As a leadership coach, I’m committed to working with clients to deepen their awareness of identity and purpose and to facilitate the development of the skills needed to meet the demands of leadership in the modern-day business world. Importantly, the general view of what constitutes good leadership has broadened and deepened not just to include human skills and personal development, but an acceptance that emotional intelligence and psychological awareness are critical as well. Increasingly, leadership and leadership development are seen as inherently collaborative, social, and relational processes which require self awareness and values that will ensure sustainability, transparency and honesty.Considering this, through my work as a coach, my aim is to support and challenge leaders to be more authentic, engaged, resilient, and to develop the human qualities necessary to address the evolving needs of individuals, workforces, and societies in the 21st Century. My former employer (GSK) identified coaching as a key development activity in attaining its strategic business objectives and leadership differentiation, and supported me to develop my skills as a coach. I am an accredited coach (ICF and EMCC) with over twelve years’ experience of coaching clients based in the UK, Europe, America and China providing a diverse set of cultures to inform my coaching development. I have also completed (2017) a Post Graduate Certificate in Psychosynthesis Leadership Coaching - enhancing my ability to work psychologically as a coach at a deeper level of awareness of human behaviour and organisational systems.Industrial Career- I have over 30 years professional experience within the pharmaceutical industry with extensive experience of the leadership of people at a departmental/divisional level and have lead significant technology change projects with large multi-functional teams globally. My own leadership transitions from leading self, leading through others, and leading teams of leaders in a complex environment, provide a significant resource from which to understand the commercial and personal pressures that clients are under and provide context for more meaningful coaching conversations.
