Executive Coaching
When leadership asks more of you
For senior leaders and business owners facing a significant change, and ready to develop their leadership.
Finding new perspectives
Leadership can bring moments when the challenges you’re facing ask something new of you. What worked before may no longer be enough, or you may simply recognise that you would benefit from an experienced perspective alongside your own.
Executive coaching gives you space to explore what’s happening, including how you’re seeing the situation and what might be influencing your response. Through thoughtful dialogue, new perspectives can emerge, often revealing possibilities that were difficult to see from inside the situation.
Over time, this becomes part of your leadership practice. By reflecting on the real situations you encounter, you develop greater self-awareness, resourcefulness and presence, expanding your capacity to meet new challenges and lead well.
How I work
I work with leaders as experienced practitioners in their own right. You bring your knowledge of yourself, your organisation and the challenges you’re facing. I bring deep coaching expertise, broad business experience and an ability to notice patterns, connections and possibilities that can be difficult to see from inside the situation.
My coaching is thoughtful, curious and engaged. I’ll listen carefully, ask questions, share what I’m noticing and challenge you when it’s useful. There is room to explore widely, while staying connected to what matters and what you want to develop in your leadership.
I see coaching as a practice rather than a quick fix. The aim is not simply to find an answer to the issue in front of you, but to use the conversation to deepen your self-understanding, strengthen your judgement and expand the resources you can draw on as a leader.
I work one-to-one with senior leaders and business owners, and with leadership teams looking to develop their collective practice. This can include working with leaders and teams in family businesses, where leadership, ownership and relationships often bring additional dimensions to the work.
Whatever brings you to coaching, the work starts with where you are and develops from there.
Meet Vicky
I’m an executive coach with a longstanding interest in how people develop as leaders, particularly when they encounter challenges that ask something new of them.
My own career has given me a broad perspective on leadership and organisational life. I trained as a chartered accountant with PwC and have worked across commercial, public and charitable organisations in senior finance, operations and leadership roles. I spent eight years helping to lead and ultimately sell my family business, and have since worked with organisations ranging from growing businesses to household names.
Alongside my business career, I’ve spent many years studying how people think, change and relate to one another. My coaching draws on training in executive coaching, systemic approaches and organisational change, together with a deep interest in psychology, relationships, culture and the wider systems in which leadership takes place.
What brings these strands together is a belief that leadership is something we continue to practise and develop throughout our working lives. I bring curiosity, experience and perspective to the conversation, while recognising that every leader has their own way of seeing, thinking and making their contribution.
Start a conversation
If you’re facing a new challenge, thinking about how you want to develop as a leader, or simply wondering whether coaching might be useful, I’d be very happy to hear from you.
We can have an initial conversation about what’s happening, what you’re looking for and whether working together feels like a good fit.
