Leadership Development for Growing Businesses

My primary focus is to work with business owners and leaders who are navigating the complexities of growth. Drawing on 30+ years of senior leadership experience across operations, finance, and strategic planning, I provide practical, straight-talking support tailored to your specific challenges.

Whether you're building your first management team, dealing with multi-generational leadership dynamics, or simply need an experienced sounding board as you scale, I help you develop the confidence and capabilities to lead effectively without burning out.

What 1-2-1 Coaching Brings:

• Confidential space to work through leadership challenges

• Practical frameworks and tools you can implement immediately

• Data-driven insights through Harrison Assessments

• Accountability to help you follow through on key decisions

• Strategic perspective on people, operations, and growth

I believe people really are your greatest asset — but only when you understand what actually motivates them and create an environment where they can work according to their natural preferences. This isn't soft skills; it's strategic business advantage.

 Understanding First

I typically start with Harrison Assessments to understand your natural working preferences, motivations, and potential blind spots. This gives us a foundation for meaningful development that works with your strengths, not against them.

Practical Implementation

Every session focuses on real challenges you're facing right now. We work on practical solutions you can implement immediately, not theoretical frameworks that sit on a shelf.

Building Independence

My goal is to develop your internal capability, not create dependency. Most clients work with me for 6-12 months, by which time they've built the skills and confidence to continue independently.

While my primary focus is one-to-one coaching, I also provide targeted support when leadership teams need external facilitation or when emerging managers need development.

This includes:

• Leadership team workshops and away days

• Strategic planning facilitation

• Management development programmes

• Team dynamics analysis using Harrison Assessments

• Specific interventions around communication or conflict

These are typically shorter-term engagements designed to complement ongoing leadership development or address specific challenges as they arise.
