Why me?
There are many coaches out there. I bring rare depth and breadth to my coaching practice.
Since 2010, I’ve clocked up hundreds of hours coaching mid-level and C-suite leaders one-to-one, and thousands more (the current tally is 6500) facilitating leadership development and communication skills programmes for teams and groups.
So I’ve seen the many obstacles – personal and systemic – leaders face, and I know they can be navigated, I’ve seen it. I meet you with this experience, alongside non-judgement, warmth and incisiveness.
My clients come from all sectors: from investment banks to telecoms; non-profits to academia—including BT, Channel 4, The Guardian, Syngenta, and Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine amongst many others. I intentionally don’t specialise in a single market. This offers you a fresh perspective, reassurance that it’s not just you facing this struggle, and a robust approach that doesn’t slip into giving you subjective advice. I trust that you ultimately know the route through.

I trained as an actress in my early 20s and worked in theatre; a fertile training ground in empathy, creativity and teamwork. I spot people’s patterns and the relational dynamics between them. How do you typically show up? Are you aware of your patterns? Noticing them is the first step to accessing the many other choices you can make. You are much more than your habitual tendencies.

I truly believe in the power of coaching to expand a leader’s—and a team’s—sense of self. I work with leaders who care about making a lasting impact and want to – I say deserve to! – fully realise their potential.
It’s not easy to do this alone, especially under the pressures of organisational life and with a senior title. I walk alongside you, asking the questions you might be avoiding and reflecting the strengths and qualities that have brought you this far. From there, you’re freer to explore: where do I want to go next?
Jess was outstanding. A real professional coach who knows how to unleash the best from a team of academics and practitioners. We really saw the value and the dedication. Beautiful work.
