I'm Suffolk born and bred where apparently a tractor is a family vehicle. I grew up next to the North Sea which I miss everyday.

I'm eternally optimistic (especially where the weather is concerned), empathetic and my secret power is figuring out what other people want out of their lives and work - even when they're not certain about this themselves - and then helping them work towards achieving this.

I was Head, Governance and Strategy, Europe of Standard Chartered Bank. I get plans. I get pressure. I get how if feels to be the only woman in the room.

I left this safe and secure environment to become a qualified coach. I went back to 'school' at Birkbeck for a year - God I felt old.

I wanted to qualify as a coach and use my experience from my corporate strategy role to provide a unique mix of skills to my clients.

I value curiosity and courage and a day without some kind of fun or experiment is a wasted one in my mind.

I bring all this to my work.

I'm a firm believer in trusting my instincts. It's what's got me here today.

Simple peace of mind.
