If you’ve found your way here, you’re probably carrying a lot.
You care deeply about what you do.
You’ve built, led, and carried something that matters. But somewhere along the way, the weight of responsibility has begun to feel heavy.
You’re juggling everything, holding multiple roles, and trying to keep all the plates spinning – often with very little space to think, breathe, or step back.
If that feels familiar, you’re not alone.

After nearly 30 years in the third sector, I’ve learned what works – and what doesn’t – about leadership. Now, I use that experience to help thoughtful, capable leaders grow in confidence and make the impact they long to have.

A Little Bit About Me
I’ve hovered around the charity sector for most of my life, whether that’s been shaking money tins outside supermarkets, working as a charity administrator, or working for heart-led businesses who loved to partner with charities. But when my son was born with Down Syndrome, it showed me a different side of the coin. Overnight, I went from being a charity supporter to becoming a charity beneficiary.
It was a whole new world I knew nothing about.
But that first night, as my son struggled to feed, I promised him that I would do everything I could to make sure that kids like him had all they needed to succeed in life.
- It meant that I had to bite the bullet and stop putting myself in an admin box.
- It meant going on a learning adventure and earning two fantastic degrees.
- It meant devoting 15 years to running charities and helping them grow.
All that experience has helped me to expand my horizons. I now work with charities and non-profit organisations like yours:
- Improving their governance
- Building their funding portfolio
- Coaching their leaders
It hasn’t always been easy, but l’ve seen first hand how resilience, compassion, and collaboration can change lives.
Family is still at the heart of what I do, and it drives my passion for helping charity leaders like you to be the best that you can be.
