Where I Can Help Most
Some challenges don’t respond to another meeting, memo, or internal workaround.
They call for a fresh perspective — someone outside the system who can offer clarity, objectivity, and practical guidance.
This is what I offer: clarity, objectivity, and practical guidance when they matter most.
I’m most helpful when:
- A leadership team is stuck after growing faster than its systems
- A restructuring plan looks fine on paper — but people aren’t buying in
- A brilliant but exhausted team is losing sight of its purpose
- Evaluation or audit findings exist, but no one knows how to act on them
- You’re spending more time putting out fires than leading forward
- Morale is low, conflict is simmering, or turnover is quietly rising
- The external context has shifted — and your team is struggling to adapt
- A project or department is drifting, despite everyone’s effort
- You’ve been circling the same complex issue for months — and nothing’s shifting
These are the moments when breakthroughs happen.
When stuck conversations move again.
When direction becomes clear — and progress becomes possible.
I bring a mix of:
- Strategic insight and empathy
- Systemic thinking and human-centred design
- Facilitation and coaching grounded in decades of experience across sectors
What I bring isn’t a template. It’s an approach:
curious, calm, and committed to finding what works in your context — not someone else’s.Every organisation is different — and so is the kind of support it needs.
Below are examples of my services and how we can work together. Each can be tailored to your context, pace, and goals.
Organisational Diagnosis & Roadmap
A focused engagement to clarify what’s stuck — and where to go next.
This is a compact 4-session process that gives leaders insight, alignment, and direction.
Ideal if you’re at a crossroads, in crisis, or unsure where to begin.
What’s included:
- Leadership discovery session
- Team focus group or pulse check
- Analysis + roadmap co-creation
- Strategic follow-up session
What you’ll walk away with:
- A high-level map of what’s really going on

Coaching for Executives and Managers
Personalised support to help you lead with clarity, courage, and intention.
Whether you’re managing change, navigating team dynamics, or growing into a new role, leadership coaching helps you strengthen your capacity and stay centred.
What we work on:
- Strategic thinking and decision-making
- Communication and team motivation
- Confidence in complex or uncertain contexts
- Navigating feedback, conflict, or overload
🕒 Format: Individual sessions (60–90 minutes)
📅 From 3-session intensives to 6–12 month journeys

Team Facilitation
Create the space your team needs to move forward — together.
When conversations get stuck, tensions build, or big questions loom, facilitation helps teams reconnect, align, and make decisions they can own.
Use this format for:
- Strategy development and review
- Conflict resolution or difficult conversations
- Visioning, planning, or restructuring
- Mid-point reflection in long-term projects
🧩 Tailored to your team’s size, goals, and culture
📍 Format: On-site, hybrid, or online
📅 From single sessions to multi-day processes
Project Evaluations
Insight-rich evaluations that lead to learning, not just reports.
I lead or support external evaluations of programmes and projects — especially those operating in complex, shifting, or politically sensitive contexts.
My approach combines:
- A focus on learning and practical value, not just accountability
- Deep understanding of non-profit realities and funder expectations
- The ability to translate complex findings into clear, feasible next steps
Whether commissioned by funders or organisations themselves, my evaluations help clarify what’s working, what’s not, and what to do next.
📅 Available as lead evaluator or thematic expert
💬 Flexible formats based on scope, timing, and context
Policy Review & Development
From unread documents to practical tools your team actually uses.
Policies are essential for clarity, consistency, and alignment — but too often, they’re too long, too vague, or disconnected from daily reality. I help organisations create or revise policies so they are clear, relevant, and genuinely helpful — not just formalities.
Ideal if:
- Your current policies are outdated, unclear, or not being followed
- You’re growing, restructuring, or facing new risks that need reflection in policy
- Key practices are undocumented or applied inconsistently
- You want to avoid top-down drafting that causes confusion or pushback
What’s included:
- Review of existing policies through a strategic and values-based lens
- Facilitated sessions to surface what the policy needs to reflect
- Support in navigating sensitive topics and trade-offs
- Coaching through the drafting or redrafting process
What you’ll walk away with:
- Policies that are fit for purpose and aligned with your culture
- Clearer expectations and stronger implementation
- Greater team understanding and ownership
📍 Format: Online, hybrid, or on-site
📅 From single sessions to full-cycle drafting support
Advisory & Consulting Support
Strategic thinking, practical insight, and hands-on help — when you need it.
Some challenges need fresh perspective, others need steady external support.
This flexible format offers both.
Examples include:
- Process design for change or reorganisation
- Donor-facing evaluation implementation
- Monitoring, evaluation, and learning (MEL) systems that actually work
- Responsible use of AI tools in management and programme work
- Organisational wellbeing strategies (with a focus on women’s health and midlife resilience)
📅 Available as one-off consultations, short-term projects, or long-term advisory partnerships
