About the founder

I spent years in the seat you're in now

I didn't come into leadership with a blueprint.

I was thrust into leadership roles early in my career with no real direction or support, and I had to figure it out as I went. Mentors helped me tremendously along the way, but the real turning point was realising that I already had the answers inside me. I just needed someone to help tease them out.

Once I started coming up with my own answers, rather than borrowing someone else's, it became so much easier to actually own my leadership journey. That's the coach I set out to become.

Now, through Shift and Soar, I coach leaders at every stage through that same transition: the ones navigating their first direct reports, their first hard conversations, their first “wait, is this actually my job now?” moment, right through to those stepping into senior and executive roles for the first time. Backed by my own leadership experience and a Level 5 Coaching Professional Qualification, I don't hand people a script, I help them find their own answers, because that's what actually sticks.

I work with individuals 1:1 and with businesses and teams, helping people move from uncertainty to clarity, and from just getting through the day to genuinely thriving in their role. Whether you're stepping into leadership for the first time or taking on a bigger, more senior role, I'm here to help you shift what's not working, and soar into what's next.

Whether you're leading people for the first time, or leading leaders for the first time, the challenge is the same: the work that got you here isn't the work that gets you through what's next.
