I have navigated and managed complex multi stakeholder relationships in a global organisation and understand the corporate language and landscape.

I have been very successful both at work and in my personal life, and yet I found myself at a point of plateau and I felt stifled.  It was through coaching that I discovered a far greater awareness that has fuelled my direction, meaning and purpose. 

Start to Thrive came into being as I leapt from corporate to entrepreneurial life.

I worked in a global automotive company for 20 years, in a senior commercial procurement role, managing my own team of buyers. I have coached, mentored and trained  in a dynamic and fast paced envirnoment, and it is this wealth of knowledge and experience, I bring to all my clients.

I understand the perspective of a large organisation, the supply chain and the personal strengths we bring to the table.
​
I’m an MCIPS certified procurement professional and I have rigorously trained and certified with the Co-Active® Training Institute, and I am an accredited coach with the ICF (International Coaching Federation).
 
Harking from Birmingham originally, I now live in Oxford with my rock of a husband and our two furry friends, who frequently march across my keyboard (rude)!

My work today is deeply rewarding and it is a  privilege to support people and businesses through transition.

Let me help you get out of your own way.
