What I Do
I work with professionals, leaders, and teams on the human side of performance — the conversations, habits, and relationships that make or break reputations and results.
Coaching & Advice for Professionals
I help professionals generate work in ways that feel authentic, are effective and that genuinely serve their clients.
Clarifying Value. Articulate what makes your work distinct and why it matters for clients.
Developing Habits. Conversations that make client interactions impactful and feel natural.
Building Reputation. Become known as a trusted advisor with a pipeline of work.
For Leaders who want to operate at their best
Leading is hard. I support leaders with the clarity, feedback, and thinking space they need to perform at their best
Clarity of Role. Get clear on what matters most and where to focus your energy.
Leadership Presence. Cultivate habits and skills that earn trust and that make conversations impactful.
Adapting to change. Inspire and empower others to work in new ways.
Team Performance & Cohesion
Many good teams fall into ways of working that no longer work. I help teams take stock and improve how they deliver.
Taking Stock. Clarify what clients/stakeholders most need, what's working and what needs to change.
Clarifying Direction. Commit to what you need to deliver and how you will get there.
Improving Performance. Develop the practices to deliver, support one another and continually learn and improve.
Results
A professional services firm wanted to scale business development beyond the main work-winners. The challenge: partners had deep technical skills but lacked confidence, consistency and impact in their business development activities. Some felt uncomfortable in approaching clients about work. I worked with Partners and Business Development team to provide tailored coaching for Partners - to generate clarity on their offering, a strategy that played to their strengths, and provide support and accountability to improve consistency, confidence and impact of client conversations.
A senior leadership team with some strong individual performers but low on collaboration and inconsistent in how they built staff capability.
They were focused more on their own clients and teams and were missing opportunities to provide their clients complimentary services and broaden the skills of their staff. There were moods of frustration and resignation.
Through interviews and team sessions over an 8 month period, I helped the team to raise issues and tensions, build alignment on purpose and client priorities, and to improve the quality of conversations within the leadership team – more honest, supportive and focused. There were ripple effects in engagement, trust and capability improvement across the whole division.

Insights

How to get your team to step up
Leadership
Michael, a professional advisor who was managing a team, said to me recently,"I just wish my team would step up." It's a common frustration. Leaders often feel they are carrying too much. They want their people to take more ownership, be more proactive and think beyond the task in front of them.
