About
I am committed to having a positive impact on the world through my everyday interactions and decisions.
Passionate about inclusivity, my aim is always to develop strong connections and relationships with everyone I work with. I find that this is the key to generating safe environments, which enables openness, trust and vulnerability and people feel free to be more unmasked. This allows them to reveal what is at the heart of the issue or situation that they want to change
I unlock powerful learning that drives significant positive transformation at individual and organisational levels.
My Core Purpose
My core purpose is to create intimate environments so that people thrive.
I strongly believe in the power of developing people and providing them with the right conditions to use their talents well in all aspects of their lives.
I bring my unique combination of experience, an incisive mind, and a genuine desire to help others to everything I do, from creating safe spaces for deep and meaningful conversations to encouraging people to confront their assumptions, beliefs, and behaviours to generate more neuroinclusive environments. Courage, compassion, and wisdom are qualities that underpin the work that I do.
Background and experience
I have had a long and varied career path, and have been an executive coach, and a leadership and talent specialist for more than two decades.
I developed my practice working with executives and teams at Hay Group. Over the years my exposure to people from all walks of life and backgrounds has opened my eyes and heart to the richness and complexities that shape who we are and how we engage in others. I have learnt to be more curious and suspend my knowing to fully welcome and see others as they are. I have continued to develop my coaching skills by taking courses to become an advanced practitioner and immerse myself in the worlds of neurodiversity in coaching and inclusion, emotions-centred and ubuntu coaching. My recent passion for neuroinclusion has deepened my knowledge and understanding of how best to work with differently wired brains and was the motivation for 'Wired Differently Understood Together'.
My clients span a range of sectors including pharmaceutical, financial services, extractive industries, aerospace, health, NGO’s, energy and think tanks.
In addition to my consulting and coaching work, I also teach on two practitioner diplomas for the Academy of Executive Coaching, am a Coach Supervisor and the author of two books.
