My Journey
My Experience
I have 15+ years experience within commercial finance in large corporates, predominantly within FMCG, across the UK and Australia. I have been fortunate to have, not only, worked for some of my favourite food and drink brands during that time, but also to have learned from some incredible business mentors along the way.
I have mentored and trained individuals cross functionally, and have also managed, coached and developed direct reports.
The Corporate space is fast paced and high performing, and there is a constant focus on delivering to very high standards. I have a strong understanding of organisational goals and the importance of providing individuals with the tools needed to excel (such as self-awareness, resilience, inner-confidence, effective communicating, influencing and leadership).
I trained as a transformative coach in 2022, and qualified with Animas Centre for Coaching in Feb 2023, one of the leading coaching schools in the UK. I have since completed a Certificate in Executive and Corporate Coaching, also with Animas.
My Personal Journey
To clarify any myths that coaches have it all together.. My life hasn't been a perfect straight line - whose has?!
I grew up in the south of the UK and moved to France at a young age.
I struggled to find my place, my people, and who I was, and in many ways those feelings have followed me ever since, but they have also provided me with a clear motivation to support others in finding their direction.
Relocations, career shifts, juggling work life alongside being a parent, studying while working/parenting, setting up a business have all formed part of my life so far.
I have also experienced a very loud inner critic for years, as well as imposter syndrome, and self-doubt. It is commonplace to want to wear a mask or armour to protect ourselves from others seeing the parts of us that we don’t value. And, as a result, so often we feel isolated in our inner challenges.
I have always seen the highest potential in people, and truly believe that we are all able to find direction and fulfilment in life.
Sometimes we all just need a little help along the way. One of my biggest motivators is helping people to find their way forward, in a kind, empathic and collaborative way.
What others have said
The sessions were like light-bulb moments and the sudden realization that I could make changes, with the possibility of bringing some of the ideas that I have whirring around in my head to reality.
