“In such a fast-paced, constantly evolving world, the benefits of change leadership have never been more important.

Not only does it deepen your understanding of the leader you are now and the one you need to become, it will also help you support and inspire those around you.”


The Personal Bit
60 seconds’ work and play…

3 words that sum you up?
Open. Congenial. Engaged.

And 3 words that don’t?
Blinkered. Self-serving. Uninterested.

The best audience/coachees?
Those open to change who are willing to experiment with different ways of doing things and prepared to have some fun along the way…

What makes you laugh or smile?
My two whippets going crazy on our walks.

Talk to me about…
What it is you’d like – but haven’t yet managed – to do differently….

Ideal superpower?
To reverse climate change. And, who wouldn’t want to fly?!

Biggest ‘Doh!’ moment?
In a last-minute rush to get my children to an athletics fixture on time, running full pelt into the closing car boot… and the broken nose that resulted. In fact, everything I said for the next few days sounded like “Doh!”

When not coaching, you’ll find me…
Attending gigs and concerts, reading, dog-walking and being mum!

My Objective:

To show leaders that there are no limits to what they can achieve and the difference that makes to everything and everyone around them – no matter what the challenges.
