As a startup founder, first-time or seasoned CEO, or senior executive, navigating the demands of business and leadership can feel lonely and isolating.
Who do you confide in when you need to share ideas? Who questions your assumptions and identifies areas for improvement? Who unlocks your potential to maximise your professional growth and achieve your business and leadership goals?
That’s where I step in! I’ve been a CEO, MD, and startup founder myself and I understand the pressures under which senior executives operate. In short, I’ve ‘been there and done that’!
I bring to the table a wealth of diverse business experience, along with a common sense, pragmatic approach, and an often-needed sense of humour, gained over a decades-long career in the publishing and related industries. (I offer exclusive rates for fellow members of the Independent Publishers Guild, aka the ‘IPG’.)
My tailored coaching programmes support leaders with their specific leadership challenges, business goals, and milestone career transition, such as promotion to first-time CEO, founding a startup, building a new management team, optimising value in preparation for a sale, or integrating an acquired business. I also work with them in more difficult times, during which they may need to ‘re-engineer’, or ‘re-size’ their business as a result of adverse market conditions.
I’ve been a coach for twelve years.
I hold an ILM Level 7 Certificate for Senior Level Coaches and Mentors gained at Oxford Brookes Business School.
I’m a member of the Trusted Coach Directory (TCD) and European Mentoring and Coaching Council (EMCC).
I abide by the Global Code of Ethics for Coaches, Mentors, and Supervisors.
