I've experienced many of the challenges my clients bring to coaching myself. The relentless pressure, difficult bosses, losing confidence in my own judgement and lying awake at night worrying about work.
And at the time, I had nowhere to go. No one I could talk to openly who really understood what I was dealing with.
Looking back, I realise that so many of the HR professionals I coach today are versions of me at different points in my career.
And that's a big part of why I do what I do.
I wanted to become the person I wish I'd had to turn to back then. Someone who understands the realities of senior HR, who you can be completely honest with and who can help you find a way through when everything feels overwhelming.
There's nothing I enjoy more than seeing someone begin to trust themselves again, handle difficult situations with greater confidence and get back to enjoying their life outside work.
