Partnering with organisations and leaders to help unlock their human-centred power to become resilient leaders. Through leadership training, consulting, coaching, workshops and speaking. Resulting in greater performance and client impact for your organisation and team.

Hello, I’m Claire, and I’m here to help organisations and their leaders find clarity, confidence, and personal power so they can perform at their best, unlock their self-led ability to become resilient and motivated leaders. This in turn empowers your entire organisation to achieve your goals.

What I’ve seen time and again in professional services companies is that success doesn’t just come from strategy or technical skill. It comes from how leaders think. How they lead themselves, respond under pressure, hold and deliver the vision of the organisation, and how they connect with others.

My own journey has been anything but ordinary. From building an FMCG brand from a market stall to supermarket shelves, to pitching on BBC Dragon’s Den, to consulting for global corporates and start-ups, to keynote speaking on big stages. I have learned first-hand what it takes to lead, what, and how we can get in the way. Being the founder, the commercial director, the consultant, and the coach, I know what the highs feel like, but I also know the weight of responsibility too.

Organisations bring me to support their teams and leaders with:

Stepping back and reassessing how they lead, so they can build stronger teams. Developing people leadership confidence – starting with personal power and self-leadership Moving through being stuck in cycles of ‘always done it this way’ without pausing to reflect, learn and improve.

Responsibility for accountability of taking full ownership of outcomes.

Emotional intelligence for effective people leadership Goal setting & self-motivation tools for sustained performance – that don’t just look good on paper!

We’ve worked together to build their teams and leaders to fulfil the organisations next level aspirations. I work in a very practical, straightforward, no jargon way! I believe in giving people skills and tools which are very practical, and which can be used in the very real scenario of the day-to-day reality of professional services life.

Over the past decade I’ve worked blending commercial insights, behavioural coaching and lived experience and helped clients across sectors including Amazon, Arla, Kellogg’s, Virgin and Bupa. I’ve also designed and delivered leadership curricula for Durham University and written accredited study materials for the Institute of Leadership, and coached CEO’s, founders, and senior executives.

I’m an ICF trained coach, accredited in DISC profiling and a qualified NLP practitioner. Keep your eyes peeled too for my second business book hitting the shelves next spring – Forget Normal, I Want Magic – The 5 Rules of Leadership.

I’ll help your leaders and organisation through using a combination of these professional tools and the lessons I’ve lived and learned myself – leading teams, growing businesses, and developing my personal power and resilience to keep going, especially when it’s tough, which I am sure you’ll agree, every business needs.

I’ve even swum the English Channel in a relay and all 10.5miles of Lake Windermere solo, which taught me more about perseverance, mindset, and strategy than any textbook could!

If you want leaders and teams who are resilient, accountable, emotionally intelligent, and able to perform with clarity and confidence, who know how to self-lead and own their personal power, then let’s have a conversation.
