About me

I came to coaching and inter-personal work after a long career in the public sector including 20 years in BBC News where I managed large-scale projects and brought teams together from across different disciplines.  I developed a keen sense of how people are impacted by highly pressured working environments.  Since training as a coach in 2005 (accredited at PCC level by the ICF) I have been focused on two main things: coaching individuals and running mindfulness-based resilience training for organisations.  I am passionate about equality and am involved in projects to deliver these benefits to people who can't afford them through the social enterprise, Rising Minds, which I co-founded.
