Who I coach

Highly capable leaders who need support navigating the human side of leadership.

The leaders I work with are often highly capable technically, but need support navigating the behavioural, strategic and interpersonal demands of leadership

How I work with you

One-to-one. Highly personalised. Without fuss or overwhelm.

  • My coaching is one-to-one coaching and highly personalised to each individual leader and organisation’s needs.

  • I take participants through a clear, step by step process, showing them how to move from ‘where I am’ to ‘where I want to be’ without fuss or overwhelm.

  • I can deliver coaching in person, online or a hybrid of the two.

The coaching process

Three phases. Measurable progress.

01

Preparation

  • Behavioural profiling using DISC
  • Pre-coaching questionnaires & leadership reflection
  • Exploration of current challenges, goals & priorities
  • Identification of underlying behavioural patterns
  • My immersion in your business environment — attending meetings, observing leadership in action
  • Establishing success measures and evaluation framework

02

Coaching

  • Strategic 10-12 month in-depth coaching programme
  • Structured 5-7 session focused coaching programme

  • Maintenance coaching sessions for top-up support
  • Accountability and implementation planning between sessions
  • Resources: books, conversation cards and workbooks

03

Reflection & Implementation

  • Evidence of where coaching has made a measurable difference
  • Embedding new behaviours and capabilities for lasting impact
  • Planning for ongoing leadership growth

Coaching formats

The right format for your goals and timeline.

I offer three distinct coaching formats, each designed to suit different leadership objectives, time frames and levels of investment.

A comprehensive programme designed to support sustainable transformation. Monthly full sessions, mid-month laser sessions, accountability support, and practical resources throughout.

Ideal for: leaders ready for significant, lasting change

A focused programme delivered over an agreed timeframe. Purpose-built around targeted leadership development goals or a specific leadership challenge.

Ideal for: targeted development goals or specific challenges

Deep-dive sessions focused on a specific issue, challenge or decision. Also available as top-up support for leaders who have completed a programme.

Ideal for: existing clients or a specific pressing challenge

What makes my
approach different

Five things that set this coaching apart from the rest.

icon

Practical, not theoretical

My coaching is grounded in the realities of leadership and business performance — not frameworks that live on a whiteboard.

icon

Deeply personalised

Every programme is tailored to the individual, their goals and their organisational context. This is never one-size-fits-all.

Embedded within the business

I immerse myself in your environment — attending meetings, observing dynamics — so coaching is grounded in your actual reality, not a description of it.

Change without overwhelm

A clear step-by-step process that helps leaders move from where they are to where they want to be — with structure, space and support between sessions.

Honest conversations

Warmth and encouragement paired with candour and challenge. I ask the questions others won’t — because that’s where the real growth happens.

Resources and support

Tools to support your ongoing development.

Coaching programmes includes practical resources to help you continue learning, reflecting and implementing between sessions.

Books and FLOW Conversation Cue Cards:
My leadership books are based on decade or working with leaders, and my FLOW Conversation Cue Cards help leaders create stronger conversations, deeper relationships and more connected workplace cultures.

Additional support for your organisation

In some cases, coaching highlights gaps in skills development or communication. If needed, I can help here too.
