I am a qualified Career and Executive Coach. Pre-children, I worked in global HR roles within Financial Services for 15 years, and then moved into property as HR Director where I sat on the board. My career was my identity and it was a tough decision to take an extended career break to focus on my two young children. When the time came to return to work, I decided to retrain as a Career and Executive coach, pulling upon my extensive HR and business experience. I feel passionate about helping others work through the difficult transition back into the workplace, and coach both professionals returning to work and leaders in business. As Client and Programme Director, I am developing Women Returners in Scotland and managing UK individual and cross-company returner programmes. I have a Certificate in Career Counselling with CCS and Practioner Diploma in Executive Coaching with the Academy of Executive Coaching.
