My philosophy
I believe in working hard to ACHIEVE GREAT THINGS AND IN HAVING FUN while doing IT. My aim is for our coaching together to not only achieve - and exceed - your desired GOALs but to also be rewarding and enjoyable.
MY BACKGROUND
Before becoming an Executive Coach, I held leadership and senior management positions at BBC Worldwide (now BBC Studios), Warner Bros (now Warner Bros. Discovery) and Shine Group (now Banijay), where I was Managing Director of Shine Network. I enjoyed over 16 years working in dynamic, complex commercial and creative environments, delivering to stretching targets and building excellent relationships with clients, colleagues and key stakeholders. This first-hand experience helps me to help you with the complexities and issues you face and manage.
After studying Authentic Leadership at Harvard Business School, I decided to change career to fully focus on my passion for people’s professional development. I trained as an Executive Coach with world renowned Meyler Campbell on their Mastered Programme. I am a Certified Business Coach with the World Association of Business Coaches and a Fellow Member of the Institute of Coaching, McLean, Harvard Medical School.
I previously graduated from Cambridge University with a Modern Languages degree and love working with international companies and cultures.
MY APPROACH
Clear, bespoke, results-focused.
My approach is tailored to you and your business goals. I don’t have a fixed process or one set of tools. My flexibility, years of training and coaching experience allows me to draw on a variety of techniques and approaches to provide the blend of art and science that is right for each individual leader.
Getting to clarity is an important part of my approach. Whether you know where you're going or you don't, I'll help you articulate and hone clear goals and together we'll get there. If you're creative, a touch complex or even chaotic, I can help.
At the beginning, we'll look at what you want to achieve and clarify goals
We'll review the coaching impact midway so we can adjust to best meet your goals
We'll clearly evaluate the impacts and results together at the end of our engagement
We’ll work together to deliver the results you want and need. You will feel energised to choose the changes that will work for you and make them stick.
My style
My warm and empathetic style quickly enables us to develop a strong, trusting relationship. I provide a confidential space for you to step back and switch off from your busy, connected life to truly switch on your best thinking.
I listen and ask incisive questions to support, stretch and challenge you and take you to your learning edge. I also provide honest feedback, observations and insights to illuminate potential blind spots. My style helps improve the quality of your thinking. This will in turn improve the quality of your performance and outcomes.
