About me

Leadership Coach | Impostor Phenomenon Specialist | Positive Psychology Practitioner | Senior Practitioner EMCC


Do you feel like you’re faking it and going to be caught out?

Despite your accomplishments, do you secretly worry about being exposed as a fraud?

I specialise in helping executives quieten their inner critic and deal with pervasive self-doubt.

What you may be experiencing:

  • Self-doubt despite positive feedback and objective success.
  • Not feeling worthy of your accomplishments and role.
  • Minimising your expertise and downplaying your role.
  • Doubting that you are as good as others or simply, “just not good enough”.
  • Persistent fear of failure or of not living up to expectations.
  • Reluctance to seek promotions or stretch opportunities.
  • Challenges with overthinking and negative self-talk.
  • A low-level feeling that is impacting your work and home life.

Through my coaching programmes, we work together to help you:

  • Manage the thoughts that accompany impostor feelings
  • Deal with the inner critic
  • Build up resilience skills and strengths
  • Develop confidence in your abilities  
  • Be more comfortable in who you are 
  • Have the confidence to pursue stretch opportunities and step into new roles

For companies investing leaders:

Impostor feelings can hold back even your highest-potential leaders. It’s often a reason for highly talented people to avoid career progression. You may even see behaviours such as micro-management, perfectionism, and over-work potentially leading to burnout. 

What you can expect:

I provide specialised coaching to help leaders and executives identify where they are holding themselves back, set goals for development, and support them to move towards leading with confidence.

I take an individualised approach, adapting tools and techniques to each client's unique needs and goals. My methods are grounded in: 

- Coaching psychology principles and evidence-based frameworks 

- Original research into the thoughts/behaviours of high achievers 

- Experience helping leaders overcome impostor thoughts 

Together, we'll co-create a customised path to build your authentic confidence and leadership presence.

What next:

Message me to arrange an initial consultation, where we can explore how my coaching can help you start showing up with more confidence and authority.

“Provides quality time and headspace.”

“Marguerite has that rare gift of being able to lead you to conclusions from within, an experience which left me feeling confident and empowered.”

"Challenged me to achieve more."
