Are you seeking innovative solutions to navigate the evolving challenges within your teams, departments, and organizational culture?
As the demands of the modern workplace shift, are you finding it increasingly difficult to maintain strong connections, resolve conflicts, and drive productivity?
The work landscape has dramatically evolved over the last few years, bringing new challenges that industries must face head-on.
In a world where virtual communication often replaces in-person interactions, many teams feel disconnected, isolated, and disengaged. You may have exhausted internal resources, but the need for a fresh perspective has never been more critical.
The future calls for a renewed focus on leadership behavior and communication skills to create more open, honest, and trusting workplaces. By fostering these qualities, we can strengthen psychological safety, enhance collaboration, and significantly increase productivity.
“I’ve had an immense pleasure of working with Helen for over a year now and I cannot recommend her enough. She is a fantastic professional, TedEx curator, executive coach, consultant, trainer, facilitator that uniquely combines her empathetic, deeply humane approach to everyone and everything she does with hard data-driven business expertise.
Over the years, we’ve worked together on a variety of L&D projects: like Influencing skills course, leadership development programs, learning bites, 121 coaching, etc. Helen has always added value based on her tremendous experience, business know-how and creative flair & empathy, that’s been confirmed by the ongoing top positive feedback received after Helen’s sessions.”
This is where I come in.
My expertise lies in unraveling the complexities of leadership behavior and dynamics, empowering individuals and teams to achieve ambitious strategic goals while enhancing communication and collaboration.
I draw from my many years of experience in leadership development within financial services, and the continued work I do within organisations across different sectors as a consultant I bring a deep understanding of how to challenge entrenched behaviors and foster positive change.
“Helen worked with us on our first virtual Leadership Programme. As usual, her session on Story Telling prepared the group well for their final presentations and the results spoke for themselves. Each person showed how practical the content of the relatively short 2.5-hour session was, with their individual presentations enriched with Helens’ tools. What I love about working with Helen is her ability to quickly understand the context of the job, tailor the to the people in the room, and provide high energy in her delivery.“
Here’s what sets me apart:
- Leadership in Financial Services: two decades of focusing on leadership behavior in the financial sector, honing the ability to drive change in high-stakes environments.
- Psychometric Expertise: Utilising deep-dive psychometrics and 360 tools to disrupt and reshape dynamics within teams.
- TEDx Experience: As a TEDx speaker, coach, and event curator, I specialise in helping leaders to transform dry, data-driven messages into inspiring and impactful communication using stories.
- Visionary Leadership Development: Helping senior leaders articulate their vision with clarity and engage their teams, creating a shared journey toward success through their communication.
- Evolutionary Communication Techniques: Leveraging insights into human behavior to employ communication strategies that consistently deliver results.
- Mastery of Influence: Building strong, positive relationships that lead to happier, healthier, and more productive teams.
- Media Savvy: Hosting a radio show and podcast has sharpened my skills in having honest, impactful conversations within tight timeframes.
- Entrepreneurial Insight: Running a business for 10 years has given me a firsthand understanding of how awareness and communication are key drivers of business success.
Now, I am laser-focused on helping senior leaders enhance their impact and effectiveness across teams, cultures, and entire organizations.
If you’re ready to elevate your leadership and communication strategies, let’s connect.
How I can help
Some examples of current work I’m delivering within organisations:
Strategic Leadership Programme
A bespoke programme for cohorts of up to 12 leaders that aims to drive lasting behavioural change in line with strategic goals through deep awareness and empowered action.
Delegates receive a combination of deep dive awareness coaching using the Hogan suite of psychometric tools (MVPI, HPI and HDS) combined with the Hogan 360 to understand nuances of drivers, values and behaviour and ‘dark side derailers.’
This in depth awareness then moves to action through various coaching and workshops around themes aligned with the output from the one to one coaching sessions.
Example workshop topics include:
Strategic influence and stakeholder management, conflict resolution, creating a vision, developing a culture of Radical Candor, communication and briefing skills and creating trust and psychological safety.
This programme includes orientation and buy-in sessions to set up the programme and gain commitment, one to one coaching and feedback sessions, group workshops and follow up reflection sessions to ensure new behaviours are embodied and observed and results delivered.
Other available workshops
- Impact and influence (how to achieve more the authentic way)
- Dissolving conflict (conflict management and resolution)
- Speaking up with courage – (assertiveness and self promotion)
- Developing a leadership brand and network (becoming the noted go to expert)
- TED worthy ideas (developing thought leadership)
- Speaking with impact (becoming a high impact presenter and speaker)

My career story
I started my career in leadership, talent and learning as a coach at Virgin Atlantic Airways at the tender age of 19 and found my passion for helping people to achieve more.
Over the years, I honed my expertise, coaching and training front line managers to C – Suite Execs on the power of influence, communication, managing conflict, team dynamics and self awareness.
I helped leaders to deliver engaging speeches, town halls, briefings and team days. Often working with complex and quite dull material (because we still have to use data to communicate!)
Over time I became the ‘Go-To’ person for supporting the development of leadership capability, talent and teams in these areas. I acquired new tools to my belt including the powerful and versatile tool of storytelling.
Since starting my own business I have enjoyed adding my experience in the world of TED as a speaker and curator, alongside working with many SME’s and entrepreneurs as a speaker and storytelling coach, and continuing to support organisations to enrich my expertise in this area.
