How does that sound?
The success of any coaching / mentoring work lies in the relationship between the client (you), and the coach (me).
We offer all potential clients a free discovery call to allow us to get to know each other and for you to judge whether I'm the right person for you to work with.

Executive Coaching is the choice for those who are Senior Leaders, Department Heads and CEOs
​
One-to-One coaching is the choice for those progressing up their career trajectories, not yet having reached a Senior Leadership Team position.
Once you've signed up we send some pre-session questions, which help guide our sessions - the more you are able to put into these in advance, the more we can achieve in the sessions. Up-front, we will agree what your objectives are for that period and how we will ensure you achieve them
We work in 6-session blocks for 1 to 1 coaching, sessions usually held a fortnight or a month apart. However, we also offer one-off super-sessions for short-burst, high-energy, fast action, trouble-shooting. Group coaching session frequency depend on the programme.
We hold each session live on zoom (which can be recorded if requested in advance) and after each session, you receive a follow-up email with the notes from the session, and a link to book your next appointment along with questions to help focus our discussions in your next session
So, if you're looking for some in-the-know support from a Roffey Institute-trained Coach; to up-level to the next stage in your role; for some solidarity during the Covid recovery phase; or for someone on-side in your new role, let's get started!

hear from some coaching clients
I was Deputy CEO of a small charity, leading a team of 4 Senior Managers and approx 18 staff. I needed someone who could hear the challenges within my organisation confidentially, and who understood the unique challenges that come with managing third sector organisations. Within that, I was personally struggling to work out exactly what I wanted from the next 20 years of my career. I knew what I didn't want, but working the rest out seemed difficult.
​
While working with Claire, I found a new role that suited my all-rounder style of working. Leaving my old role was difficult, but Claire supported me through it and into my new role. I am happy at work again, and that is so important to me.
​
Don't just think about working with Claire, DO IT!

Claire was incredibly understanding and flexible. From taking calls from
me in the stairway of my old workplace to taking calls in her car, she was a constant
presence of calmness and reassurance.
The thing that surprised me about working with Claire is how much she drew out from me – she showed me how much value and confidence I had in myself already, but hadn’t fully pulled out and owned before.
​
Claire is hungry to achieve what is best for the individual as well as the
organisation, and more than anyone else I’ve worked with, sees that these
two things often overlap more than you expect. Claire has helped me take
ownership of personal development, but also of rest, and how these two
acts that may be considered selfish will actually help me bring a better self to work. If you want to work with someone who will challenge your thinking, support your growth and be a constant source of calm, Claire is your woman.

Following a period of ill health and work related stress, I worked with Claire to navigate the pressures of balancing challenging fundraising objectives alongside management & leadership duties.
​
We worked together intensely over a six week period, meeting for weekly zoom coaching sessions.
Claire's warm, friendly, direct, task focused coaching helped me to achieve some challenging objectives, and I learnt valuable time management and prioritisation techniques and leadership skills.
Claire was a great source of support and encouragement, I really felt she was on my side during a very stressful period.
Claire helped me regain confidence in my abilities and helped me to prioritise my wellbeing by focussing on the the things that were in my control, and this continues to have a positive impact

Working with Claire has been transformational. On a personal level Claire has been coaching me for the last few months, her wisdom and supportive challenge has allowed me to successfully lead my team through a difficult time.
Claire is an expert on wellbeing in the sector, with complete understanding of the challenges and pressures fundraisers are under. Working with her has given me a better insight into myself, my strengths and areas of development and improved my resilience.
​
When you need coaching into finding the answer for yourself, that's exactly what you get. But on the days you just need someone who really cares to tell you what they would do in the same situation, she will do that for you too.

If you're thinking of working with Claire, Do it! Prioritise time to develop into the best leader and manager you can be
