COACHING / LEADERSHIP & PROFESSIONAL CHANGE
I offer reflective coaching for people making difficult professional decisions, leading through uncertainty, or finding their next direction.
WAYS TO WORK TOGETHER
These are suggested formats. The focus, pace, and number of conversations are agreed with you.
ONE FOCUSED SESSION
You have a consequential choice in front of you and keep circling the same arguments.
One focused conversation to surface assumptions, competing commitments, and the people or systems involved.
A clearer account of the decision and the next step you can take.
For a career decision, a difficult conversation, or a leadership dilemma.
Ask about this optionFOUR-SESSION SERIES
You are responsible for people and outcomes, but the formal role tells only part of the story.
A short series of conversations on authority, relationships, conflict, values, and the culture around your work.
Space to test your thinking and develop a more deliberate way of leading.
For emerging and experienced leaders, especially in public service and complex organisations.
Ask about this optionTHREE-SESSION SERIES
You are leaving a role, changing sector, returning after disruption, or reconsidering what work should mean to you.
A sequence of reflective sessions that connects your experience, priorities, constraints, and possible routes forward.
A grounded direction and practical next moves that belong to you.
For professional transitions that are about identity as well as a new job title.
Ask about this optionSTARTING COACHING
You bring the question.
We examine what is happening, where you have room to act, and what you want to do next.
A short email is enough: the decision, transition, or leadership challenge you want to explore.
We talk about what useful progress would look like and whether a single session or a series fits.
Sessions make room for your thinking, your relationships, and the institutional pressures shaping the situation.
LET’S TALK
Tell me the context and what you hope to achieve. We can discuss a sensible scope, timetable, and fee before anything is agreed.
