Working with Organisations

As well as working directly with individuals, I work with charities and social purpose organisations to support the development and well-being of their people.

My professional background is in International Development and the charity sector where I’ve supported and led diverse teams and individuals at national and international levels. As a coach, I support clients to maximise professional and personal potential to benefit both the organisation and the individual.
