ABOUT ME
I’ve always been fascinated by people – what drives the choices we make, the way we spend our time, the careers we chose, the way we behave – everything that makes us both the same and different.
Ever since I completed my psychology degree this fascination has been at the heart of how I work and it now provides the foundation of my coaching practice.
Alongside this, I bring more than 15 years’ corporate leadership experience in private equity and accountancy. I am an FCA with ICAEW and my experience covers all aspects of the Investor Relations and Finance Function within a large firm managing more than $15bn of assets.
What drove my success as Head of Finance in this challenging, high pressure environment was my ability to communicate across the business, build connections and get the best from the people around me to deliver for investors. By using both my IQ and EQ to maximum effect, I developed a leadership style that successfully challenged the status quo, drove change and increased my team’s commercial impact.
Above all, I loved leading a large team and spending time understanding who I had working for me, what made them special and how we could maximise their potential both as an employee and for their future career.
It’s a privilege to continue this work as a coach. I am an Associate Certified Coach (ACC) with the International Coaching Federation and have completed the Accredited Coach Training Programme (ACTP) with Optimus Coach Academy.
I love my coaching sessions with Laura, I always feel motivated to make change and take action after our time together, she creates a wonderful space to allow you to think and process what’s really going on.
