It is difficult to work out how to use your skills, experience and passions to make a difference in the world. I should know - during my career I have worked in massive organisations, like the BBC, and tiny ones. I have been a Chief Exec, a middle manager and done the coffee runs. I have worked as a grant maker and as a grant recipient. I have worked in business, in the public and in the charity sectors. Twenty years into my career I have worked out that I love nothing more than hearing people's stories and supporting them to achieve as much as they possibly can. I hope to meet you and to hear about what you are trying to achieve!

My approach is to coach only a small number of clients at any time. The rest of the time I am working for, and setting up social enterprises. I am empowering and empathetic; supportive but also willing to challenge. The majority, but by no means all, of my clients are amazing leaders working in, or aiming to work in, social enterprises or charities. I have worked with CEOs making seemingly impossible decisions; with social entrepreneurs struggling with burnout; with charities seeking to diversify their income; and with recent graduates planning their next steps, to name but a few.
