Find a Better Way
Working with founders and senior leaders who recognise that what has worked before is no longer enough.
In fast-moving organisations, it’s easy to rely on what’s worked before. Under pressure, thinking narrows, decisions get harder, and familiar patterns can hold you back rather than move you forward. My work helps founders and leaders step out of autopilot and lead more intentionally, especially when the stakes are high.
I have spent 15 years in senior leadership roles in media and tech before training as an executive coach. I bring practical leadership experience that shapes every coaching conversation with a knowing inquiry.
The focus of the work is building psychological flexibility: the ability to stay grounded, think clearly, and choose how you respond, even when things feel uncertain or intense. This supports better judgment, stronger relationships, and leadership that holds up under pressure.
I often work with leaders at inflection points, when growth, change, or increased responsibility expose the limits of old habits. The goal isn’t simply to add more tools. It’s to help you evolve how you think, decide, and lead, so your leadership keeps pace with the reality you’re in.
Working Together
My executive coaching gives you space to slow down, think things through, and see situations more clearly.
Where helpful, I incorporate evidence-based assessments and structured feedback to support insight and focus. This can include tools such as Gallup StrengthsFinder, Hogan, and HBDI, as well as stakeholder interviews and feedback reports. These inputs provide an external perspective and help ground the work in how others experience your leadership.
Coaching opportunities include:
Evolve Your Leadership Impact
Helping you lead more intentionally as your role and context change. This often involves strengthening leadership presence, improving how you delegate and develop others, building more effective relationships, and developing a more flexible, situational approach to leading teams.
Strengthen Personal Effectiveness
Building the inner capacity to lead well under pressure. This includes working with unhelpful thinking patterns, addressing self-defeating behaviours such as perfectionism or imposter syndrome, increasing tolerance for uncertainty, and sustaining performance and wellbeing over time.
Navigate Systemic Challenges
Clearer thinking and better decisions when the stakes are high. This includes developing new perspectives on live challenges, managing difficult stakeholders, leading organisational change, and strengthening judgment by surfacing and challenging assumptions.
Clarify Direction and Transitions
Supporting career and role transitions, including founder to CEO, promotions, structural changes, or broader career decisions. The work clarifies direction, prepares you for important conversations, and builds practical plans for what’s next.
What to Expect
My approach is practical and shaped around what will make the biggest difference for you. Most engagements follow a clear arc: clarity, insight, experimentation, and integration. This reflects years of working with founders and leaders in media, technology, and founder-led organisations.
I can help you:
Clarify goals and focus
Define what you want to change, what success looks like, and how progress will be measured, so attention stays on what truly matters.
See the wider system you’re leading
Look beyond individual behaviour to understand team dynamics, stakeholder relationships, and the broader organisational context shaping performance.
Notice patterns under pressure
Recognise the thinking and behavioural patterns that surface when the stakes are high, especially those that limit effectiveness or narrow choice.
Build on strengths while challenging habits
Leverage what already works well, while constructively challenging the habits and assumptions that no longer serve you.
Turn insight into action
Translate reflection into clear decisions and practical next steps, so insight leads to meaningful and lasting change.
Throughout the work, I facilitate tripartite meetings with sponsors where relevant, and incorporate assessments, stakeholder interviews, and feedback reports to ground the coaching in how leadership is experienced by others.
