“Partnering with clients in a thought provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximise their personal and professional potential”.
I was a partner at a professional services firm for more than 22 years. During that time, I built my personal brand and profile in the market, led and grew part of the business (both in the UK and internationally), sat on a governance board and a culture board, and was ultimately part of their leadership team.
I loved my role – but to say I was busy would be an understatement! While I am proud of what we achieved as a team and for the business, there were a lot of challenges along the way, including a couple of (what I like to call) ‘wellbeing interventions’.
The lightbulb moments that permeated my time at the firm helped to shape my own development. Now, I combine my own learnings from the last three decades with tried-and-tested coaching tools and frameworks to guide business leaders like you into their next chapter with greater self-awareness and focus.
From creating tailored coaching programmes focused on professional development to guiding individuals and organisations on how to improve strategies, processes, and policies, I can bring value to you and your organisation in a variety of ways.
Over the course of six sessions, I will partner with you to work on your leadership journey.
Group sessions interspersed with one-on-one coaching ensure these programmes benefit both new and more experienced partners.
My strengths lie in partner engagement, partner development, and succession planning.
Wendy has been working with me in a coaching/mentoring capacity over the last 12 months. The sessions with Wendy have allowed me to explore my objectives, goal setting and challenges in a constructive, structured and positive way which has been hugely valuable.
If there is one thing that the last 30 years have taught me, it’s that consistency is at the core of every success story. With this in mind, I developed a framework that helps my clients to strategically plan their career journey.
Every one of my coaching sessions is underpinned by the principles of FEEL: Focus, Excel, Energise, LeadTM. It is simple, but effective. Click the link below to learn more.
During my time at BDO, I interviewed hundreds of potential partners. We always gave them the opportunity to ask questions at the end of the interview and one of the most often asked questions was “what advice would you give to a new partner?”.
Balance and coaching - a shifting mindset. In this article I explore how my attitude to both finding balance and coaching has shifted since I “lost my bubbles” in 2003. Moreover, I consider how a business coach can work with a client to find work life balance.
This article was published on the BDO intranet after I lost my dad to Covid-19 and talks about some of the things I learnt during that experience, as well as the support I received.
