My coaching approach
Supporting leaders with trust, challenging questions, and a sense of humour!
My clients appreciate my fresh perspective and insightful questioning; always delivered with empathy, support, and a frequently needed laugh along the way!
I am passionate about the importance for leaders of building a culture of trust and a climate of psychological safety as a platform for success. Mirroring that passion, I work on a trust-building basis with my clients; I believe in a reciprocally open and honest relationship, progressing steadily towards their goals. My style is empathetic but direct; I’m not afraid to take my clients outside their comfort zone or ‘call them out’ if I believe this will help facilitate their mobility.
My business background is as a senior exec., MD, CEO and board advisor. I’m interested in transition, innovation and technology, and I love working with start-ups and new business models, as well as established organisations.
Cultivating a culture of trust
For CEOs and founders, building trust company-wide is a strategic imperative.
When employees trust their leaders and each other, communication flows freely, collaboration flourishes, and innovation accelerates.
This means empowering your team, transparently sharing information, and consistently demonstrating integrity.
It’s about creating an environment where people feel secure enough to take calculated risks, voice concerns, and commit fully to shared goals.
A culture of trust leads to higher engagement, lower staff turnover, and sustained organisational success.
Nurturing a climate of psychological safety
A climate of psychological safety is crucial for your department heads and their direct reports.
It’s not about being “nice”; it’s about creating an environment where individuals feel safe to speak up, admit mistakes, and ask for help without fear.
When leaders prioritise psychological safety, they encourage honest feedback, diverse perspectives, and open dialogue; all vital for effective problem-solving and continuous improvement.
It unlocks the full potential of your leadership team and cascades positive effects throughout the entire organisation.
