I am an ICF accredited Leadership Coach focused on leadership development, 1:1 coaching and group facilitation. I have over 20 years’ experience working in change, operations and business leadership roles. Throughout this time, I have developed a passion for creating inclusive and diverse teams and ultimately improving diversity at senior leadership. I have a driving belief that ‘Diversity in leadership should be representative of diversity in people led and customers served’. I am a highly experienced leader who has led large operational teams, small technical teams, business P&L teams and bespoke project teams across different sectors and locations. I have consulted to and facilitated senior teams in shaping organisational strategy, develop transformation programs and build team effectiveness. As an Associate Certified Coach with the International Coach Federation, I also played a foundational role in setting up and running a professional global coaching faculty within a major global financial services organisation making coaching affordable and accessible. As a leadership coach and facilitator, I have designed and facilitated talent development programs aimed at improving gender diversity at senior levels and have developed a bespoke coaching programme aimed at supporting ethnic minority professionals navigate into senior leadership roles. On diversity, I have recognised and experienced first-hand the lack of diversity in organisations, particularly on ethnic minority and gender representation in senior leadership roles. I believe this is a direct result of leaders lacking the knowledge, awareness and skills needed to create truly inclusive teams and organisations and therefore made it my mission to also support leaders of diverse teams to create inclusive workplaces and environments where diversity can thrive.
