Executive and Leadership Coaching
“The human mind seems to work best in the presence of reality. The brain than contains the problem probably also contains the solution. If the conditions are right, the huge intelligence of the human being surfaces. Ideas seem to come from nowhere and sometimes stun us”
Nancy Kline
About me
I am an Executive and Leadership coach who works closely with clients looking to develop their career and improve their leadership skills, and with leadership teams looking to work more effectively together. Based in London, I conduct both face-to-face and virtual coaching sessions. I travel globally to deliver team coaching and leadership development programs.
I have an MSc in Coaching and Behavioural Change from Henley Business School and I am a European Mentoring and Coaching Council (EMCC) Accredited Coach at Senior Practitioner level, and an Associate Certified Coach (ACC) with the International Coach Federation (ICF). I am also a Lumina Spark certified practitioner and can administer Lumina’s individual personality assessments and team development workshops in person and virtually.
In addition to coaching, I have 20 years’ experience as a management consultant covering strategy, operations improvement, mergers and acquisitions and behavioural change.
Outside of work, I volunteer for a charity called ‘A Band of Brothers’ that mentors young men at risk of entering the criminal justice system. The charity uses highly effective group and individual approaches for managing conflict and working with ‘shadow’ selves to uncover and address deep rooted beliefs. These approaches also translate well into leadership development in the workplace.
Executive coaching
I work with driven professionals to help them re-ignite their passion for work and become more resilient to deal with the challenges life throws at them, by helping them to:
Understand what is really important to them, and what they need in order to thrive
Focus on using their signature strengths to increase work satisfaction and performance
Gain awareness of the unconscious beliefs and assumptions holding them back
Learn how to transform difficult relationships into trusting relationships
Learn how to build resilience at work and manage stress
Gain deeper awareness of themselves and the systems they operate within to better navigate the ‘corporate jungle’
Lead with bravery, compassion and impact
“The two most important days in life are the day you are born and the day you discover the reason why.”
Mark Twain
Leadership Team Coaching
I coach leadership teams both individually and collectively according to the four principles of:
self-knowledge
valuing diversity
building rapport
co-creating results
I am a certified Lumina Learning practitioner and can deliver Lumina individual personality assessments and team workshops and programs.
