Coaching has a positive ripple effect far beyond the person being coached. I don’t just coach individuals though, I work to help employers shape their cultures too. Coachees talk about the positive impact they believe coaching is having on others; the opportunities opening up because of things they have done as a result of coaching and other people noticing positive changes. This is coaching at its best.

Women from organisations such as IBM, Roche, EY, Cambridge University, Carillion and Standard Life have taken part in our ‘maternity comeback’ and ‘career comeback’ workshops. They’re free to the individuals taking part and perhaps you read about them in the Guardian Women in Leadership section? Participants co-create the agenda so it’s highly focused on their needs.
