A Different Kind of Coach
I help thoughtful, driven people find their voice and communicate with clarity, confidence, and impact.
My work has always centered on one thing: helping people find and use their voice.
Not just in presentations or meetings—but in the moments that matter most.
The conversations that shape careers.
The ideas that deserve to be heard.
The decisions that require clarity and confidence.
This Work is Personal
How did I get this way?
My sisters would say it started at birth. Perhaps. I am the daughter of two very adventurous parents.
Since then, I’ve reinvented myself across industries, continents, and chapters of life.
I grew up on a sheep farm in South Canterbury, New Zealand—learning early how to explore, question, and imagine something bigger.
I’ve lived in seven countries and thirteen cities. I’ve moved across the world on my own, more than once.
I spent nearly two decades in academia, teaching business communication and journalism, and writing for global publications like The Economist, Financial Times, and The Guardian.
And then I chose to start again.
Because I saw something clearly:
So many brilliant people were holding themselves back or confusing people—not because they lacked ability, but because they struggled to communicate it.
That’s the work I do now. As your thought partner, communications strategist, and as your communications coach.

How I See This Work
Boo to templated formulas and approaches. I don’t subscribe to them.
From the first DIscovery, we see what you see, what you want to change, and co-create a strategy helping you get there.
We establish your baseline on your written and spoken word, you receive my honest feedback—on everything.
Coaching with me feels like a slowed-down, thoughtful conversation, reflective inquiry, with tactics and helpful activities we come up with together.
You lead.
I listen, reflect, coach, train, and guide.
You discover.
We co-create.
Every session, you walk out with a new mindset and something new to try right away.
Why This is Different
I coach the person, the problem, and the messages, keeping your audience needs in mind.
That means:
Devoted listening and deep curiosity
Non-generic advice. More discovery
Co-created tactics customized for you, your situation, and audience
Coaching, strategy, and training on the communication challenge bothering you the most.
A little more about me…
I’ve always been a bit of an outlier.
A black sheep.
An observer.
Someone who asks questions and looks a little deeper.
Friends call me an old soul. Maybe that’s true.
What I know for sure is this:
I care deeply about this work—and about the people I do it with.
Let’s Work Together
If you’re ready to communicate with more clarity, confidence, and impact,
I’d love to support you.
