About me
A subtlety of development is that we can learn without truly developing. Coaching bridges that gap.
I care about the interplay between perception and agency: how clarity alters what we notice, question and enact. Through Think Being®, I partner with individuals, groups, teams and organisations, integrating decades of experience spanning diverse sectors and cross-cultural settings. My approach is humanistic and evidence-informed, blending warmth with rigour and ethical integrity while nurturing inclusive communities and astute stakeholder engagement.
With dynamic style, a sense of play and intuitive practice, the magic of a thinking partnership happens. It surpasses technique; it’s about being by your side. We each author our own story, yet we can slip into shadow. Beautiful audacity is cultivated.
Dual-accredited as ICF PCC and EMCC Global Senior Practitioner, I hold postgraduate Distinctions from Henley Business School in Executive Coaching and Coaching for Behavioural Change. My thought leadership features in published work, complemented by continued scholarship and research advancing inquiry.
Creativity flows when I swim, and I find joy walking riverside or along vast coastlines.
My role at the UK Chapter
Professional development should not simply answer the questions already being asked.
As Board Director of Professional & Personal Development, I architect an expansive portfolio attentive to what matters to members while forecasting what may surface next: original ideas, intellectual currents, distinctive voices and the headwinds facing coaching. I commission, curate and co-create learning that challenges assumptions, broadens perspectives and honours space for the unexpected.
Personal and professional development are not separate endeavours. Their intersection foregrounds how we relate to self, others and the planet; where competing priorities and co-existing tensions resist easy resolution; and what these require of us as coaches.
Alongside imagination sits stewardship: assurance, governance and financial sustainability.
Why I volunteer
Contribution is reciprocal.
Interpretations are disrupted by other minds; certainties encounter difference; insight circulates rather than settles.
Systemically, I uphold that people develop with depth when we help others to develop.
For me, this is when the light shines brightest from within.
Current areas of focus
- At coaching’s edges – pursuing nascent questions and propositions beyond familiar territory.
- The human question – what remains distinctively human when intelligence is abundant?
- Learning with consequence – generating reflection, application and discernible impact.
- Difference, care and belonging – examining responsive practice through identity, lived experience and need.
- Ethics, ambiguity and quality – cultivating discernment within a profession still largely unregulated.
