About Me
Leadership Consultant
I’m an international Leadership Coach and Trainer, working with women (mostly!) at work to help them to be confident, compassionate and innovative leaders.
The clients I work with are compassionate, caring and empathetic people and this makes them exceptional leaders. The organisations I work with know their staff are essential to their reputation and success and so they value them greatly. We’re born into a world which sees feelings and emotions as weak. The world is changing and I’m empowering women in business to lead the way.

- I’m a mama to Griff and a wife to Ross.
- I am a huge animal lover and share my life with dogs, cats and ducks.

- In my spare time I practice yoga, drink gin and eat cake with friends.
- I’ve travelled (a lot!) and my favourite food is Thai.
- I’m an extrovert (but you don’t need to be to be confident) and my Myers Briggs personality is ENFP.
- I’m the only person I know to be both a qualified beauty therapist and teacher of bushcraft!
- My social enterprise supported hundreds of women across Yorkshire using nature as therapeutic intervention for poor mental health and I set up Yorkshire’s first barefoot walking group!
