EXECUTIVE COACHING

You’ve built your career on deep expertise and consistent results. Now, you’re stepping into a role that calls for something different: strategic vision, confident leadership and the ability to influence beyond your technical knowledge.

At Nidd Valley Consulting, I coach high-performing clinicians, scientists and technical specialists through the shift from expert to leader, facilitating growth into your next chapter with clarity and confidence.

Through personalised executive coaching, you’ll evolve from your current role into a grounded, confident leader, developing tools to inspire and influence others.

Together, we’ll design a tailored coaching plan that sharpens and enhances your leadership presence, while strengthening your clarity of direction. This journey will facilitate meaningful action, allowing you to maintain balance under pressure and navigate pivotal career moments with purpose and calm.

Coaching is fundamentally a powerful conversation between two people. In its essence it is protected time for you to explore your goals and ambitions, develop awareness of yourself and any blockers and how to overcome these to achieve your desired outcomes from a personal and professional perspective.

I use a blended coach-mentoring approach meaning as well as coaching I will also share my sector and leadership experience to support you in your development journey. I take a positive psychology, strengths-based approach to help you discover and build your authentic leadership style and achieve your goals.

My clients appreciate my practical and leadership experience, the structured approach I bring to engagement and the respectful challenge that encourages them to fulfill their potential.
