“Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur excepteur sint occaecat cupidatat non proident.”

Focus & Ethos

I coach CEOs and other C-suite leaders, senior investment bankers,  private equity partners and investors, partners in law firms and other senior executives and entrepreneurs, their teams and organisations , as well as leaders at charities, NGOs, social enterprises and CICs.

I am a trusted partner who will support and challenge you, using a broad range of tools and frameworks,  to be your best self, build trust by creating thinking environments for your teams, and thus enjoy greater personal and collective success.

Leadership can be lonely.  Whether transitioning to a new leadership role within an organisation, joining a board or building a new team,  it is often difficult to share your vulnerabilities, concerns or frustrations with anyone internally.

Approach

Empathy

My primary focus is on listening intently and empathetically in order to first understand your context, your challenges and your opportunities.

Confidential and non-judgmental, my purpose is to be a brainstorm partner that helps you to unlock your best thinking.

Support

My posture and tone underpin a positive psychology mindset and thus a fundamental belief in your natural resourcefulness.

This facilitates the uncovering and reframing of any limiting assumptions or blind spots to allow you to better leverage your strengths for even greater success.

Structure

The agenda is always yours, as what is "top of mind" as an issue that requires further thought is often a microcosm of the areas you need to progress to achieve your longer-term leadership goals.

My disciplined and structured approach constantly assesses the coaching ideas that will resonate most effectively with you and offers them as appropriate to progress your thinking on key topics for your continued effectiveness.

Challenge

My deep belief is that the key to effective leadership is managing your ego in order to understand yourself better, understand others better and thus to develop conflict intelligence.

I aim to ask challenging questions to help you present your best self, build trust with others and navigate tough conversations in order create more motivated and effective teams.
