About me

I've always been at my best when enabling others to thrive, facilitating conversations and finding creative ways to enable people to be their natural best selves. This was true in the playground and when leading my own teams, and it's true in my coaching work with senior leaders and other clients.

I made a number of career and life transformations, starting my journey as a broadcaster and voiceover artist, co-founding a music & events start-up, and later, moving countries and transitioning into the world of technology, building and leading People/Talent teams for fast moving UK + USA tech startups and scale-ups for the last 12+ years.

It was through the power of coaching that I first understood the real meaning of leadership. Energised by how coaching helped me in my journey, and realising that it has all the parts of my People Leadership role that I love - supporting, developing and enabling others to excel, I recently embarked on a coaching qualification path myself.

Equipped with a valuable insight on how a dedicated coach can help us thrive in work and life, I now work with clients keen to raise their self-awareness, lean into their strengths and reach their full potential.

My coaching style works best for people who are keen learners, curious, open and self-aware. I work with founders, senior leaders, those stepping into leadership positions and those simply wanting to make a positive impact and show up authentically at work and in life. Due to my lived experience, I have a particular soft spot for anyone working in People Teams (HR), women in leadership (especially technology) and fellow solo parents.

I'm an extraverted introvert and a spontaneous, risk-taking, creative
“out-of-the-box” thinker. My representational system preferences are Auditory digital & Auditory and my learning style is Pragmatist + Activist.
According to various personality and leadership profiling I'm a Pioneer, an Equaliser, a Challenger and a Protector (all true!).

My values of authenticity, courage, integrity, kindness, service, freedom, and connection inform how I coach - I care for others, aim to consider things from multiple perspectives and am not afraid to challenge existing norms and behaviours to encourage finding a better way forward. I'm open & direct, coaching with warmth, compassion and humour, aiming to hold things lightly, and always supporting you in your quest to do, and be better.

I'm currently completing my ILM Level 7 Diploma for Senior Level and Executive Coaching, working towards EMCC coaching accreditation.

I value courage, authenticity, kindness, learning & connection and coach with warmth, humour & compassion.
