My services include:
C-Suite Onboarding Coaching
I help new C-Suite executives find their feet fast; handling teams and peers confidently, making clear decisions under pressure and holding your own in the boardroom, without having to pretend you’ve got it all worked out!
First-Time CEO Coaching
Stepping up from a functional role to first-time CEO changes everything. The job shifts from ‘doing’ to judgement, people and direction. I help you manoeuvre through that transition, manage the pressure and lead effectively while staying true to yourself.
Startup Founder Coaching
Building a startup is both exhilarating and exhausting. When growth, funding, people and wellbeing all demand attention, I help founders evolve into the CEO role, clarify priorities, make steadier decisions and lead with confidence and focus.
Imposter Syndrome Coaching
Imposter Syndrome can be deeply limiting. It affects confidence, restricts leadership potential and is especially common among startup founders, CEOs and senior executives. Left unaddressed, it can lead to burnout, anxiety and underperformance.
Here’s what I bring to the table:
Business leadership
I’ve enjoyed a decades-long career as a CEO, MD, interim director and senior executive, and latterly as a board advisor and non-exec. I’ve led teams in publishing, PR, distribution, sales agency and B2B vendor services.
Coaching credentials
I hold an ILM7 Cert. in Executive Coaching and Mentoring from Oxford Brookes Business School. I’m a member of the EMCC, Trusted Coach Directory and EdTech Hub. I’m a pro bono mentor on the IPG’s Mentor Scheme.
Tailored programmes
My executive coaching, business mentoring and career coaching supports your immediate leadership challenges, long-term strategic business goals and pivotal career change; whether internal promotion or external appointment.
Collaborative approach
I ask challenging questions that may sometimes take you outside your comfort zone. My approach is direct but pragmatic and always delivered with support, empathy and mutual trust—and an often-needed sense of humour!
Level up your leadership
Even veteran CEOs can sometimes find navigating the demands of business and leadership lonely and isolating. For first-time CEOs, MDs, C-Suite executives and startup founders, these challenges can feel even more overwhelming and stressful.
Are you ready to lead through change?
You may be familiar with some of the challenges my clients face:
~ New marketing director deciphering organisational complexity and politics.
~ COO balancing urgent, real-time demands with long-term strategy.
~ First-time MD promoted from a functional role, facing resistance from ex-peers.
~ New finance director needing to improve boardroom presence and authority.
~ Founder facing burnout, needing to prioritise and delegate more effectively.
~ New MD experiencing a dip in confidence and Imposter Syndrome.
Do any of their situations resonate with you?
