The leaders I work with are scaling fast, leading with purpose, and shaping cultures that actually mean something. Their businesses have moved past the early chaos and have real revenue, real teams, and real momentum, but they have not yet hardened into corporate machines, and the leaders inside them are figuring out how to scale without losing what made the business work in the first place.
They are commercially sharp and humanly intelligent, ambitious about what they are building and deeply invested in the people building it with them. They are also more powerful than they think, and more creative than they know. My job is to see them clearly, help them reconnect with who they are, and help them lead with impact aligned with their values and leveraging their unique strengths.
A Different Kind of Coaching Relationship
This partnership is not a service, it is a relationship, and it goes further than most people expect coaching to go.
I walk alongside the leaders I coach in their greatest triumphs and their greatest moments of need. They bring me the questions they cannot ask anyone else, because everyone else is either too close, too commercial, or too invested in a particular answer. I am the independent voice that has earned the right to hear what is really going on, and to hold it carefully.
That is what this work is and why it lasts and if that is the kind of relationship you are looking for, you have found it.
How I can help you achieve the extraordinary.
Leadership Transformation
A title doesn’t make you a leader; it’s about taking responsibility for yourself and the people you lead and care about.
Being at your best starts with ‘Leading yourself’, intentional self-reflection and a focus on wellbeing and mindfulness.
My coaching will help you create a motivating environment for your team to succeed. I will be your guide and trusted advisor challenging you to grow your leadership capability and become an extraordinary and transformational leader.
High performing teams
Most leaders think they lead a high-performing team but only five per cent of teams fall into this category.
If it’s not just about achieving targets then what is authentic, sustainable and consistent team performance?
Through my High Performing Teams program, a world-class framework based on six decades of sports and positive psychology research, I will help your team create that success and reach its full potential.
Career Transition & Development
Are you engaged in your career and does it bring out the best in you? Are you performing at your best and are you fulfilled?
The dream job is only a step away. The right coach can guide you and help you prioritise the things that matter.
I will work with you holistically and with care, helping you create confidence and motivation based on your greatest talents, and support you through the most difficult decisions in your work and life.
Wellbeing for peak performance
Positive psychology research has improved our understanding of how to focus on our strengths.
Wellbeing strategies such as gratitude, mindfulness and meditation are now performance imperatives. There is a science-backed way to live a more fulfilling life and meet the inevitable challenges that we must accept as part of personal development.
I believe these strategies are essential and impact the holistic approach to work and life.
Strategy and planning
As a business leader, you love the pace of change, innovation and creativity and you have succeeded in building something which you are proud of.
As the business expands, the challenge is stepping back from the minutia; creating structure while staying agile, and empowering the smart and capable people around you.
Using my expertise and experience, I can help you plan for that growth and set up a focused strategic plan for your business.
