how it works
Coaching
Whether you’re an ambitious professional ready to grow your leadership potential, or an organisation seeking to develop high-performing leaders and teams, I offer tailored coaching programmes designed to deliver lasting impact.
Individual coaching
Executive coaching for women and senior professionals is a series of focused conversations which drive insight, learning, change and tangible career growth.
Step 1: Chemistry call
We start with a conversation to understand your goals, challenges, and aspirations. I’ll explain how coaching works, what a successful engagement looks like, and how I can support your growth.

Step 2: Discovery
If you decide to go ahead, we will kick-start the process with an in-depth discovery. We explore your context in depth, which may include questionnaires, 360 feedback, input from your manager, or personality profiles. This ensures your coaching is tailored to your own leadership journey.
Step 3: Goal setting
Together, we set coaching goals with measurable outcomes. These may include:
- Strengthening executive presence and communication to influence upwards
- Building confidence in decision-making, priorities, and strategic thinking
- Enhancing leadership skills for managing teams in complex or hybrid environments
- Developing resilience, agility, and wellbeing
- Driving personal growth, assertiveness, and stakeholder impact
Step 4: Coaching sessions
Coaching typically begins with bi-weekly sessions and can adjust to weekly or monthly as needed. Each session is practical, supporting real-world outcomes that strengthen leadership, performance, and confidence.
Step 5: Evaluation
We measure progress against the agreed goals to ensure coaching delivers tangible results for you and your organisation.

“Sophie really helped me re-centre and focus on what I wanted out of both my work and personal life at a time when I was feeling a bit lost. She has made a hugely positive impact on me and helped me to feel a lot more confident and self-assured.”
