Why choose me?

There are lots of coaches around so why work with me?
Well, it is important that there is a good match between coach and client, or client organisation. If you’re interested in working with me, I offer a free initial meeting or consultation to see if there is a ‘good fit’. And something in my background, experience or working style may mean I can really add value to our work together. Please read on for my experience in the media, with career transitions, and with SMEs:

My aim as a coach is to help individuals create successful and fulfilling personal and professional lives by thoroughly engaging their unique talents, creativity and aspirations.

I am fully trained, accredited, supervised and insured in what is still a largely unregulated profession.

All my work is fully guaranteed — for full details see the relevant section (individuals, SMEs or organisations.)

I have particular experience and qualities that may make us a good match to work together:

  • Media and environment: I have more than 20 years experience in these sectors and can therefore coach you or your people with an understanding of your world — the pressures, challenges and values.
  • Career development and personal change: as someone who has made major changes in my own life, I understand the importance and challenges of value-based decisions. I have worked with many clients through career transitions or the process of living a more authentic life.
  • SMEs / Sole traders: I have been self-employed and run my own business for 10 years and understand the pressures, challenges and exhilarations of small businesses. I have coached many small-business owners for greater personal and professional success.
  • Style: My clients tell me that I have a friendly and respectful yet very powerful working style. I coach with a light touch, even around serious issues. I am particularly skilled at keeping track of complex issues, and finding clarity in confusion.

Please get in touch for an informal chat or free consultation if you would like to explore further whether coaching is for you, and I am the right person to work with.
