Different Facets
Beautiful Whole
After a teambuilding exercise with a corporate client, one of the participants came up to me and said, “You’re like a mall. You have something for everybody.” I had to laugh at that. When pressed to describe my offerings succinctly I say that I am a Leadership Coach, Thinking Partner and Narcissism Sensemaker, and though they span a wide range of areas of expertise, they are connected. As humans we don’t just evolve in one area – it is an all-encompassing process.
The different facets of who you are work together to make a beautiful WHOLE.

Leadership Coach
Leadership is about influencing and impacting for the better. Leadership on the outside begins within.
Thinking Partner
Deepening your presence to bring your finest thinking to the fore in the pursuit of lasting, high-quality outcomes.
Narcissism Sensemaker
We are relational beings. Positivity in relationships is contagious. So is toxicity. Identify Narcissism at work or at home.
Transformation - aligning
with your true self
What are the pivotal points on the journey to transformation? For the occasional few this revolution happens in a flash – one decisive moment, a sharp realisation, and they are never the same. But for most of us it is a process.
We begin with small deliberate shifts which together invite lasting change… through this momentum we find that we are growing, and continued growth puts us on the trajectory towards transformation, the alignment with our true self. This process is what coaching encompasses and supports.
As a coach I meet you where you are, and as the client – you decide where the expedition ends.

So tell me, where would
you like to go next?
Do you need clarity? Are you struggling to separate true signals from the noise? Are you longing to create meaningful work? Or to become future-ready in your leadership role? It might be that you’d love to develop the thinking-space to come up with innovative solutions. Or perhaps the space you want to explore is internal, to know yourself more deeply.
Whatever it is – and it could be anything – this is what I know: if you are reading this you are ready for disruption. For the tables to turn. You want to move forward, or upwards… or at least grow substantially. Few things are more difficult than moving through resistance and becoming unstuck from our stories. But doing more of the same only leads to more of the same.
So let’s bridge the gap between where you are and where you want to be.
In our work together we will navigate the questions, the demands, the expectations, and the goals – and everything else that makes up the never-ending labyrinth of our minds. You will learn where to apply your attention with intention. If you find that a few small shifts are all you need – great! If you want to go deeper still, I am here to journey with you.
