I am an executive coach and strategic marketing consultant. I worked for 15 years in the B2B marketing field, working for both large organisations and start-ups. Most recently, I was Marketing Director for one of the world’s largest recruitment companies, working closely with a variety of sectors including financial services, legal, accounting & finance, IT and the public sector. I am also a trained Business & Personal Coach (via Barefoot Coaching).
I became interested in coaching when I saw the number of employees who were highly talented and knowledgeable in their field, but were held back by their own behaviours and beliefs, whether that was through a lack of confidence, poor communication skills or limited leadership skills.
I have a genuine passion and energy for the transformative effect that coaching can bring, not only to the individual, but also to the commercial organisation. I enjoy working with clients to identify and maximise their strengths and values, while examining and transforming those behaviours and beliefs that set them back from greater success.
My naturally empathic and understanding nature allows clients to quickly feel at ease. Through deep levels of listening and effective questioning, clients are able to flourish, allowing for those ‘bombshell’ moments, when newfound clarity and increased self-awareness is reached; a critical step to transformative change.
I have a particular interest in helping female leaders and aspiring female leaders to maximise their strengths and boost their performance. As women climb the career ladder, they face particular challenges, which, whilst not unique to women, tend to have a greater impact on them. This can range from better understanding your own capabilities to communicating with impact, confronting confidence issues and balancing work and home responsibilities.
