What I do
I work with organisations across Manchester and the UK to support people and teams to think clearly, have better conversations and move things forward.
That might be through leadership coaching, facilitating team sessions and away days, running focus groups, or delivering practical workshops.
The focus is always the same. Keep things straightforward and make sure the work leads to something useful.
Leadership coaching
I provide leadership coaching for managers and senior leaders who want to step back, think clearly and handle the challenges of their role with more confidence.
People often come to coaching when:
They’re stepping into a new role
They’re managing a team and feeling stretched
They need to handle difficult conversations
They want to feel more confident in their decisions
Coaching creates space to think, reflect and work through real situations.
It’s practical, focused and tailored to what you’re dealing with day to day.
Team facilitation and away days
I design and facilitate team sessions and away days that lead to clear decisions and action.
This is useful when:
A team needs to reset or realign
There’s been change or uncertainty
You want to improve how the team works together
You need time to step back and plan
Sessions are structured so they don’t drift.
You leave with agreed priorities, clear actions and ownership of next steps.
Focus groups and insight sessions
I design and run focus groups and one-to-one conversations to help organisations understand people’s experiences more clearly.
This is particularly useful when:
You want honest feedback on culture or ways of working
There are sensitive topics that need careful handling
You need an independent voice to gather insight
You want to understand themes across a group
I create a space where people feel comfortable to speak openly, and I draw out clear themes and practical insights that can be acted on.
This work is often used to inform decisions, shape future plans or support wider organisational change.
Workshops and training
I deliver practical workshops on topics that affect how people work day to day.
This includes:
Communication at work
Running effective meetings
Accessible writing and documents
Personal effectiveness
These sessions are grounded in real situations, not theory, and give people something they can use straight away.
How the work fits together
These areas often overlap.
For example:
A coaching conversation might highlight the need for a team session
A facilitation session might lead to follow-up coaching
A focus group might highlight themes that lead to workshops or action planning
A workshop might support wider changes in how a team works
The approach is flexible and shaped around what will be most useful.
Who I work with
Most of my work is with:
Universities
Public sector organisations
Leadership teams
Managers navigating change
I understand the realities of these environments and how to keep things practical.
Common question
Do you only work in Manchester?
No, I work across the UK and can deliver sessions in person or online.
How long are sessions?
Coaching sessions are usually around an hour. Team sessions and focus groups are typically between 90 minutes and a half day, depending on what you need.
Can you tailor sessions to our organisation?
Yes. Everything is shaped around your context and what you need to achieve.
Do you offer one-off sessions or ongoing support?
Both. Some clients want a single piece of work, others want ongoing support over time.
