Having had the opportunity in my teens to volunteer at CRISIS at Christmas, I realised I wanted to work in the Charity Sector instead of becoming a barrister after my Law Degree.
So, I followed my heart and worked in charities, supporting clients with multiple needs including mental health, offending behaviour and homelessness.
Then I landed my dream job, as Chief Executive of a small but perfectly formed Youth Charity.
I felt honoured to lead an organisation committed to improving clients' outcomes. So, I set about learning how to secure the necessary funding, develop the staff and volunteers; deliver a range of lifeline services and work with the Board on Governance and strategy. But with a lack of support or training, it took me several years to build my confidence as a Senior Leader.
There just wasn't the internal or external support I needed to develop my leadership skills and become more effective and impactful. Finally, overwhelm caught up with me and I had a serious health scare, forcing me to learn how to take better care of myself; and be more resourceful, boundaried, productive and impactful.
These days, I love to support other purpose-driven, ambitious leaders and their teams, to feel more confident in their abilities; overcome challenges without striving and enhance their influence and impact, enabling them to feel more fulfilled and make an even bigger difference.
I created Heart-Centred Leaders, to support YOU on your leadership journey to become the impactful leader you aspire to be, whilst thriving!
I gently guide leaders along the path to become more heart-centred and to inspire other leaders to do the same.

But many of us have only been shown how to focus on the brain first and logical thinking. At Heart-Centred Leaders, we also learn to listen to our hearts and intuition, so you can grow in emotional intelligence, focus on your values and show compassion and empathy towards yourself and others, leading to improved results and increased impact.
In today’s world its all too easy to fall into the trap of relying on traditional leadership skills such as logic, strategic planning, control and command, complex processes and systems. But in doing so, we’re missing out on key pieces of the jigsaw which makes an inspiring, dynamic, and transformational leader.
More than ever before, the world is now crying out for leaders who can also listen to their hearts and their intuition. Heart-centred leadership enables us to lead with a higher vision as our compass, putting values and authenticity at the heart of the leadership approach and developing healthier relationships with ourselves and our teams.

I believe that the world is crying out for heart-centred leaders….now, more than ever before in the course of history….changemakers who can listen and act from their hearts for the benefit of themselves and others. Because together we really can heal the appearances of division, fear and disaffection around the world to create a future for the next generation which is collaborative, peaceful, creative and joyful.
