A place where ambition meets empathy
Making leadership work better for mothers
I offer leadership coaching for mothers in leadership and the organisations that support us. Here is a place where ambition meets empathy.
Over a decade senior leadership experience | ILM level 7 qualified leadership coach.
Is this familiar?
You're taking on more responsibility at work and wondering how you'll manage everything at home.
You're giving so much to your team and your family that there's little left for yourself.
You're questioning your confidence or feeling overwhelmed by competing expectations.
You're ambitious about your career, but concerned about what progressing further might mean for your personal life.
Whether you're already feeling the pressure or looking ahead to your next step, coaching offers space to explore what matters to you and find your own way forward.
How I can help you
For mothers in leadership
A confidential, reflective space to explore your challenges, strengthen your confidence and establish boundaries that support your leadership and your life.
Together, we can explore competing priorities, difficult decisions, relationships and whatever else matters most to you.
For organisations
I support organisations in two ways:
Supporting the development of women leaders through individual and team coaching.
Facilitating reflective conversations that help organisations examine their culture, expectations and working practices, and identify their own ways to better support mothers in leadership.
My approach
We're often told that women can have it all. Yet many workplaces still aren't structured to fully support the realities of motherhood alongside leadership.
I know from personal experience how challenging this can be.
I believe ambition and empathy belong together.
My coaching offers a space for honest reflection and thoughtful challenge, guided by your goals, values and circumstances. Together, we explore what matters to you, challenge expectations and identify choices and strategies that work within your unique situation.
My Core Values
My practice is embedded in my core values:
Empathy, Integrity, Bravery, Authenticity, Boundaries
