Executive Coaching
When I work with my coach it feels like I can finally get out of my own head and see things in a new light. I’m able to shift my perspective on situations that have held me captive in useless loops of over-thinking, confusion or self-doubt. I feel clearer on my goals, liberated to make decisions, and energised to act. I make progress on the things that really matter to me in my work and in my life.
This is the power of one-to-one coaching
Coaching sparks change. It deepens your self-awareness and shifts your mindset. It can mean the difference between managing effectively and fulfilling your potential to lead.
Talking regularly with someone who listens to you, who understands your goals, who appreciates your context, who believes in you, and who – very kindly – won’t let you off the hook, has the potential to transform how you are in the world and the difference you make.

Client Story
Coaching with Claudine has been a huge help for me. I rock up with a question or two, then we will explore this issue in lots of different ways, always ending with me understanding what is making this an issue for me and how I want to move forward. Lots of "light bulb" moments through my time with Claudine which even a year later I still reflect on. In short, she's a great coach!
Working with Claudine has been one of the best decisions I’ve made in my career. She’s a compassionate but clear-sighted coach who accelerated my performance as CEO and helped me to reconnect with my leadership style. I always looked forward to our sessions and the incredible questions Claudine formulated.
Team Coaching
Client Story
Turning to Claudine to help has been a great decision.
At the heart of any successful team coaching is the ability to win the respect and the trust of the team. I am delighted to say that through a combination of professional coaching standards and a naturally collaborative style, Claudine has proved herself to be a key part of my team’s development and subsequent improvement.
Teams can be magic. But the potential to become more than the sum of our parts – to do and achieve more together than we can alone – is elusive.
Team coaching is the secret ingredient that can make it happen
Team coaching is usually sponsored by a CEO or most senior leader. We work to create a space where the team can make breakthroughs in how they communicate, how they work together, how they become more honest, and how they can make conscious choices to change how they operate. It’s not navel-gazing. The work brings in the real-life demands being made of the team – from staff to customers – so that the coaching is grounded in current and future opportunities and threats.
Action Learning
What would you like your organisation to be better at?
It could be a specific practice, such as stakeholder engagement, or it could be something broader, such as managing change.
I partner with organisations that are committed to improvement and which realise that ‘doing some training’ just isn’t going to make the difference they need.
They know that development programmes need to be rooted in the context of the work they do. They don’t want to waste time, or money, on learning that doesn’t respond to the challenges their teams face.
What is Action learning?
- Action learning takes place through small groups having regular, facilitated conversations about real-life problems and how to solve them
- It involves asking questions rather than giving advice, so that solutions come from the people who really know the complexities of the situation
- Action Learning creates spaces of trust and openness that generate a cycle of action, reflection and impact
- And it allows you to build learning and coaching muscles in yourself and across the system so that you can keep on applying it as new challenges arise – a truly sustainable approach
Client Story
The action learning set has improved our efficiency and made us better able to confront new challenges. It breaks down barriers between people operating in different parts of the organisation, reduces the likelihood that we repeat mistakes and stops us thinking in silos.
“It’s hard it is to block 90 min mid day for an activity like this - but I looked forward to these sessions. Claudine knows the work we do; she gets the challenges we face and approached the sessions from a place of empathy and support… she really helped the group learn from each other and provided unique insights from her experience.”

Facilitation
Client Story
I've seen Claudine facilitate in different contexts, from large global meetings to share best practice between countries to tricky negotiations and partnership-building endeavours. She is excellent at holding the room, enabling communication and driving results. Claudine really understands the work and is a fabulous facilitator - a rare and valuable combination.

Getting people to communicate successfully is about helping them to ask and to listen, as well as to speak. It is at the heart of good facilitation and is a service I love providing to the teams and organisations I work with.
My global leadership and diverse sectoral experience mean I’m adept at facilitating large, senior international meetings that grapple with challenging topics and seek to achieve collaboration and change.
I partner with teams to shape agendas that build connection and trust, forging deeper engagement and breakthroughs in dialogue that might otherwise be stuck or superficial.
My coaching approach to these events brings a focus on action and follow-up so that these are not one-off talking-shops. I work with organisations to build a meaningful vision of the impact they want their event to have, and of what they can do to generate momentum and track progress.
Work with me to design and deliver an event that really makes a difference
