Executive Leadership Coaching Services
All my coaching programmes begin with an exploration of what your expectations for coaching are, any previous experiences with coaches you may have had and how you would like us to work together. This progress to a vision board experience where you can spend time finding out what you are working towards and discovering the steps necessary to achieve this.
We then work together to establish exactly you would like to work on during your coaching sessions with me and for how long you would like the programme to last for. All sessions include a follow up summary note detailing key actions and next steps, along with recommendations relating to resources and exercises that will help you with this.
Packages typically cover 3, 6 or 12 months and include:
- An introduction exploration session.
- Two one-hour coaching sessions per month.
- Session summary with notes and next steps
- Recommendations of tools and resources.
- End of programme review.
Although every programme is bespoke to you and adapted to your personal needs and aspirations, here is a general summary of the types of things covered in each programme.

I started coaching sessions with sally following a contact through NHSE menopause group. I wanted to commit to focus time on myself and understand more about coaching and where I was heading in my career. Sally was organised. professional and reliable. This was really important as she set the scene for sessions and from the outset I felt listened too and valued.
Sally ‘s interpersonal skills were key for me. They enabled me to open up when exploring area such as career choices, hobbies and self-evaluation. She was an active listener and I learnt very quickly that coaching was not advice but a vehicular to self-exploration. This required me to think about responses, consider what to bring or discuss at the sessions and complete tasks that I had set myself during our time together.
It felt like we were both learning and sharing at times which worked for me and provided an equality in the sessions.
I enjoyed the sessions and built a relationship with Sally based on honesty and openness.
The coaching went beyond myself as I spoke about family and too family about what I was covering. The more Sally explored my thoughts ideas and feeling the more I could hear myself talking and that I had the solutions and power to change or not change things in my life.
Fear and perception at different stages of our life, particularly mine in the menopause can have a different impact on you and I would encourage anyone to invest time in themselves. Coaching for me with Sally was interesting, enlightening and fun. I made a few changes since this work and know my rational for these decisions.
I would recommend Sally as a coach, her approach is gentle, engaging and compassionate.
