Work with me

After 25 years working for the UK public sector, both as a content specialist and senior union activist, I set up my own business so I could focus on the work I love.

What I do now

I use my knowledge and experience to help others grow, solve problems and achieve their goals.

Right now, I'm focusing on 3 strands of work:

1:1 coaching for content leaders: Having completed an International Coaching Federation (ICF)-accredited course at Barefoot Coaching, I’m a qualified coach, specialising in change and transformation.
Stakeholder management training for content designers: stakeholder management is probably the hardest part of any content designer's role, yet we often expect content designers to learn these skills 'on the job'. With this course, I aim to fix that by teaching content designers the strategy and tactics they need to be successful stakeholder managers.
Targeted stakeholder management surgeries: Taking existing scenarios, I work directly with content designers to come up with strategies and tactics they can use to navigate stakeholder challenges.

Content designer, team lead and strategic lead: in my career, I've been an editor, content designer, strategic team lead, mentor and trainer. I am passionate about content and realistic about the challenges that face content designers. Find out more about my deliverables in these roles
Union activist and branch chair: I spent 17 years as the branch chair of Birkbeck Unison. In this role, I was responsible for representing and advocating for the interests of my union members. But I also organised branch activities, chaired meetings, recruited and mentored branch activists, and took the lead on addressing issues such as workplace conditions, grievances and negotiations. As a spokesperson and leader, I worked to protect workers' rights and promote fair treatment.
