Find Something

&lt;p&gt;I originally trained as a pharmacist, qualifying in 1995. After a number of years working in a variety of roles within the NHS and the private sector I returned to education to undertake my MBA with the University of Strathclyde Business School, obtaining this is 2006.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Following my MBA I joined the Pharmaceutical Industry and worked in a number of roles becoming a Market Access specialist. Following the birth of my son in 2009 I decided to take a break from paid employment and set up a franchise&amp;nbsp; the Women in Business Network (WIBN), running a number of highly dynamic and sucessful women’s networking events across the East Midlands, supporting women at all stages of their business journey from start-ups to well established businesses. This was the role which really sparked my interest in coaching as I became an informal coach and mentor to a number of the women in her network and discovered that not only was I good at it but that I quickly developed a passion for supporting people to work through problems and issues and come out much stronger.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;After a family move to Scotland in 2012 I joined Scottish Enterprise – the National economic development agency and further developed both my business and coaching skills, supporting a range of businesses primarily in the life and chemical industries sector. I also broadened her international horizons becoming the team lead for all aspects of EU engagement including writing the EU Engagement strategy and supporting businesses into collaborations with other EU companies.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In 2015 I moved back into the Pharmaceutical Industry and in 2018 cemented my long standing interest in coaching by training as a Personal and Business coach with Barefoot Coaching, one of the leading coach training organizations in the UK.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I maintain&amp;nbsp;a facilitative coaching style and pride myself on being a friendly, supportive and engaging. I believe&amp;nbsp;passionately that coaching can support individuals to reach their true potential and I will gently and respectfully push clients beyond their comfort zone to achieve fantastic results both for the individual and the business.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
