Executive Coach working with Leaders to achieve their potential. Also runs ILM Coaching Qualifications at Levels 3 and 5 and is a Coordinator of the Bristol & Bath branch of the EMCC.I have worked in Human Resources and Management Development for over 30 years. During this time I have developed a good understanding of the challenges that leaders face and have coached many leaders to find new ways forward with successful outcomes.My style varies from nurturing and supportive to challenging and directive, depending on the needs of the client and the situation. Integral to my approach is the coaching contract which includes confidentiality and boundaries.

I work in partnership with my business partner Lisa Hegan, to deliver HR consultancy and Leadership/Management Development solutions to a range of businesses. Our approach is to firstly gain an understanding of our client's needs and to develop effective interventions that really make a difference.

I taught the Certificate in Personnel Practice to students who attended afternoon and evening courses.

At Boots, I was initially recruited as an Area HR Manager to cover a large number of stores, providing HR advice and support to Area Managers and Store Managers. My role evolved into Area Talent Manager which meant that I could provide more focus on developing existing and future managers.

I worked as an HR Manager at the head office in Swindon where I was responsible for HR support to operational and head office divisions.
