coaching


Creating the space, support and challenge needed to build confidence, unlock potential and take meaningful steps forward.

Sometimes the most valuable thing we can do is pause, reflect and think differently. Through a combination of curiosity, challenge and practical support, I enable individuals explore opportunities, navigate challenges and identify meaningful actions that move them forward with greater confidence and clarity.

what this looks like in practice

Every individual brings different experiences, aspirations and challenges, which means every coaching conversation is shaped around what matters most to them. Every coaching relationship is shaped around the individual, their role and what they are looking to achieve.  Areas I frequently explore include: 

  • leadership development
  • navigating change and transition
  • strengthening communication and influence
  • career development and progression
  • increasing self-awareness and understanding
  • building confidence and self-belief
  • exploring opportunities and overcoming challenges

how I work

While every coaching journey is unique, the principles that underpin my approach remain consistent. My coaching approach combines curiosity, thoughtful challenge and practical action.  By creating space for honest reflection and new perspectives, I enable individuals better understand themselves, navigate complexity and take meaningful steps forward.  

creating trust

Creating a supportive environment where honest conversations can take place.

providing support and challenge

Encouraging reflection, offering perspective and asking questions that help unlock new thinking.

turning insight into action

Focusing on practical steps that create momentum and meaningful progress.

the difference it can make

While the impact will depend on the individual and the context, coaching often creates greater self-awareness, confidence and clarity.  It can enable people to better understand themselves, challenge unhelpful assumptions and approach opportunities and challenges with greater intention.  The results is often increased confidence, stronger decision making and meaningful progress towards what matters most to them. 

  • Working with Shona has helped me develop greater self-awareness, confidence and trust in myself as a leader.

    Through our coaching conversations, I’ve strengthened my decision-making, improved communication with my team and become more confident contributing across the wider organisation. Shona creates a supportive environment while providing the right level of challenge to encourage growth. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to strengthen their leadership and gain greater clarity and confidence in their role.
