As Chief Executive of my local council, I was proud to lead an award-winning organisation. Under my leadership, the Council grew in size and services, achieving numerous national awards for innovation and impact. I also spearheaded a new mental health and wellbeing strategy, implementing policies and actions that earned the Council a Silver Award for Mental Health Wellbeing in the Workplace. This experience laid the groundwork for my personal development coaching, where I now integrate wellness coaching services and provide support for chronic illness expertise, emphasizing strategic vision and values-led action. My leadership career reflects what I now bring into coaching: a proven ability to embed wellbeing into systems and culture.
