Personal refresh

Supportive, expert coaching to help you re-ignite your passion and thrive again.

It’s been said that without vision, people perish. Yet the pressures of work and the realities of life mean that leaders need to continually refresh their energy. I started studying motivation, stress and burnout 30 years ago, and have established local and national programmes to restore leaders’ energy. I have also experienced the pain and shame of falling into burnout myself. There IS hope, and I’d be delighted to talk about how I can help you thrive, not just survive.

I’ve worked with many leaders, managers and entrepreneurs who want a practical approach to getting back on track. I believe coaching should always be tailored to your specific needs and preferences, but my general framework in this kind of situation is:

  • Rediscover. Gain honest new insights into your unique set of drives and passions.
  • Refocus. Plan the changes needed to align with your ‘true north’ – not shying away from being courageous.
  • Rebuild. Be accountable for making change happen, measuring progress and adjusting plans as you go, to embed new routines that build momentum.

I am a qualified coach and have worked with clients all over the world from very diverse backgrounds. I provide bespoke coaching, tailored to your specific situation, needs and priorities.

I am experienced in using a wide range of tools and approaches to deepen understanding, develop plans and implement action. I have both used them as a leader and helped coaching clients to use them. I am certified to use the Strength Deployment Inventory and Myers-Briggs Type Inventory. I frequently use frameworks from Thomas-Killman, Clifton, Belbin and Goleman – but I also enjoy creating bespoke approaches for a particular client’s needs. Recently this has included bespoke 360 degree appraisals, tailored strategic planning driver diagrams and others.

I myself have have successfully recovered from burnout – so I really do know that positive change IS possible!
