WORK WITH ME

Stop performing. Start leading as yourself.

AUTHENTIC LEADERSHIP | IDENTITY | LEADERSHIP

Most leadership development focuses on what you do. This work focuses on who you are — because that's where real change begins.

I work with high-potential senior leaders who perform well on paper but lead from behind a mask.

The presenting issue might be: imposter syndrome, a confidence wobble, or a career crossroads.

Underneath it's always the same question: Who am I, and is there room to lead as that person?

Here's how we work together:

We work with

The Making of You

6 x 90 min sessions | Monthly | £3,997 + VAT
VIP upgrade with Hogan psychometric suite | £4,997 + VAT

You're good at your job. You’re probably *brilliant*.

But somewhere along the way doing your day job started to feel like a performance rather than showing up as yourself. And it’s EXHAUSTING.

The Making of You is a 6-session identity and leadership coaching programme built around the thing most leadership development ignores: you. We work through your values, beliefs and boundaries (among other things) to uncover what's actually running the show — and build your next level from there.

This isn't surface-level tactics. It's the deeper work that makes the tactics actually stick.

What we cover:

  • Uncovering the beliefs and patterns running the show

  • Unlearning what no longer serves you

  • Unlocking the conviction, boundaries and habits to lead authentically

  • Setting good quality goals, and designing a personalised system to get you there.

VIP upgrade: Add the full Hogan psychometric suite (HPI, HDS and MVPI) for a comprehensive picture of how you show up, what derails you under pressure, and what you're genuinely capable of; woven into your programme from the start.

KICKSTART

1 x 90 min session | Intake form included | £497 + VAT

Not sure where to start? Need to get unstuck on one specific thing - and time is of the essence?

The Kickstart is a single, focused 90-minute session built around one challenge or question. You complete a short intake form beforehand so we hit the ground running. You leave with clarity, a concrete plan, and a much better sense of what's actually in the way.

It works as a standalone session, or as a natural first step into the full Making of You programme if you want to try working together before committing.

One session. One focus. Real clarity.

Let’s kickstart your progress today.

HOGAN PSYCHOMETRIC COACHING

Single report or full suite | From £550 + VAT

One of the most powerful tools for leadership self-awareness — and most leaders have never had a proper debrief. They've had a report land in their inbox and gather dust.

I use the Hogan suite (HPI, HDS and MVPI) to build a clear, honest picture of how you show up at your best, what gets in your way under pressure, and what you're genuinely capable of. Then we build a plan around it.

Two options:

  • Single Report + Debrief — one report (HPI, HDS or MVPI) + 90 min debrief session. £550 + VAT

  • Full Suite + Comprehensive Debrief — all three reports + in-depth debrief. £1,350 + VAT

Also available as a VIP bolt-on to The Making of You programme.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • My style is warm, supportive, and pragmatic—with a no-fluff, no-nonsense approach.

    Think of the quote: "I come in peace, but I mean business."

    Expect thought-provoking questions that challenge you, time to reflect, and the rare luxury of having someone fully focused on you. I bring a wealth of tools and techniques, carefully selecting the right ones to suit your unique challenges.

  • While coaching, counselling, and mentoring all support personal and professional growth, they serve different purposes:

    • Counselling/Therapy: Focuses on exploring past experiences to understand and heal from emotional challenges.

    • Coaching: A forward-focused process designed to help you gain perspective, set goals, and create meaningful change in the present.

    • Mentoring: Involves receiving informal guidance from someone with expertise in a specific field to help navigate future career or leadership challenges.

    I blend coaching and mentoring, drawing on over 10 years of talent development experience to help you create lasting transformation.

  • In my former life as a Senior Talent Development Lead I found off-the-shelf trainings could only take you so far. That’s why I offer bespoke or custom solutions that are developed specifically for your team and the unique challenges you’re facing.

    The best thing to do is book in a no-obligation call to discuss, and we can go from there.

  • Perfect! That’s exactly what the Rapid Kickstart Coaching offers. We’ll have a discovery call first to build rapport and so I can hear more about your challenge, and then I’ll invite you to share your responses to some questions via email so I can prepare for our session.

  • Successful coaching requires five key ingredients:

    1. Rapport – A strong connection is essential so that you feel comfortable opening up.

    2. Trust – Coaching works best when you're willing to be honest and a little vulnerable.

    3. Commitment – Sessions need your energy and dedication. That means prioritising our time together and following through on actions between sessions.

    4. Reflection – Growth happens between sessions. Jotting down insights, observations, and challenges will accelerate your progress.

    5. Openness to Change – You're here because something needs to shift. Coaching is about exploring new approaches, stretching your thinking, and embracing fresh perspectives.

    Before we start, we’ll have a discovery call to ensure we’re a great fit. I only take on a limited number of clients to provide the focus and attention you deserve.

  • Absolutely! Many of my clients have utilised their companies L&D budgets to fund or part-fund coaching as part of their professional development. I wrote a blog about this, as so many people are unaware that they have access to this kind of funding and the positive benefits for employers. You can read more about the value of investing in coaching for employers on my blog: The ROI of coaching

    I also offer payment plans, please get in touch to discuss.
