Leadership Advisor

and

Coach

With board level experience, I bring a practical understanding of the realities of leadership.

I work with leaders through coaching, supporting them as they think through complex situations where there is no simple answer and where judgement and relationships matter.

I am an accredited mediator, which informs my work where differing perspectives and difficult conversations are central.

  • One to one coaching for leaders who value time to reflect, test their thinking and develop their leadership.

  • Advisory - thoughtful, practical support on leadership and organisational issues.

  • Bespoke leadership development programmes.

  • Mediation - to help people work through differences and find a constructive way forward.

  • Developing leadership impact and influence

  • Strengthening important working relationships

  • Exploring different perspectives
