Executive Coaching: Elevate Your Leadership Skills

Welcome

I'm Maureen, and for over 20 years, I’ve held senior management and director roles. With an MBA, a Professional Certificate in Executive Coaching, and ICF accreditation, I provide results-based coaching that is practical, supportive, and tailored to you.

My executive and career coaching services focus on helping you achieve change with the structure, challenge, and support needed to achieve your goals.

Clients often describe feeling: clear on what they want and how to get there; calmer and more confident in high-stakes meetings and interviews; credible and visible with senior stakeholders; and re-energised about their career path.

Whether you’re preparing for a senior interview, stepping into a leadership role, accelerating your performance, or repositioning your career, you'll receive a high-quality, personalised coaching programme.

If you’re looking to make a stronger impact, develop your leadership skills, to expand your breadth with a board position, now is the perfect time to start the conversation. Refresh your motivation and leadership style in a confidential setting.

'At the end of the programme, I was delighted to achieve a significant internal promotion into the C-Suite that had seemed out of reach. Coaching brought out my capabilities, and I began believing in myself.'

Working across all sectors, from Finance and IT to Marketing and PM. Retail and Operations, I ensure you are well-positioned and have the language of leadership.

When managers and leaders are under pressure, decision-making is rushed, and they feel overwhelmed. Coaching is a way of framing the completeness of personal and professional lives to identify what matters and what does not, thereby reducing anxiety and gaining focus. Instead of heading to burnout, people can and have turned around their careers to feel more in control, to lead with vision, and to handle uncertainty with more ease. Results matter, and whether it's the Return on Investment of Coaching or demonstrating better results at work, we identify what you need and commit to getting you there.

The difference between executive coaching and career coaching is in the focus of the sessions. In executive coaching, we are exploring thinking patterns and problem-solving approaches tied to our current position and goals, but with career coaching, we are specifically focused on where you see yourself next and positioning yourself for that role, organisation of life change. For instance, if you are looking to make a career change after 40 or 50, we will harness your experience and reputation to help you transition to a new role.

''The impact was real, I secured a promotion and continued coaching afterwards to better handle workplace conflict with confidence.''
