Life is hard but we can all ease our suffering with a bit of guidance. Are you feeling stuck at work or in life? Do you wish for better relationships or to live the life you dream of? Are you facing one of life's major transitions such as a new job, redundancy or retirement? All of these challenges create stress and suffering but there are ways to manoeuvre through these moments with calm and poise. Having worked through my my own growth journey decades ago, I discovered that my purpose was to help others. I feel that it is now my turn to support others and guide people like you to live the life you choose. I believe my training and background in psychology, neuroscience and leadership maturity offers a distinctive experience to people so they can find ways to soothe their suffering and discover their own path in life. We are all individual beings with our own unique blend of experiences, influences and cultures but I firmly believe that everyone can find their way to fulfilment with a little bit of guidance. To give you some background, I have almost 25 years' experience setting up, partnering and leading teams across Europe and Asia in both industrial corporates and early-stage companies, I am passionate about what makes people succeed and grow. I began my career as a mechanical engineer at Ford Motor Company after completing my degree at Oxford University and I quickly saw that all leaders are not the same. I was motivated to become one of the people-focused leaders and so I left after 6 years to complete my MBA at London Business School and explore what leadership meant. This started my journey of exploring what makes people tick and, most importantly, how to help others, including myself, live a healthier and happier life. We don't have to stay stuck in automatic mode and watch life pass us by helplessly and nor do we have to let uncertainty and complexity overwhelm us. With self-reflection, evidence-based techniques and exercises, you too can learn to embrace change as an ally rather than a threat. We all deserve to live our best life and none of us can do it alone.

I am an ICF Professional Certified Coach (PCC) and leadership development specialist with over 20 years of experience supporting executives, managers, and aspiring leaders across sectors including law, banking, higher education, and recruitment. My career spans business consulting, organisational change, leadership coaching, and programme design, with a consistent focus on unlocking mindset shifts, building skills, and helping individuals thrive in complex environments. I began my career at Baker Tilly, later RSM, where I spent 14 years as a Business Solutions Consultant. In that role, I partnered with senior leaders to design and implement firm-wide and department-specific solutions, focusing on technology, skill development, and change management. I became adept at delivering workshops that combined systems training with behavioural and interpersonal development, often in challenging contexts such as restructures, redundancies, and strategic change. In 2016, I joined Sport and Beyond as Company Director, where I designed and delivered leadership programmes for both athletes and business leaders. It was during this time that I built a lasting client relationship with a legal recruitment company, a partnership that continued when I launched my own business, Kinetic People Development, in 2019. I continue to provide bi-monthly coaching for this client, delivering one-to-one and group sessions, assessments, and managing a wider team of coaches. Since founding Kinetic People Development, I have worked with clients ranging from international banks and law firms to universities and recruitment companies. My coaching consistently delivers measurable outcomes: 84% of my clients achieve a promotion or implement a significant strategic change within 12 months. I combine one-to-one coaching, group facilitation, and psychometric assessments to support leaders at every stage, focusing particularly on mindset and behaviour change. My programme design and facilitation experience is extensive. Notable examples include the Sentinel Programme at Leeds University, where I worked with international scientists and PhD students across Europe to build leadership capacity through online group sessions, one-to-one coaching, and assessments. I also designed an Aspiring Leaders Programme, a six-topic blended pathway for new managers delivered both in-person and virtually. Another highlight has been my partnership with a major UK law firm, which grew from an initial three training sessions into a two-year programme of 76 online workshops delivered to staff at all levels. My qualifications reinforce my practice. I became a Thomas International Certified Practitioner in 2014, accredited to deliver DISC personality assessments, emotional intelligence assessments, general intelligence assessments, and 360 feedback. I qualified as an ICF coach in 2022 and completed my PCC accreditation in 2025. These certifications, together with my practical experience, ensure that my coaching is both rigorous and tailored. Beyond delivery, I lead business development and marketing at Kinetic People Development, including publishing regular blogs on leadership and management at kineticpd.co.uk/blog. This enables me to share insights more widely and position coaching as a tool for long-term professional and organisational growth. Across my career, I have helped leaders and organisations navigate challenges such as mergers, redundancies, strategic change, and the Covid-19 pandemic. My role has consistently been to create safe but challenging environments where individuals can confront limiting beliefs, build resilience, and achieve sustainable growth. I bring a unique blend of business acumen, emotional intelligence, and facilitation expertise to every engagement, enabling both measurable business results and personal transformation. As I look ahead, I am motivated to continue broadening my impact through affiliate coaching opportunities. I thrive in collaborative environments where I can contribute my experience and energy to help individuals and organisations realise their potential.
