders and executives. Entrepreneurs kept finding their way to me, and I saw how little specialist support existed for them at this stage of growth.
That is where I decided to focus.
I went solo at 50, so I also 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.
