ABOUT ME
Most leaders I work with are capable, conscientious, and deeply committed to doing a good job. They care about their people, their standards, and the impact of their decisions.
What often goes unnoticed is when responsibility quietly turns into self-sacrifice, and leading well starts to cost far more than it should.
I’ve spent decades working with leaders across roles, organisations, and cultures. The pattern is remarkably consistent. The leaders who care the most are often the ones carrying the most, absorbing the most, and normalising levels of pressure that were never meant to be normal.
My work is calm, direct, and practical.
I don’t coach people to tolerate unsustainable roles, push through at all costs, or mistake endurance for strength. I do help leaders think clearly again, untangle responsibility from over-responsibility, and lead with confidence without burning themselves out in the process.
This work is for leaders who are ready to be honest about the cost of how they’re working and willing to change how they lead, not just cope better.
If you want to lead well without losing yourself along the way, we should talk.
Work With Me
I work with capable leaders who are trusted, responsible, and often carrying more than is sustainable.
If you want to lead well without sacrificing your energy, clarity, or sense of self in the process, this work is designed for you.
Who this work is for
This is for leaders who are:
-
experienced and capable
-
relied on by others
-
tired of holding everything together
-
ready to change how they lead, not just cope better
What we work on
In our work together, we focus on:
-
restoring clarity when everything feels noisy
-
separating responsibility from over-responsibility
-
making strong decisions without carrying unnecessary emotional weight
-
leading with confidence that doesn’t depend on self-sacrifice
What it’s like to work with me
My approach is calm, direct, and practical. I’ll ask thoughtful questions, challenge unhelpful patterns, and support you in making changes that actually stick.
There’s no performance theatre here, and no pressure to become someone you’re not.
How it starts
Most clients begin with a Leadership Conversation. This gives us both the chance to explore what’s going on for you, what you want to change, and whether working together feels like the right next step.
If it’s a fit, we’ll decide together what support would be most useful.
A quick note on fit
This work isn’t about quick fixes, motivational hype, or pushing through at all costs.
If you’re looking for someone to help you tolerate an unsustainable situation without changing it, I won’t be the right coach for you.
