Let's start with you.

You’ve achieved a great deal — and yet you’re questioning whether continuing on the same path is the best use of your experience, energy, and ambition.

At certain points in a career, capable people find themselves facing situations like these:

  • Your role or trajectory no longer feels aligned with the experience you’ve built.
  • Opportunities to learn, grow or progress have narrowed — despite strong performance.
  • You’ve been told you’re next — but the role, promotion, or move hasn’t materialised.
  • An assignment or role has ended, without clarity on what comes next.
  • Meaningful, honest career conversations are missing where you are.
  • Organisational change has created uncertainty about your place or future.
  • You’re navigating an unexpected transition — redundancy, pause or reset.
  • You want work that keeps you relevant, valued, and in demand well into later career stages.
WORK WITH ME

What working together looks like

One-to-one career work

I partner with intellectually curious professionals who want to make thoughtful, ambitious decisions about their careers — and who value depth over quick fixes.

If this resonates, we may be a good fit.

Together, we clarify what you want next, pressure-test it against reality, and design a path forward that reflects both who you are now and where you want to go. My role is not to motivate or persuade, but to offer perspective, structure, and challenge — grounded in long experience of how careers and organisations actually work.

This is careful, committed work. And it’s designed to last.

I spent 25+ years in senior Human Resources roles across the life sciences and personal care sectors, holding European and global leadership positions.

Alongside my coaching expertise, I bring first-hand experience of how organisations make decisions — about people, roles, readiness and potential. This allows me to support career choices with clarity, realism, and strategic perspective.

This is what we focus on together:

  • Creating perspective and stability in moments of change
  • Clarifying what you want next and what no longer fits
  • Identifying and articulating your distinctive value
  • Exploring credible future directions without premature narrowing
  • Designing an ambitious, well-judged career roadmap
  • Developing a transition strategy you can act on
  • Positioning yourself to remain relevant, valued, and in demand

Immersive retreat experiences

My retreats offer space for a different kind of thinking — away from day-to-day demands, roles, and expectations. They are designed for moments when it makes sense to slow down and think deeply.

The locations are chosen with care — not as a backdrop, but to create distance from familiar patterns and open up a different perspective.

These events are structured to create headspace for focused, individual work, supported by guided reflection and shared experiences that do not require personal exposure. They are intentionally small, discreet, and designed with privacy and confidentiality in mind.
