As the first brown female Officer in the Women’s Royal Naval Service, respected in elite technical leadership roles in a hierarchical male-dominated workplace, I am counted as a diversity and inclusion pioneer. RN insight, a 25 plus year career in people and culture, and through the eyes of my mixed race children, I share personal and generational insight and “life through a different lens”.

With over 25 years of executive coaching and leadership experience, as well as a published article on the benefits of coaching, I provide one-on-one supportive sessions which help clients to explore life and career goals. By exploring personal ambitions and possible barriers to success, I help my clients to navigate their options and inspire them to take action.

Having been a trustee for Seamab Children’s Charity, Chair for The Blue School, and Chair for Steanbow Farms Ltd. over the last decade, I continue to look for further non-executive roles. I create a collaborative and inclusive environment, ensuring all voices are heard, challenge is encouraged, conflicts are managed constructively, and decisions are well-informed to enable the most productive boardroom discussions and ensure good governance.

My goal is to empower leaders to become effective advocates for diversity and inclusion in their organisation and to foster a culture of mutual respect and collaboration. I provide bespoke development, training, and events, based on exploring client requirements to address specific business needs.

Certified by the British Psychometrics Society, I utilise the 15FQ+ personality test. I provide an in-depth assessment by analysing your results and giving personal feedback. This tool can be used for recruitment or development because it highlights key information such as leadership styles, thinking styles, team roles, career themes, personality traits, and strengths.

My mentoring sessions offer a life-changing opportunity for personal and professional growth. Whether you're a student, aspiring professional, or an executive director, I am here to support you on your journey. Through one-on-one sessions, I will provide personalised guidance, share valuable insights, and help you set and achieve meaningful goals.
