Leadership coaching and leadership skill development sessions are confidential, skilled and focused conversations that challenge and support you and your business leaders to succeed. It can help improve a leader’s ability to accomplish tasks efficiently, influence others to perform well, accelerate personal development, improve business results and engagement levels, as well as develop strong leadership presence and impact in the organisation.
My executive coaching approach is grounded in evidence-based practices, enabling transformational learning across beliefs and behaviours. By uncovering the barriers holding an individual back and identifying the habits they wish to develop, we work together to create meaningful and lasting change. Each session is designed to help a leader to discover new perspectives and empower them to embrace these changes in impactful ways.
I believe in being bold and sometimes provocative, challenging individuals safely to confront complexities and uncertainties. This is where transformative growth occurs, enabling someone to shift their thinking and achieve their goals.
I work with business leaders from all disciplines and industry sectors. My focus is on supporting leaders who want to achieve lasting change in any aspect of their personal or professional lives (some examples are detailed below). For coaching to be successful, the individual needs to be ready to explore new ways of thinking and behaving.
Please note that I do not cater to private/self-funding clients, except for specific arrangements with HR professionals. If you’re considering executive coaching with me but you aren’t the budget holder or an HR leader, let’s connect to discuss how to approach securing the company’s support for your leadership coaching.

By establishing a clear, relevant roadmap for your first 90-180 days in a new leadership role, you can achieve credibility and traction from day 1. You can quickly leverage your own strengths, determine any gaps to address, and establish a roadmap of activity and milestones to create a strong and lasting impression in your new role.
A coaching programme designed to walk you through a detailed approach to gather the key information you need to start a new leadership role with impact and credibility.
This is typically a 6 session programme, ideally starting before you have started the new role (though this isn’t essential).
Anyone starting a new leadership role, whether the first role at this level or already experienced at leadership. Applicable when joining a new organisation or newly promoted within the same organisation.

Integral to leadership effectiveness is excellent self-awareness.
You can add a Core Strengths profile to any of the coaching programmes to give you valuable insight into your own unique leadership blueprint.
A Core Strengths profile helps to identify your typical approach to key working relationships, and builds your awareness of your strengths and overdone strengths. It reveals your own unique filter on the world, how you operate instinctively, your typical response to conflict (and indeed, what typically triggers you to feel conflict).
The profile is created via an online questionnaire. The strengths based coaching questions explore how you do things, rather than what you’re doing, helping you to understand why you behave the way you do, and how we relate to each other.
I then take you through a feedback session and you get access to your results via an online platform of multi-media resources to explain the profile in more detail.
MOTIVES – the 3 core motives behind our behaviour – people, performance & process
CONFLICT – your unique conflict sequence showing how you change as conflict escalates
STRENGTHS – your preferred strengths, from the 28 strengths we most commonly use at work and
WHY (the reasons we use these strengths – these reasons differ for each of us)
OVERDONE STRENGTHS – we all some of our strengths too far, and this can become a derailing behaviour (or weakness)
Relationship building is more than a soft skill. The core strengths profile questionnaire can help you relate better to others, communicate and build the ability to improve dialogue.
