My coaching experience began whilst a senior partner at EY where I led complex strategy projects and built and managed high-performing teams. My guiding principle was, and remains, to nurture and inspire ambitious professionals to grow and gain greater self-awareness, confidence, and collaborative skills.  During my 30 years career in the professional services sector, I worked primarily with the C-suite. The focus of my work was the development, implementation, and monitoring of strategies. 

I know first-hand the challenges that come with working in a highly competitive environment and dealing with long working hours and stress - all the while trying to remain authentic to yourself.

​

For many years, I worried constantly about ‘not being good enough’, ‘not letting people down’, ‘pleasing’ (and hence being liked by) every member of my team, as well as my hierarchy and my peers.  My insecurities led me to over-perform and brought me financial rewards and social recognition. Yet I knew my mind, heart and gut were misaligned. I did not feel happy, and I forgot who I was and what mattered to me.
