FIND YOUR OWN PATH

Coaching

I enable clients to develop their own leadership style, rooted in self-awareness and an understanding of their unique strengths, skills and values   —

At the core of my work I aim to develop high trust and high challenge relationships that enable clients to clarify and work towards their goals. As a coach I provide a structured, focused and non-judgmental space in which the client explores their challenges and finds their own solutions through a supportive and accountable process.

I offer leadership support to individuals at all stages of their careers from aspiring and emerging leaders to established CEOs and those moving on from major roles. As a specialist in co-leadership and leadership development I also provide coaching packages in these areas and I regularly work with global majority and Deaf/disabled and Neurodivergent leaders.

I’m very grateful to Claire for being the wave of inspiration I needed to move forward…

How it works

Am I the right coach for you?
You need to feel comfortable talking to me – so I’m very happy to have an informal chat before you decide if we can work together. You might also want to check my qualifications, find out more about my values or read some client testimonials. I offer fully flexible contracts so if at any stage you decide it’s not for you – then you can stop, no problem! 

Option 1: ‘Pay as you go’ coaching

You’ll start by completing a questionnaire in advance of our 90 min introductory session to help you prepare. In the first session, we explore what you hope to achieve and clarify how we’ll know our work is on track, booking in future sessions on a schedule to suit you. I create a simple contract summarising what we’ve agreed in terms of the scope of your work and our respective roles and responsibilities.

In subsequent sessions I’ll encourage you to reflect on and celebrate progress towards your goals and invite you to work on a specific area with the aim of generating fresh insights and solutions. Pacing of sessions balances momentum with allowing follow-up between sessions and aside from the actions you decide to take I might also suggest an exercise or inquiry question. to explore. Typically we meet every 2-3 weeks with sessions taking place online or in my office I central York.

Option 2: Coaching packages

I offer a choice of two fixed-price packages at a reduced hourly rate and including access to exclusive resources drawing on my experience as a leadership specialist. The leadership development programme  is tailored to your context whether as an experienced CEO looking for a sounding board; a first-time manager wanting to develop skills and understand and hone your style or maybe you’re leading the team through a period of change. This programme is designed to help you develop your impact as a leader. The Co-leadership development programme is a comprehensive package of support based around my research and designed for new co-leader looking for external specialist support to guide them through the establishment of a successful new collaborative working arrangement.

 

 

 

TESTIMONIALS

Happy Clients

“I found Claire to be very switched on, energised and engaged. After the session, the questions asked and the attentiveness given were like a pebble dropped into water; the ideas and motivation bubbled up as I took part in activities suggested by Claire to help find my way through. Over the following months, I mulled over and mapped out my thoughts. I formulated a plan — which meant taking the plunge to let go of some things — and worked with focus towards being awarded my first Arts Council England grant and four other grants for a project that had been waiting just under the surface. I’m very grateful to Claire for being the wave of inspiration I needed to move forward”.

“As a first time coachee, I couldn’t be more delighted with the process of working with Claire and the subsequent impact on my professional practice. Each session struck the perfect balance of positivity and progress with Claire’s approach teasing out solutions to even the most knotty problems. Working with Claire was a brilliant experience and I benefited a huge amount from her warm and open style, combining active listening, helpful provocations and a forensic ability to shift the spotlight on any given issue. I simply couldn’t recommend Claire as a coach any higher.”

Anon

“This was my first sustained coaching experience over a 6 month period and I have seen a very positive shift in my professional approach. Through our conversations I developed techniques in finding solutions for myself and was particularly helped with shifting away from limiting self-narratives.  
Claire’s coaching style helped me quickly establish a clear plan for our time and she was responsive to my way of learning – weaving in activity that would support me outside of sessions at my request.”

Anon

“I’ve enjoyed working with Claire who generously provided much needed space and time in our coaching session, which helped me to reflect on my work. Claire configured the coaching sessions around me and was very adaptive to my needs. Within our coaching sessions, and because of the perspectives that Claire provided, something really clicked for me. The coaching helped me to re-consider some specific work challenges and to try out a new approach. This experience was instrumental for my leadership development.”

Anon

“Coaching with Claire was really useful for me to set a clear goal and dedicate an hour of my day to work out how to achieve this goal by creating a plan. Claire was very supportive throughout the coaching, giving space to fully explore my thoughts as well as encouraging me to examine some in more depth. With Claire I never felt judged or rushed through my answers”
