I spent more than 30 years leading teams, services, partnerships and organisational change across the private, public and voluntary sectors.
I learnt what it means to balance stretched resources, competing priorities and the constant pressure to deliver. I also saw how growth can stretch the systems and leadership approaches that once served an organisation well.
That experience shapes how I coach today. I help leaders step back, understand what is really happening and make better decisions. My focus is on stronger leaders and organisations that can grow beyond any one individual.
Years spent leading teams and services have made me attentive to what sits behind an immediate challenge. A team under pressure or a decision that keeps returning to the founder may point to how responsibility is shared, how a process works or what the organisation has outgrown.
That is where I bring my experience into the coaching conversation. I listen closely, ask questions that help people examine their assumptions and support them in deciding what to change.
