This time of year always feels busy, with so much going on, and yet it’s also a season when there’s less daylight time, and colder months are starting here in the Northern Hemisphere. Whether at work, in leadership practice or in relation to personal goals I often have conversations with my coaching clients about wanting to accomplish more whilst feeling that there is less energy. One of the tools I find really helpful to think…
Over the past year I have deepened my executive coaching practice to include walk’n’coach sessions. In order to give clients a taste of how this practice could work I’ve created an online resource, which is free to try. What is it? The idea for this format comes from my own experience of having wonderful reflective conversations with my then mentor Margaret as we walked our way through parks discussing strategy and solving the knotty problems…
This year I got back into running, and regular readers will know that this comeback has been years in the making. I started blogging about it in 2022.. and in 2023. So I am pleased to report that I have finally managed to get there! From a personal perspective starting the day with a morning run is a joy for me, and the photo at the start of this post is a snap shot from…

Time to celebrate…! As this is the final week of the course, it’s time to celebrate. It’s been…
I often get asked about my own experience of having a coach by my coaching clients, especially as in the UK coaching is still a (largely unregulated and) relatively new profession. A lot of my coach training and credentialing process was designed to enhance the professionalism of coaching as a practice with lots of different applications, and I love hearing about what the contexts in which other coaches work: from health, fitness and nutrition coaching…
This month I am celebrating a big milestone moment on my coaching journey. After two years of training and 100+ hours of coaching with over 20 clients I am set to formally complete the ACC credential of the International Coaching Federation (ICF). Thanks to Katie Linder’s Higher Ed Coach Training, I have now completed all mandatory training to become an ICF Associate Certified Coach. Completing the training and gaining the requisite experience in formal coaching hours means…
This week I am kicking off blogging with a BIG thank you to all my coaching clients and fellow coaches for an amazing year! I am really proud to have completed all components of my first milestone credential as a professional coach – thanks to Katie Linder’s inspiring training programme and all the coaches I have met and connected with through this supportive network over the past two years. As I wait to complete the…
Over the past twelve years, as I was running a national charity and dealing with the day to day challenges of everything from finance to staff management, coaching offered me an essential toolkit for coping with the demands of a busy schedule. Coaching helped me as a CEO make the time to think through specific challenges, offered accountability to keep me on track even when things got overwhelming and a safe space to talk and…
