FAQS

WHAT IS COACHING?

Coaching is one of the most personalised forms of development. It focuses specifically on you - your needs, your situation and your goals.

Coaches help you find your own solutions, rather than giving advice or telling you what to do. They ask questions, share observations and hold up a mirror so that you can see yourself more clearly. They may also use a variety of 'creative techniques' to help you approach a challenge from a different angle.

HOW CAN COACHING HELP YOU?

As a new leader, coaching can help you define what's most important and create a plan to keep focused as you start to feel the pull of other demands on your time.

It can help you decide how you want to show up as a leader, recognising your values and preferences as well as those of your team and stakeholders.

Coaching goes beyond the immediate task at hand - whether that's crafting a compelling vision or figuring out how to create more time to upskill your team. If looks at what these things mean to you and how you can thrive by getting out of your own way.

HOW CAN I HELP YOU?

I work as a trusted, impartial thinking partner—supporting senior leaders to lead change in a way that delivers results and strengthens how teams work together.

My coaching helps leaders unlock their strengths, understand where pressure can create blind spots, and turn insight into practical action. Across 1:1 coaching and team sessions, the focus is on helping change land without unnecessary friction or burnout.

Together, we work on:

Navigating shifting priorities and complex stakeholder needs
Building momentum instead of firefighting
Making decisions faster and improving collaboration

I bring deep experience in retail and hospitality, alongside advanced coaching and strengths-based tools. My clients are typically Heads and Directors in complex, multi-site environments, supported by HR teams looking for practical, commercially relevant leadership development.

WHY SHOULD YOU HIRE ME?

I know what it's like to navigate unfamiliar environments - whether that's moving to Shanghai with 10 days' notice or joining a heavily regulated telecoms company after working in luxury fashion.

As well as empathy and understanding, I'm professionally qualified with a Practitioner Diploma in Executive Coaching and ten years' in-house experience (and counting) helping leaders at all levels succeed in their roles.

If you're looking for a qualified, experienced and passionate partner to support you through your leadership transition, I'd love to help.
