I have over 30 years experience in the public sector procurement space, working at local, regional and national levels. I am currently a member of the Senior Leadership Team in the National Commercial Directorate, NHS England and support the team with strategic thinking and organisational transformation in relation to commercial direction, including procurement.I’m an accredited Performance Development Coach with many years of coaching experience. My background includes commercial and coaching study to masters level and multiple CPD certifications in coaching including Performance Development Coaching, Career Coaching and Executive Coaching, utilising a range of methodology and tools.My interests and focus are self-awareness – thoughts, feelings and behaviour patterns, emotional intelligence, self-compassion, self-acceptance, managing stress and emotional regulation, personal energy management, resilience, resourcefulness and confidence.My coaching philosophy comes from a genuine curiosity to understand, centred around belief that every individual has the potential to change and develop. I believe that coaching is a collaborative process where I work with clients to uncover their strengths, listen empathically, create a safe space for self-discovery, leading to an identification of areas for growth.I specialise in helping leaders to navigate complex organisational dynamics, improve their communication skills and develop their leadership style; I am particularly interested in supporting women to thrive in leadership positions. My approach in leadership and coaching is holistic and person centred. I am a trained Yoga teacher specialising in Somatic Yoga for Stress and Burnout and use integrated somatic approaches to support an embodied approach to self discovery, positive change and growth.
