Leadership development for modern, diverse organisations
Art‑informed, somatic, and inclusive coaching that supports senior leaders and teams to lead with clarity, connection, and confidence.
I help leaders and teams navigate complexity with clarity, confidence, and compassion.
My work blends somatic practice, creative inquiry, and evidence‑based leadership development to support meaningful, sustainable change.
I partner with organisations committed to equity, psychological safety, and progressive leadership cultures, creating space for people to think deeply, feel fully, and lead with intention.
My Approach: The Three Pillars
My approach draws on practices from somatics, creative inquiry, and reflective methodologies to help leaders navigate complexity with clarity and presence. These three pillars don’t operate as steps but as interdependent practices that shift in emphasis depending on the context and the people involved.
Each pillar is applied differently depending on the context, the people in the room, and the challenges being navigated. Rather than a fixed sequence or formula, these practices interact dynamically sometimes one leads, sometimes another becomes the anchor, and often they overlap. This approach recognises the complexity of modern organisations and allows the work to meet leaders where they are, while still holding a coherent, values‑driven framework.
Somatic Awareness
Developing the capacity to notice what the body communicates, tension, intuition, energy, and emotional cues so leaders can respond with presence rather than habit. This pillar shifts in emphasis depending on the moment, offering grounding or insight as the system requires.
Creative Inquiry
Using imagination, experimentation, and reflective questioning to surface new possibilities. This pillar is directly informed by artistic process improvisation, play, composition, and reframing enabling leaders to explore complexity in ways that linear problem‑solving alone cannot reach.
Inclusive Leadership
Using practices that centre equity, psychological safety, and representation. This pillar flexes with organisational realities, sometimes focusing on voice and participation, sometimes on power dynamics, sometimes on structural barriers. It ensures the work honours the lived experience of everyone involved.
