About me
I’m a Leadership Consultant based in Cardiff, UK.
For over 20 years I have helped leaders develop and thrive, and have witnessed the positive impact their success has on individuals, organisations and communities.
I help my clients reflect, focus and then act on the real and challenging issues that are holding back their progress.
Having been part of the coaching and training sector all my working life, I’m deeply committed to learning as a tool for transformational change.
The leaders that I choose to work with are not afraid of change. They are willing to lead by example and are kind and respectful. They focus on achieving positive results for the greater good not just the few, and lean towards a transformational and connective style of leadership. These are the leaders that cause positive societal changes, and I am proud to work with them.
How I work with my clients
