Leadership Coaching and Development for Public Sector Leaders Navigating Change

Space to think, reflect and find clarity
for all stages of leadership

I support leaders across local government and the wider public sector to navigate change with greater clarity, confidence and resilience. Through coaching, facilitation and leadership development, I create thoughtful and engaging spaces where people connect, reflect, explore what matters most, and leave with clarity about the actions they want to take forward. 

With over 30 years’ experience in local government, including 15 years at assistant chief executive and director level, I understand the realities of leading within complex public sector systems.

My Services

I work with individuals, teams and groups across local government and the wider public sector through coaching, facilitation, leadership development and personal resilience.
