A focused 90-day partnership for leaders at mid to senior level, thriving through promotion sprints, career crossroads, executive onboarding, and settling into a bigger seat.
Because I've sat in your shoes. Before I ever coached anyone, eighteen years in strategy, commercial partnerships, and operator roles put me in rooms where real decisions got made.
I always start with psychometrics. Most clients begin our time together with a full Hogan Assessment. This ensures our work is grounded in real evidence about how you operate, not just what comes up in a first conversation.
None of this is theoretical for me. I've navigated my own career pivots, imposter moments, and the return from maternity leave, all while working full time with three kids, a dog, and a husband in the mix. When a client tells me something feels impossible to balance, I understand it, because I've lived it.
A three-month timeframe is long enough to make lasting change, and short enough to hold real momentum.
In my experience, people come to coaching because they want to make a real, sustained change now. Or even three months ago. Working together over 90 days supports this immediate transformation. I love working with clients over this time period: it allows for reflection and evaluation of blind spots, whilst providing time to create a plan for sustained change.
Michael Watkins' research on leadership transitions calls the first 90 days a natural unit of change, and I see it just as consistently with my own clients.
The Hogan suite (HPI, HDS, MVPI) is the psychometric assessment used by many FTSE 100 and Fortune 500 companies to evaluate senior leaders. It goes beyond a standard personality test to show how you perform under pressure, where you're most likely to derail, and what actually drives you.
How you're likely to lead and work with others day to day, under normal conditions.
The specific ways you're likely to derail under pressure, often ones you can't see in yourself.
What actually drives you, and the kind of culture and work where you'll do your best.
There are two ways to work with me across a focussed 90-day partnership, both built on real psychometric data from day one. Curious what we'd actually work on? See the three programmes →

A large proportion of my clients don't pay for this themselves. Their employer does. Leadership coaching is increasingly recognised as a core part of L&D and talent investment, particularly at the promotion and transition points this programme is built around.
If that's a route you'd like to explore:
Eighteen years in strategy, commercial partnerships, and operator roles came before I ever coached anyone: at Sky, OC&C Strategy Consultants, the BBC, and inside a VC-backed portfolio. I read at Oxford (St Edmund Hall), and I've sat on the other side of the table too, as a board member and board observer. I launched my coaching practice in January 2025.
I'm ICF-accredited (ACC, working toward PCC) and a Certified Hogan Practitioner, working with real psychometric evidence through Hogan assessments.
