What coaching means to me...
“I believe passionately that we are all naturally resourceful and talented and that, through coaching, we can be inspired to maximise our personal and professional potential.”
Coaching Style and Approach
I thrive on supporting senior managers to make the positive changes that are needed to ensure that they reach their full potential and achieve tangible results for themselves, their team and their organisation. I encourage clients to expand their thinking, deepen their awareness, and explore solutions to create change. I am an impartial ‘sounding board’, providing clients with supportive challenge to meet their goals.
Before becoming a coach, I worked in a number of senior marketing and HR roles so my coaching approach is therefore grounded in the commercial world – I understand the challenges of working in large organisations, of managing a team of people and delivering against a business plan. Clients have reported my style as professional, warm and supportive, combined with appropriate challenge and tenacity. Their experience is that this creates a strong and trusting relationship that achieves results.
