Coaching for individuals and teams:
For confidence, clarity and performance.
While marketing, creativity and innovation are my background, my passion has always been people and their inherent potential.
Working with individuals and organisations, I offer sustainable and effective transformation that frees up potential, bringing growth, clarity, confidence and renewed purpose.
Applying extensive leadership, strategy and change management experience from names such as The Guardian and Condé Nast, I combine this with my own consultancy work over a number of years to help coach, mentor, consult and design strategies that allow businesses and people to thrive.
My work helps create open, creative, progressive and confidence-enhancing cultures and allows leaders to create the same.
Team Workshops
Bringing Fresh Perspectives, Energy, Clarity and Empowerment
Working with well established names such as The Guardian and Vogue, startups, central government, local government and NFPs - I bring my passion for progress to your organisation. Many of the sessions can be grouped into these main areas:
Coming Together - Accelerated Understanding & Collaboration for Team Performance
Branding and Impact for Teams & Leaders
Open Up - Finding Your Voice and Sharing What's Important
Vision and Focus - Brand,Values, Purpose and Impact
Embracing Change - Transition and Resilience
Developing an Inclusive Creation and Innovation Culture
I also work on specific briefs from organisations - from workshops to help embed and develop company culture to working to support inclusivity initiatives.
And I can hold any of these sessions as outdoor events. See more here

Coaching
For clarity. confidence and a focus on what really matters.
Clarity: What now? What next? Where do I go from here?
I provide a space to think, to explore to discuss and to plan for the future. A space that's all about you and your challenge. I'll call on my experience and expertise to help, yet it's all based on a belief that you'll likely have the answers within - I simply help guide and frame the conversation to bring you clarity.
Confidence: Confidence to understand and overcome what may be holding you back. Confidence about a project or business launch. Confidence around the challenges of life and what it throws your way. The confidence to speak up and be heard - on your terms. Confidence to make the change and transition you need and create a clear path ahead.
What really matters: Understanding what's really important and developing a plan around this. Taking time to understand values, impact and purpose, prioritising the most valuable of commodities - your time and energy.

Into the Hills
I'm a great believer in the power of new environments bringing new perspectives and insights. This is why I regularly hold coaching sessions and workshops in the great outdoors in the Surrey Hills - a short 40 minute journey from London.
Back to Nature Clarity Coaching
A longer walking session of 2 1/2 hours with many stops along the way for reflection and capture of insights.
Outdoor Brand Journeys
A unique approach for accelerated brand development on the move. 3 hours. 4 stages. Clarity and actions plans by the finish.
Group Workshops
There's never a group session that can't offer fresh perspectives from being held outdoors - whatever the weather. And if added excitement is needed, there are two vineyards and a gin distillery as part of the route.
