My passion is helping ambitious professionals, especially mid-career and senior leaders, navigate career transitions, land leadership roles, or pivot into work that aligns with their values and priorities.
Having navigated my own career pivots (yes, I've been in retail, recruitment, and even tried my hand as an estate agent!), I know how challenging career change can feel. But with the right support, clarity, and tools, it's a journey that has led to incredible growth and fulfilment.

- Ensure a healthy work-life balance for sustainable success
Why DISC? Understanding Yourself to Lead Others
I've used and trained in many personality frameworks over the years, but DISC remains the one I come back to, because it helps leaders understand how they show up everywhere, not just at work. As a licensed practitioner with TTI Success Insights, I've seen how it brings both self-awareness and simplicity.
Dominance
How you deal with challenges and make decisions
Influence
How you connect, persuade and build relationships
Steadiness
How you manage pace, pressure and change
Compliance
How you work with structure, rules and detail
The Power of Self-Awareness
Your personal DISC graph shows where your energy naturally sits on each scale. High or low isn't good or bad, it's simply how you're wired. Once you can see that, you can choose how to flex your style depending on who and what you're dealing with.
I've seen clients use it to improve team collaboration, strengthen marriages, and even understand their teenagers better. It's that practical and that human.
That's where leadership agility really starts.
Book Your DISC SessionThe Moment Strengths Become Strain
Every profile brings strengths, but those same strengths can work against you when overused. As an example:
The high-achiever can come across as impatient.
The people-pleaser may avoid honest feedback.
The perfectionist can get lost in the detail.
DISC helps you recognise the tipping point, that moment when what usually works for you starts to get in your way. Awareness is what allows you to reset before relationships or results suffer.
What I See Most Often in Coaching
Over the years, three broad patterns come up time and again:
The Driver
Focused, decisive, high standards. Brilliant in a crisis...
...but sometimes forgets to bring their people with them.
The Harmoniser
Caring, loyal and collaborative. Creates safe, happy teams...
...but avoids conflict until it becomes unavoidable.
The Guardian
Steady, reliable, quietly excellent. The detail's always right, but...
...delegation and change feel uncomfortable.
The real growth comes when these leaders learn to flex, when they notice what's natural, what's needed, and how to move between the two without losing authenticity.
Why DISC Still Matters
Leadership development today often focuses on frameworks, strategy or visibility, all important. But what sits beneath it is behaviour: how you communicate, decide, influence and react when the pressure's on.
That's why I believe DISC continues to be so effective. It gives leaders a language for understanding both themselves and others.
In an age of constant change and technology, this kind of behavioural intelligence is what makes work—and life—run more smoothly.
Curious?
If you're curious to understand more about your own patterns, how you communicate, make decisions or respond under pressure, a DISC Evaluation & Feedback Session offers you a simple starting point.
What You'll Receive
You'll complete a short, research-based assessment developed by TTI Success Insights, one of the most trusted behavioural tools available. Your results create a clear picture of your natural style, what energises you, what drains you, and how others experience your approach.
In our one-to-one feedback conversation, we'll explore what that means in real life, how to play to your strengths, flex where needed, and use this insight to make everyday interactions a little easier.
Many people say it helps them join the dots between who they are, how they work, and what they need to thrive.
The Invitation
If you've ever wondered why certain people energise you while others drain you, or why your reactions vary between work and home, DISC will explain it.
And once you see it, you can't unsee it, but you'll handle life and leadership with far more ease.
