Supporting higher education leaders to lead through complexity and still put people first

Leading in universities today is demanding - the pace of change, the competing priorities, the weight of responsibility. It’s easy to feel pulled in every direction at once.

That’s why the way I work is deliberately people-centred. Because real transformation doesn’t come from plans or spreadsheets - it comes from people. Change is felt before it’s understood, and if you ignore the people side, change will fail. I believe leaders deserve spaces where they can pause, think, and breathe where the human side of change is acknowledged, and where honest reflection is paired with practical action.

Whether you’re looking for one-to-one coaching and mentoring, support for your leadership team, or a rapid reset for a specific challenge, my services are designed to help you lead with steadiness and care, balance pace and pressure with empathy and integrity - even when the environment around you feels overwhelming.

Signature Service Offerings

🧭

One-to-One Coaching & Mentoring

This is your space to step back from the noise - the people pressures, the politics, the constant pace - and regain perspective. Together, we’ll work through the CALM leadership pathway that supports sustainable, effective leadership:

💎

Group Coaching for Change Leaders & Managers

Your leaders and managers are often expected to keep people motivated and BAU moving all while navigating change themselves. Group coaching creates a supportive, practical space where they can share experiences, build skill and lead their teams with greater confidence, steadiness and care.

🔱

Practical Workshops & Masterclasses

Every organisation is different, but the challenges of leading change are often shared. I design tailored workshops that help teams make sense of what change means for them - building shared understanding, strengthening capability and focusing on the everyday practices that make change stick - grounded in what works in higher education.

In this one-off session we’ll cut through the noise, explore fresh options, untangle your thoughts and create a clear way forward with a shift in a direction that matters, so you can move ahead with conviction, fast.

Speaker & Podcast Contributor

If you’re looking for a straight-talking, experienced voice on what it really takes to lead through complexity, I’d love to be part of the conversation. I regularly share insights with leadership teams, at sector events and on podcasts - bringing both honesty and practical takeaways.

📝

DiSC Profiling & Debrief

Understanding yourself - and how you connect with others - is at the heart of effective leadership. A DiSC assessment with a guided debrief gives you that insight, helping you build stronger relationships, influence with impact, and lead with greater confidence. You can take this as a standalone or weave it into your coaching journey.
