With experience across government and high-growth business, as a leader, adviser, consultant and coach I’ve led through complexity and significant change, worked alongside senior leaders and founders, and experienced first-hand the challenges that come with growing an organisation while keeping people, purpose and performance in balance.

That experience shapes how I coach. I help you create space to think differently, see what may be getting in the way, make clearer choices and act on what matters.

People who work with me are committed to leading, learning and building organisations where their people thrive and their products and services bring about positive change.

For organisations

How coaching adds value to your organisation

Organisations can only grow according to the pace at which they learn.

I work with leaders in building people leadership to enhance growth and success with a focus on:

  • Individual and team leadership
  • Building the relationships and cultures we want
  • Clarity in decision-making
  • Relationships
  • Organisational systems
  • Navigating uncertainty and complexity

About Helen

My professional experience spans 7 countries and 3 continents and includes education, government, universities and growing technology businesses.

  • ICF approved training in Switzerland, Finland and Denmark
  • Leadership workshops for clients including Danske Bank, high growth start-ups, government and education
  • Coaching, consulting and advisory support for leaders in government and businesses including EdTech, Pharmaceutical Licensing and data optimisation

My work is informed by a deep interest in how language, assumptions, relationships, moods and organisational practices shape what people believe is possible and the success they deliver.
