THE STARTING POINT
You’re great at your job. Leadership’s the bit that’s quietly wearing you down.
Here’s what you actually need to lead with clarity, confidence — and less cortisol.
Feel in control without micromanaging
You want to step out of the weeds, trust your team, and know things are being done well, so you can focus on leading and being more strategic.
Build a team that takes ownership
You want a team that thinks for themselves, solves problems, takes accountability - so they’re not waiting for you to rescue them.
Be respected as a leader
You want your voice to carry weight with your team, your peers, and the board. You want to be seen as credible, decisive and strategic.
Grow without burning out
You want to grow yourself, your team and your organisation - without losing your health, family, or values. You want success with balance.
Navigate change with ease
You want to manage transitions, adversity, and tough conversations without the sleepless nights.
Enjoy leading again
You want leadership to feel energising not exhausting. You want less firefighting, more flow. Less second-guessing, more “I’ve got this.”
my unique approach
There’s no shortage of leadership advice out there. But unlike Linda’s “just work harder” mantra, my approach combines three things leaders actually need:
First-hand experience
I sat in the MD’s chair at 29. I’ve had a seat at multiple boardroom tables, steered teams through growth, crises, and change. I know what leadership really feels like - not just what the books say.
Practical tools that stick
From simple frameworks I’ve created to leadership theory that doesn’t feel heavy, I give you tools you can actually use - not just “be more confident” fluff, and definitely no corporate jargon.
Levity and humour
Learning sticks when it’s enjoyable. Whether it’s through storytelling, dry wit, or a cameo from Linda the Bad Manager, I cut through the nonsense and help create lasting change.
"Linda, the Bad Manager" started as my tongue-in-cheek alter-ego - and struck a chord with leaders everywhere.
Because, sadly, we’ve all met a "Linda"… and most of us can be a little "Linda" (even if we hate to admit it).
My mission is to help leaders be less like "Linda", and more like the inspirational leader they want to be, and their team deserves.
You can see "Linda" bombarding her way through on my social media channels, if you’ve not met her before!
EMPOWERING LEADERS
Who I help succeed
Owners and managers of small to mid-sized businesses
I specialise in working with leaders in agencies and consultancies - to develop strategic skills to manage growth and long-term goals
C-suite and senior leaders
I support senior leaders who want to build trust, handle pace and scale, drive performance and navigate the complexities of leading in challenging situations
Aspiring/new leaders, account directors and managers
I help aspiring leaders secure the promotion they're after, set themselves up for success and feel confident in the role when they get there
"Linda" would place herself as a C-suite leader who’s already perfect and doesn’t need coaching -
“Just work harder, stay later, and remind your team you’ll fix it if they don’t.”
If you’ve ever caught yourself sounding even a tiny bit like "Linda"… perhaps you’d like to have a chat..

Frequently asked questions
Got questions? Let’s clear up any doubts and get you excited about transforming your leadership journey.
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!
