coaching and development services – mapping the journey together

Introduction

Through international executive and leadership coaching, mentoring, supervision and organisational consultancy, I enable transformational learning, development and change for individuals, teams and organisations, helping them to deliver their desired outcomes and aspirations, to evolve and adapt, and to become more aware and agile, more resilient and innovative.

In the face of uncertainty and unpredictability, I offer high support and challenge to senior business leaders, future leaders and forward-thinking professionals, enabling them to navigate the current turmoil and their transitions, to think imaginatively and resourcefully, and to find the courage to experiment with new ways of seeing and meaning-making, behaving and engaging with stakeholders.

I am passionate about fostering adaptive global leadership, collaboration across diversity and systemic awareness; about empowering initiative and agency and cultivating a growth mindset; about challenging limiting beliefs and cultural assumptions; and about equipping others to make a positive contribution to our troubled world through their intelligence, creativity, personality and humanity.

How I work

My Structure & Flow approach embraces balance and paradox. It combines clear contracting, frameworks and commitment with flexibility, creativity, playful experimentation, joy and whatever’s emerging. It is adaptive, personalised and often deeply personal, drawing on psychological insight and humanistic principles.

I integrate various approaches, methods and disciplines, working in collaborative partnership with my clients based on mutual respect and recognition, and an egalitarian spirit. My systemic perspective creates value for multiple stakeholders beyond the individual through richer, more robust conversations and stronger relationships.

What I value

My own journey has taught me the value of safe spaces for learning, free expression, independent thinking and the generation of ideas. Openness and curiosity matter to me, as do encouragement and appreciation. Committed to my field for over three decades, I value ongoing professional and personal development, supervision, mentoring and ethical practice.

After careers in publishing and adult business education, I co-founded and ran a training and coaching company in Barcelona, later in Shanghai, for many years. Here in southern Germany, I enjoy walking in the local Alps and visiting the art galleries and theatres, as well as returning to my Heimat Yorkshire and other beautiful places in England.
