THE STARTING POINT

Challenges I help you overcome

Do you go screaming into a pillow when you think about team management? If you feel disconnected from your role and find it hard to get the results you want, then I can definitely help you.

Getting stuck in the weeds

Keep getting sucked back in to do the work? I help you step back, delegate effectively, and focus on the bigger picture.

Difficulty inspiring others

Struggling to inspire positive change or influence your team? I help you build the trust and safety needed to lead effectively.

Struggling with balance

Struggling to find the balance between being firm with understanding? Is leadership affecting your time, health, or sense of self?

Unsure in conflict and change

Are you facing difficulties in resolving disagreements and unsure of how to help your team adjust to new circumstances?

How do I know if you’re the right coach for me?

What all my clients have in common is a commitment to personal growth and the self-awareness to recognise that there are areas they need to improve in to become the leaders they aspire to be. They also tend to have a good sense of humour and want to have fun along the way. If that sounds like you, we’ll likely get along well!
