Whether you are looking to build a coaching culture, support employees through major life transitions, or elevate human-centred professional skills, my approach combines the tools from a 25-year career in professional services with transformative coaching and performance to inspire and facilitate personal and professional transformation in a safe and empowering environment.
Signature programmes
My work with organisations is anchored by two signature programmes, the Leaders-Who-Coach Programme and the Returning to Work Programme. Both programmes create significant positive impact for participants and their organisations and, when deployed together, can even more powerfully support your organisation to create and maintain a workplace that is empowering, encourages leadership and professional growth at all levels, and is pyschologically safe. In this environment people deliver at their best, are more engaged and more productive.
Leaders-who-coach programme
The most effective leaders raise others up by weaving coaching into their everyday interactions. This team workshop programme, run over three to six months, balances theory, personalised insight, and practical application to reframe leadership as collaborative, generative, and accessible to everyone.
What's involved?
In-person or online interactive workshops over 3 to 6 months
Personalised Coaching On the Go skills report
Practical application through behavioural experiments
Support from buddy pairs, email nudges, and the Coaching On the Go book
How your organisation benefits
Improved engagement: managers are better equipped to develop and motivate direct reports and influence across and up.
Agile decision-making: teams feel empowered to solve problems at their level, reducing reliance on senior leaders.
Talent pipeline: fills the gap between technical expertise and leadership readiness.
“The COTG skills report is so much more accessible and immediately impactful compared to other tools I’ve used. People start changing immediately.”
Returning to work programme
Returning from parental leave, illness, or a career break can be disorientating. This group programme, run over a six month period, combines workshops, peer coaching, and high-quality facilitation to ensure returners regather their professional "mojo and momentum".

Momentum workshop in month 2 to recalibrate what success looks like and the support needed
Mojo workshop in month 4 to explore identity, motivation, and resilience

Between-session support through peer coaching and check-in calls, to maintain momentum and celebrate success.
How your organisation benefits
Rapid re-integration: shortens the time for high-value employees to return to full productivity.
Retention of experienced staff: structured support significantly increases the likelihood of long-term retention for diverse talent.
Brand reputation: demonstrates a visible commitment to an inclusive culture during major life transitions
