I strongly believe that leaders have the capacity – and responsibility - to make work a meaningful, positive experience for employees. So I work with executives and organisations, focusing on how leaders can, through self-awareness, lead change with integrity, courage and compassion. These values are at the heart of all my work – and my life – as I know they make a difference to organisational life.

The world is facing great turbulence with the Covid Pandemic, the Climate Crisis and many Social Justice challenges. Although organisations - whatever their size - are impacted by this turbulence they can also be leaders of what happens next. I strongly believe that to lead at any time, but particularly in times of change, requires a healthy self-awareness. I have faced much change during my life – personally as well as in organisations - and through that I deeply understand the psychological process we go through as human beings during transformations. I apply those insights to helping organisations and their leaders face the challenges of our times.

When you work with me, you benefit from my experience of major change in global corporations. I have not only held executive positions but have significant experience as a coach and consultant in a wide range of global industrial sectors. I draw upon all of this for my clients whether they are seeking individual coaching or creating large-scale organisational change; I can empathise with your situation, however uniquely challenging it may seem to you.

As a global, multicultural individual I can help you gain new insights and actions from looking at things from a number of angles. I am British by birth, with Welsh roots, a European citizen, and have lived in France for over 25 years. There are ten nationalities in my family, and I have worked with people from many different cultures, backgrounds, nations and languages in the course of my career. Whether I am working with a global company or a small social entrepreneur I am certain that we are intimately connected, requiring the same answers to address identical issues, albeit in very different contexts.

I create a space for you to talk and be listened to - a modern-day luxury! Time to be heard and even to be silent. I will challenge you with empathy and give you the chance to stretch your ideas and leadership style. You can feel free to be who you want to be and say what is on your mind: I will be there.

When I have the opportunity to work on a larger scale project, needing a more sizable team and deeper resources, I bring in one of these trusted partners with whom I have a formal relationship. I am fortunate to work with some of the very best partners in the world; our work together inspires me, keeps me fresh and always learning.

I practice what I preach: I invest regularly in my own development to continuously update my skills and knowledge, as well as to deepen my self-awareness. As a coach I have regular Supervision and abide by the Code of Ethics of EMCC as well as Ashridge Business School in the UK, where I completed my coaching training. I am certified in a number of psychometric assessments as well as being a certified WIAL coach.
