These case studies demonstrate how I partner with senior leaders and their teams to strengthen leadership effectiveness, decision-making, culture, and psychological safety — so strategy
lands, trust grows, and performance holds.
Each case study is designed to be immediately useful: the context, the human system at play, the practical mechanisms introduced, what shifted in day-to-day leadership, and the
outcomes that followed.
Leadership Team Effectiveness
A fast-growing consulting firm had strong delivery — and a leadership system that was starting to strain under complexity. We surfaced the patterns, strengthened challenge and decision discipline, and embedded a cadence that improved alignment, accountability, and culture risk management without breaking what already worked.
Leadership Team Effectiveness
A high-scrutiny senior team was operating under uncertainty, competing demands, and early signs of drift. We created a safe container for truth, reset operating agreements, and installed simple disciplines for visibility, prioritisation, and decision traction — so coherence replaced quiet coping.
Executive & Board Coaching and Advisory
A senior technical leader rebuilt confidence after a destabilising period — shifting from threat-scanning and second-guessing to steady judgement, respectful assertion, and clearer boundaries. The ripple effects showed up in executive dynamics, decision-making, and relationships at work and home.
Executive & Board Coaching and Advisory
A global executive faced difficult 360 feedback that didn’t match their intention to be inclusive and trusted. Through practical, observable behaviour shifts — and stakeholder alignment — they closed the intent–impact gap and restored credibility, team trust, and measurable outcomes.
Culture and Psychological Safety
A values-led organisation wanted anti-racism commitments to translate into consistent leadership behaviour and systemic outcomes. By working at the level of leadership norms, governance, accountability, and psychological safety, inclusion became more than intent — it became part of how decisions were taken and outcomes sustained.
Culture and Psychological Safety
A prestigious private bank treated culture and psychological safety as governance-quality signals — not internal “soft” work. We diagnosed the system (decision pathways, incentives, accountability, and truth flow), aligned governance with strategic intent, and supported leaders to create cleaner challenge, clearer accountability, and stronger trust across levels.
I work with FTSE 100 and Fortune 500 companies, public sector organisations, third sector, and central and local government. My clients range from individual executives seeking coaching to entire leadership teams and organisations pursuing culture and psychological safety transformation.
Engagements are tailored to your goals, but most leadership team and culture programmes run over several months to allow for meaningful behavioural and systemic change. Executive coaching containers typically span three to twelve months so we can move beyond insight into embedded, sustainable shifts in how you lead and make decisions.
My work sits at the intersection of leadership effectiveness, culture, and psychological safety, so we focus on the human systems that determine performance rather than isolated workshops or one-off interventions. I blend behavioural science, inclusive leadership expertise and deep, compassionate challenge to create safe but stretching spaces where senior leaders and teams can do the real work—naming what’s unsaid, shifting mindsets, and turning insight into practical ways of working under pressure.
Yes, I offer both virtual and in-person coaching and facilitation for individuals, leadership teams, and organisations. Many clients choose a blend of online and in-room sessions to balance depth of connection with flexibility for global and geographically dispersed teams.
You’re likely ready if you know that something in your leadership, team dynamics, or culture needs to shift and you’re prepared to be honest, do the inner work, and take action between sessions. My best-fit clients are senior leaders and teams who want a trusted thought partner to help them align who they are with how they lead, strengthen the human system behind performance, and create cultures where people genuinely thrive.
Whether you’re seeking to strengthen leadership team effectiveness, build psychological safety, or align culture with strategy — I partner with senior leadership teams to create the conditions where strategy is delivered effectively and difference drives sustained competitive value.
