Achieve your career goals
Whether you are looking to build your confidence, develop your leadership capabilities, or go for promotion, I will help you define your goals, identify and address what is holding you back and support you in going for what you want to achieve.
Executive Coaching & Leadership Development
It can be lonely at the top (and exhausting) and it can be more difficult to ask for help or share your concerns the more senior you become. That’s why I launched genpotential – to give leaders the tools they need to manage their own and others’ development.
Common areas that executives and senior management seek my help on are:
- Burnout and managing work/life boundaries,
- Trust and delegation
- Communication styles
- Confidence and Imposter Syndrome
- Leadership styles.
Coaching’s not just for executives either. I work with senior managers, managers and your identified talent throughout the business, to show your people you are investing in them, to increase retention and to build a robust succession plan for the future.
Closing Generation Gaps
Ever noticed generation gaps coming up at work? Often younger employees are ambitious and driven but feel overlooked or misunderstood, while older employees may feel underappreciated and out of synch with new generations.
That’s why I’m passionate about giving leaders the tools to help different generations to understand each other, and work more effectively together.
This is one of the reasons I founded genpotential – so read my research and whitepaper on closing generation gaps here – Whitepaper.
Neurodiversity at Work
I am a specialist in neurodiversity, and I understand the strengths and challenges that ADHD, ASD and other neurodivergent conditions can bring.
If you are neurodivergent yourself, I will help you understand what your diagnosis means for you and will help you find tools and strategies to play to your strengths and realise your potential at work.
If you are a leader, I will give you the confidence to open up conversations about ADHD, Autism and Dyslexia to increase neuroinclusion and create psychologically safe workplaces for your teams. Read more about my work with leaders through my company genpotential here.

Returning from Parental Leave
I know from personal experience that returning to work from parental leave can feel daunting and overwhelming. Common questions that I help my clients address include:
How do I juggle family commitments with work?
How do I re-integrate back into the team?
How do I build my confidence back up?
What do I want now?
How do I hold my boundaries while still getting the job done?
Many people returning from parental leave question their abilities and identity. They worry that they have lost their skills and feel “out of the loop”. I help them regain their confidence and manage their new family commitments in tandem with moving their career forward.
How do I know if Coaching is right for me?
I want to achieve more from my career
Whether you want to grow your business, get promoted or launch a new venture, we can work together to define goals and develop action plans to get you where you want to go. We can also identify and address any specific challenges that you feel might be holding you back – whether that be building your confidence, overcoming perfectionism or managing fear of what others think, so that you feel better equipped to achieve your goals.
I'm working on a creative project
I will help you to keep motivated and on task through each stage of the creative process. From idea generation to bringing your creative project to fruition, I will help you overcome blockers such as struggling to get going, managing distractions, overcoming dips in motivation and keeping focused. This will help not only deliver your project but also raise your self-awareness and help you better self-regulate in the future.
I’m neurodiverse
Whether you have just discovered your neurodiversity or want some fresh new ideas to manage your challenges, I will help you with both understanding more about yourself as well as with practical techniques. You might want to work through how to get started with tasks, how to manage sensitivity to others’ opinions or how to keep on task. Whatever your challenge, I will use the latest research to help you learn more about how your brain processes, and what you can do to achieve your goals.
I’m returning from parental leave
You may want to rebuild your confidence or define some goals now that you are returning to work. You may want to work on your career plan, or consider how you juggle family and career, or you may want to discuss how to maintain your boundaries. Whether it is emotional or practical support, we can work together to ensure that you feel confident and well-equipped as you return to work.
My Approach
I hold a safe, non-judgmental and confidential space for you to explore your career goals and what might be holding you back. Unlike talking to family, friends or colleagues, our sessions will give you neutral time and space either to use as a sounding board for new ideas or to work through issues that you might feel uncomfortable sharing elsewhere.
Some sessions will be practical and solution-focused, where I will use skilful questioning to guide you towards the outcome that you want to achieve. You may want other sessions to be more reflective – drawing on my Psychology training to help raise your self-awareness and to help you overcome anything that might be getting in your way.
Most importantly, I will strike a balance between challenge and support, focus and good humour so that working together is not only thought-provoking and productive, but also enjoyable and enlightening.
How It Works
Schedule a Free 1:1
This is a relaxed and easy going initial chat.
It’s a chance for you to tell me where you’re at and what you want to change, and for me to give you a feel for how I might help and to answer any questions that you might have.
See how you feel
We can start with one session and see what you think.
If you enjoy it, then you can either schedule regular sessions, or else book appointments as and when you need them. Each session is an hour, and I work face to face, by phone or by zoom.
Start seeing the changes
As a result of working together, you will notice your thoughts and feelings start to shift – both during the sessions as well as in the days after.
Whether this is a “lightbulb moment” where things suddenly make sense, or a more gradual process, you will begin to feel clearer, focused and more settled in yourself.
