Background and approach

I combine my academic background in social and behavioural sciences with industry experience, formal coaching and facilitation training, and years of performing and teaching dance.

I love tapping into these disciplines to craft a coaching approach with you that is both innovative and down-to-earth.

I earned a Master’s degree in Sociology from Stanford University, where I focused on issues of behavior change, wellbeing and longevity. I formally trained as a coach with CTI and hold a Certified Professional Co-Active™ Coach credential and a PCC designation with the International Coach Federation.

Who I work with

Over the past 15 years, I have partnered with individuals and team-coaching clients in the U.S. and Europe from various industries, including technology, finance, construction, media, education, and nonprofits.

I work primarily with senior leaders and those on the cusp of stepping into more senior positions.

Specifically, you and I can work together to make progress in areas such as:

  • Tapping into a more strategic headspace
  • Empowering and upskilling your team
  • Clarifying your brand as a leader
  • Examining how you define success
  • Managing self-doubt and ‘inner critic’ thoughts
  • Influencing stakeholders and gaining buy-in
  • Elevating your presentations and storytelling
  • Aligning expectations
  • Setting boundaries
  • Addressing stress and burnout

Recently I’ve worked with leaders at Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy, RWE, ITN (5 News, Channel 4 News, ITV News), Kuehne+Nagel, ACS Construction, Royal Academy of Engineering, Teneo, Fantasy Interactive, Thomson Reuters Foundation, Royal Albert Hall, XPS Pensions Group, InvestIndustrial, Perwyn, Bartlett Group, and Redburn.

Why I coach

Coaching is one of the most rewarding professions I could imagine. It offers the opportunity to serve as your thought partner and confidant as you recognise the ingredients that make you feel strong, connected, and fulfilled, and then make choices that help you achieve results you care about.

I’ve found time and time again that coaching enables the more personalised work needed to make meaningful shifts in mindset and behaviour. It’s a collaborative relationship filled with mutual respect — and a big dose of creativity and joy.
