What's your story?
I work with campaigners, communicators and cause-motivated people who are committed to tackling the world’s big hard problems – health equity, climate change, poverty, loneliness – you name it. My aim is to help you and your team get the clarity you need to deliver impact, do work you are proud of and thrive while you are at it.
What makes me happy is helping my clients discover or rediscover what motivates them. This is about living in tune with your values and aspirations.
This is how I coach
I listen to my clients, without judgement, believing in their ability to take the opportunities and solve the problems they are facing. For anyone new to coaching, I don’t tell you what to do or solve the problem for you, I provide the space, support and process so you can do this yourself.
But full disclaimer, I can be directive, if it's in service of you and the goals you want to reach. "Someone described me as supportively frank."
I am a fan of Nancy Kline. She said, “The mind that can hold the problem can also hold the solution….” I use coaching tools and techniques to bring forward insights - known in the trade as aha! moments.

What will you get with me as coach?
Why would I be better than anyone else?
OK, reality check. There are loads of coaches out there, many of us have similar skills, but what will be unique is the trust and rapport we will build and work from so that’s the special bit – the dynamic between us. I also have twenty-five years-experience in working in public relations, communications and crisis communications. I have worked for some of the biggest brands in the world, I now work for myself, I am also a working parent.
I will want to help re-connect you to yourself – believing this in turn will supercharge your ability to reach the external goals you set. As a result you will be better at work, rest and play.
