About me
I started my career as a management consultant at Accenture where I specialised in the Insurance sector. I led teams responsible for business transformation and worked in the UK, USA and Germany. I learned so much about how businesses operate and the importance of creating a trusted culture and strong client relations.
In my mid-twenties I wanted to go back to my home in the North of England and so left consultancy to join Halifax Bank. In the blink of an eye, 21 years later I had worked my way through the organisation to become a senior programme director delivering IT and people transformation across multiple divisions. It was a fulfilling career and enabled me to achieve my aspirations as well as start a family. It was always a juggle but was worth it and I found out what really made me tick - helping and nurturing people. In all my roles I focused on ensuring people felt trusted, empowered and believed in. Everything else followed. This formula rarely let me down.
​
Next came the boldest step I have ever made. I had dreamed about being my own CEO. Building something that represented my brand and values. I left the bank and retrained as a coach, gaining an ICF Accredited Postgraduate Certificate in Business and Personal Coaching.

Who do I help?
I help people at different stages of their career. Those starting out and looking for focus and direction, those flying high and wanting to super-charge their career, maternity/paternity returners, mid life career pivoters. No matter where you are in your career, coaching can help you reset and work out what matters to you.
How does it work?
After an initial session we work together to create an approach that works for you. It may be you are looking for an individual session to focus on a specific issue or topic. Alternatively, to really drive your transformation a series of sessions can be beneficial. All sessions are virtual which means you can make coaching work around your schedule and lifestyle.
What's in it for you?
When was the last time you were truly listened to or had dedicated time to focus on your needs? It's not a privilege, its a necessity to really invest in your career and wellbeing. You will have the opportunity to reflect on where you find yourself now, build insight and understanding and then reimagine your goals, mindset and identity. Most importantly it will equip you with tools and techniques to apply in the "real world" so you can make the change stick!
