Professional Coaching
I adopt a tailored, person‑centred approach to coaching, drawing on high‑quality psychometric tools to help clients deepen their understanding of their strengths, values and the motivations that shape their behaviour and communication style.
My experience as both a senior leader and a team member across diverse industries shapes the way I coach — practical, grounded and focused on what really happens in workplaces.
My focus is on achieving the goals you seek to achieve, building confidence and self‑belief, creating space for honest reflection and encouraging practical shifts that make a meaningful difference at work.
I offer supportive challenge when it helps create change, and I work alongside clients as they navigate their own workplace situations so they can achieve successful outcomes through their own insight and action. My role is to guide, question, support and stretch — helping people move forward with clarity, capability and a renewed sense of possibility.
What to look for in a high calibre professional coach......
Someone who aligns with your values
Feeling comfortable discussing professional issues with your coach is essential for you to be able to learn and self-reflect effectively. Research has shown that coach-coachee relationships are more successful when a coach understands the values and purpose of the coachee.
Provides direction
Whilst the ability listen is incredibly important, coaches who then provide perspectives and suggestions for positive direction can assist you to move more actively towards your goals.
Effective coaches will provide useful analysis of your situation and then co-create with you an action plan to progress. When assessing if a coach is right for you, perhaps ask them what sort of tools and structures they utilise in their work.
A good communicator
Warmth and the ability to actively listen are arguably the most useful attributes a coach can provide. When you first meet your intended coach, do they seek to establish your needs? Do they clarify back to you once you have explained your current situation. Are they friendly and supportive?
Reflect on these questions before proceeding – Do you feel comfortable with this person?
A coach who themselves has achieved both failure and success
We learn from our successes and failures – This shapes life. Your coach should be able to provide insight from their own career learnings in order to enhance your own.
Who is prepared to develop an understanding of your work industry and situation
I have had a number of formal and informal coaches in my own professional journey. The best were always those who, were prepared to gain understanding my work. This enabled them to then understand particular nuances that may have affected my professional goals and relationships.
Has broad working experience
A coach who has experienced working life and all its ups and downs, and who can relate to your own circumstances, is then better able to provide solutions to guide you on your own journey forward.
Is flexible and adaptable
Your ability to be proactive in shaping your own intended objectives is important when taking on a coach. Being able to pivot the course you are on is part of the game of life. Your coach should be flexible enough to adapt if your own objectives change, and to alter the type of tools they utilise to assist you where required.
A great coach is gold for your present and future career progression. Trust your gut when meeting a potential coach for the first time – but always back this up with some informed questions and observation.
