I create collaborative learning experiences to elevate self-awareness, strengthen professional skills development, and inspire growth. Specialising in workshops for leadership, management, and teams, where I work as your guide, coach, and facilitator, helping to promote a culture of learning, innovation and human connection to drive your growth and business goals.
BACKGROUND

It's from this unique position that I thoroughly enjoy collaborating and co-creating with founders and entrepreneurial leaders.
CONSULTANT
As an accomplished leader and consultant, I've worked with FTSE100, Fortune 500 companies, SMEs, and startup leaders. As a result, I've seen and experienced first-hand the challenges of accelerating pace, continuous change, and the opportunities that having an entrepreneurial mindset brings.
COACHING & MENTORSHIP
I believe in human potential and am motivated by creating impact and helping others achieve more than they thought possible, coaching and mentoring since 2010.
