Work With Me

Support for leaders and leadership teams navigating growth, transition and change

Leadership often brings greater responsibility, complexity and expectation.

Whether you're stepping into a bigger role, leading through change, or developing a leadership team, it can be difficult to find the space to think clearly about what is really needed.

My work helps leaders and teams step back, make sense of the challenges they are facing and develop practical, sustainable approaches to leading effectively.

I work with individual leaders, leadership teams and organisations through coaching, leadership development and team development.

Leadership Development Programmes

Coaching-led development programmes for leaders stepping into people leadership or taking on greater responsibility.

Expressions of Interest now open for January 2027 intake.

WHO IT’S FOR

Step Into Leadership

For newly appointed people leaders who want to build confidence, create clarity for their team and handle everyday leadership conversations more effectively.

Leading with Impact

For experienced leaders taking on broader responsibilities who want to create capacity for strategic work, align priorities and strengthen their influencing and negotiating skills.

Both programmes welcome participants from different sectors.

WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT

Each programme combines interactive small-group learning with individual coaching, giving you structured development alongside space to explore your own leadership priorities.

You apply the learning to real situations at work, with support to reflect, practise and make changes over time.

WHAT IT INCLUDES

Each six-month online programme includes:

  • Five two-hour interactive workshops

  • Five individual one-hour coaching sessions

  • Practical application and reflection between workshops

  • A further one-hour coaching session four to six months after completion, to review progress and support continued development

  • A small cohort of up to eight participants

AREAS OF FOCUS

Both programmes draw on my Leadership Development Framework, developed through my own leadership experience, coaching practice and work with leaders and leadership teams.

The framework explores five interconnected areas: Identity, Capacity, Systems, People and Sustainability.

Step Into Leadership focuses on leadership identity and confidence, managing pressure and creating capacity, team clarity, everyday conversations and sustainable leadership.

Leading with Impact focuses on adapting your leadership as responsibilities expand, creating strategic capacity, aligning priorities and ways of working, influencing and negotiating, and sustaining effectiveness and impact.

OUTCOME

Greater clarity and confidence in how you lead, practical approaches to the demands of your role, and changes that support your effectiveness and impact over time.

NEXT INTAKE

Expressions of interest are open for January 2027. Each programme will run subject to minimum participant numbers.
