Truthfully, I’ve been doing what I do since I was six years old, because what I do is observe human beings, ask big questions and listen for what’s not being said.

When I was six, I remember going to a local theatre production on my sister’s birthday, and we were all sitting in the theatre watching this interactive children’s play. In the play, they asked the audience if someone could come down and help them out with whatever the next scene was. I have such a distinct memory of my older sister shaking with fear, shrinking smaller and smaller, hoping that they wouldn’t choose her, and I was literally jumping out of my seat with my hand up begging them to pick me. I just wanted to be a part of something that was being created that was going to affect other people.

Now, I affect other people’s stories in the same way. I’m a part of their story, I’m a catalyst for change in terms of the way that they think and feel, and in turn how that they behave in the world. That’s what I wanted to do as an actress, which was powerful in theatre particularly – as you could feel it when the change happened. 

But now not only do I inspire people, but I get to give people the tools to empower them to be able to change themselves for the better.

I left my 15-year banking career, and for six months, I worked as an FX trader online with two screens on the go at any given time, working in my pajamas. 

A good friend of mine recommended that I should do leadership development and communication skills training. 

She partnered me up with a guy who was doing some training for a major banking company, who are notoriously challenging to work with. I didn’t feel as though I was ready so I had to force myself to be ready. 

If I had stopped after this first session because I felt that my performance wasn’t perfect, then I would have been right back where I started. I committed myself to continually learn from experience and that’s what has made me who I am today as a coach.

From there, I did a little bit more work with him and partnered with a training company, which helped me build my confidence because I was learning from others. I would see the other trainers in the room and take notes on their different approaches. 

It took me six years to be able to see what those around me saw from the beginning. It took this long to officially have confidence and say that I am good at what I do. 

But this wasn’t the first time that I had had low confidence because I did the same in my acting career. I literally turned down work as an actress because I thought that I wasn’t good enough even when I had been asked to come in for a role. I know what it feels like to think that you’re not good enough. It holds you in such a horrible space. 

I had to relearn this lesson because I didn’t know that I was self-sabotaging the first-time. I didn’t understand exactly why I had fallen into this space of not feeling good enough. I didn’t have the language around it, I just didn’t know exactly what it was that I needed to learn. I didn’t know who I was.

Self-awareness requires reflection, which isn’t an easy task if you don’t want to reflect upon who you are because you don’t like who you are. So you don’t want to spend that thinking time, because all you do is have the same thoughts amplified in your head without any further information. 

I went through a period of having low confidence and needing to continue to train with experts before I felt that I was good enough. 

I trained in a psychometric profiling tool which was a game-changer in terms of learning how our brains work, and I also trained as an executive coach. It was when I did that that I felt like I was then truly a coach, as opposed to someone who has been in business that is now sharing some of their expertise.

Listening to other people who were telling me the good stuff – listening to people who saw what I didn’t see at the time

It was a big shift that didn’t happen quickly for me.

You can accelerate that mindset shift quickly when you’re equipped with the right tools and you’re consistent with the work that you do. I don’t want anyone to go through the harrowing process that I had to take to regain my confidence.

I’m more than a coach. I’m also a trainer and a mentor, so I’m able to bring different has to my coaching, and I have a very clear methodology.

I am three things because of my three lives, which mean that I bring forth the creative, the commercial and the cognitive. As an actress, I’m creative and bring creative thought and innovation to the workshops, masterclasses and one on one coaching that I provide. I’ve also managed a multi-million pound PNL in banking – I have a deep insight of the real challenges that people face in their careers that other coaches who haven’t had the same experiences. I’m also a neuroscience nerd. I’m trained in the neuroscience of decision making, trust, connection, change – which is something that I can bring to my work to help you gain a deep understanding of the science behind those critical thought-processes.

My past clients have been corporations including insurance companies and investment banks. 

I now executive coach leaders within corporate business, and entrepreneurs. Anyone from early careers to board-level. My clients are curious, ambitious and have a desire to move forward from where they are currently at in their career.

I don’t coach anyone who sees coaching as a punishment rather than a reward. If you’re not curious about why something is important to you or if you see coaching as more of a punishment for not being in the position that you’d like to be rather than a reward, then my coaching is not for you.

I work best with people who are curious, and are willing to be in a space where they can become vulnerable and out of their comfort zones.

With anyone that I work with – to get them from one side of the river to the other, it is very clear that they have to start with curiosity. They have to start to want to understand who they are. They have to have a curiosity about why the thing that they want on the other side of the river is so important to them.

As a coach, I can be that bridge for you. I will hold you through this process. I will help you realize that you have a community, not just with myself but with those around you who can help you through this process. I can also help you see exactly who and what is holding you back.

To make this work, you will need three things: curiosity, courage, and commitment.

We start with curiosity. I can’t work with you and act as a catalyst for your transformation if that is not established. You also have to have the courage to fail and be committed enough to work through things that may be more challenging for you so that together we can get to the other side. It is a process, but once you understand that process you’ll be able to recognize where you are and be empowered enough to self-coach yourself through to the other side.

Of course, once you get to the other side, this is not the end. There will always be more bridges to cross and milestones that you can and will achieve, through the same process. It will take consistency and commitment that will help you achieve your goals, but the community that you choose to surround yourself with will help you remain focused.

I’m yet to come across someone that I can’t help. Because of the training that I have, I don’t have to have had the same career as you to empower you to get what you want. No matter the career path or business venture that you are undertaking, my methodology remains the same because at its core the same. I will never be the expert on you, whatever field you are in. That is not my job. My job is to illicit the expert from you – which is what I do through my methodology.

The system is a five-step process: Curiosity, Courage, Consistency, Commitment, and Community. The elements included are time for reflection, accountability, coaching intervention, access to a community of like-minded people, and moments of celebration.

You can work with me one of three ways: one month, three months or six months. Please note that transformation isn’t a magic pill. After an initial discussion with one another, we can establish what program length would be best to suit the type of transformation you are about to undertake. In terms of the results, I can’t do the hard work for you. What I can do is help you to get where you want to be. So you can expect to receive the tools necessary to become genuinely empowered and transform yourself into who you want to become.
