More than one way of being
Leadership and Executive Team Coach. Mentor. Thinking partner. Team Whisperer. Group Facilitator. Entrepreneur. Business owner. Photographer. Mother. Grandmother. Walker. Writer. Podcast Host. Nature lover.
All of these shape how I see the world and how I work. The coach listens. The writer and photographer notices. The walker changes the view. The entrepreneur likes an idea with somewhere to go. The mother and grandmother know that people have their own way of finding their path.
For many years, I have worked with leaders and their teams through change, challenge and growth. I have sat in rooms with senior leaders from across the Civil Service, the NHS and global organisations. And I have learned that almost everybody wants to be seen, heard and understood.
The strongest leaders know this. Leadership is not one person holding everything together. It is about relationships. It is about whether a team trusts each other enough to share their thoughts, ideas and feelings.
That is the work I love.
I believe in going outside to go inside, and some of the most helpful conversations I have ever had have happened side by side, rather than face to face.
Alongside my coaching work, I have created and collaborated on projects including Collaboration Equation® and Walking Partnerships®. I also host Leaders in Conversation, where leaders share their personal stories. The people, places and experiences that have shaped who they are and why they do what they do.
