I am a coach, leader, fundraiser, project manager, consultant and committed champion of the arts and arts education.

I am passionate about people – their stories and their potential; their challenges and their quirks. The unique experience and perspective that each person brings to an organisation, collaboration, partnership, family or friendship is powerful beyond words. As a transformative coach, I know that by understanding ourselves and those around us – both our values and our value – we can increase our impact, achievement and enjoyment, navigate challenges, celebrate successes and plan with joy and ambition for the future. 

In 25 years working in arts administration, I have led organisations and supported leaders, challenged the status quo and delivered long-term organisational goals. I know what it is to deliver demanding, complex projects with small, dedicated teams. I understand the challenges of operating with small budgets, limited reserves or uncertain funding. I have felt the pressure of balancing the need to serve beneficiaries with supporting tired, struggling colleagues. 

My happy place is to get curious and creative – whether working with an individual… who are you? where do you come from? what drives you? what inspires you? what is your special spark of ingenuity? how is your resilience faring in this challenging world? – or working with an organisation – what is your organisational purpose? how do you harness the skills within your team? what do you need to bring people together? how can you unlock your collective potential? I bring clarity and rigour to conversations, getting to the crux of what is holding someone back, getting in the way or stopping them flourishing.
