Leadership, Career Development and Maternity Coach
About Me
My background
I started my career as a trainee chartered accountant before moving into a media agency for 25 years and becoming a Business Director. During this time, I had 3 children and returned to work. I am also a co founder of a successful outstanding secondary school for boys and girls from all backgrounds and continue to volunteer there.
Why I decided to become a coach
Becoming a coach felt like a natural career progression for me. I have always gravitated towards roles where I can help others, from helping to set up a school to working as a coach/mentor in a media agency following my return to work after children. It is during this time that I came to understand the value of coaching, for all levels within an organisation, not just senior leadership and gained my qualification with the Association of Coaching.
Experience and empathy
I understand, from my own experience, that there are points in a career where people need to feel supported e.g. when recently promoted or recently becoming a parent. I bring empathy and experience to my coaching conversations having both managed a team and returning to work as a parent. I see our coaching journey as a partnership, we are united in your goal from the moment we begin.
