Working Together
Supporting leaders, enabling change.
Your work is inspirational, daunting and matters. You are passionate about becoming the best version of yourself and leading with impact. You are driven to become the best leader you can.
The challenges that present along your leadership journey are opportunities.
Opportunities to learn about yourself, improve your skills and lead with impact.
As a leadership coach, I am here to accompany and support this journey. Together we will:
Focus on your values as a leader
Build your understanding and awareness of situations around you
Explore practical tools, skills and new approaches to leadership
Develop your capacity to respond differently
Enable you to thrive and lead with impact
“Without Holly’s dedication and expertise we wouldn’t be where we are now.”
Tom Hall – Director of Public Health
Coaching as unique as your leadership
No two leaders are the same and you will be facing unique challenges and opportunities.
How I approach our work together will adapt depending on what you need, with three core elements:
Awareness
Building your awareness of what is happening around you, for you and for others. I meet you where you are currently, supporting you to build deeper awareness of your leadership style.
Practical
Exploring practical tools, skills and test new approaches. Together we will develop your capacity to respond differently and grow as a leader.
Root causes
Identifying underlying causes or patterns at play so you can thrive as a leader in the long term.
Our work together may incorporate resilience models, concepts and living systems and adaptive challenges, constellations, strategy development, group relations and team coaching.
Where needed, I may also explore creative and philosophical methodologies.
However we approach our work, the key is helping you to deepen your understanding of what is happening, to see more and to grow as a leader. I use models that are best suited to you and your goals.
“I am grateful for the opportunity to have been part of such an excellent programme. From being part of the co-design team to the learning from the different modules and the system challenge, I feel equipped with tools to be the best leader I can be. You made the programme interesting by the brilliant way you ran it.”

“This woman is so insightful, intelligent & smart. Our weekly, sometimes rambling, sometimes intense, phone conversations helped keep me sane, fulfilling my need to hypothesise expansively, share observations about the world and be provoked into sharpening my thinking”
Emily Sweetman – Organisational consultant, coach & facilitator
Connections
Below are some of the wonderful people I get to work with, have conversations with and support each other.
I also whole heartedly recommend them.
Emily Sweetman
This angel definitely has a smile to go with magical qualities, even if her style is much more trendy. In conversations with Emily I never fail to come to a new insight. Our gift of covid, has been weekly rambling conversations that have inspired and sustained us. She is brilliant coach and her work in supporting managers to embrace a coaching approach is helping so many and transforming teams. If you need coaching or solid OD advice Emily is my go to joy: she is fantastic.
John Atkinson
John is a brilliant system thinker and practitioner. He is special because he has a magical combination of a good thinker, has actually done the practice – its more than theory, and he’s a good soul. I have learnt much from John and he is a world leading practitioner around how to work with complex systems. Heartoftheart

The Leadership Centre
For nearly the last two decades the Leadership Centre has been at the forefront of leadership development in the public sector. I have worked with them on leadership development programmes including one of the first and most comprehensive developments of how to work across a place on a “wicked” problem like obesity, fragility, and reoffending. I have remained a contributor to the Leadership Centre in various capacities since 2006.
Canopy
Jake and Hannah from Canopy are two of my favourite people to work with, and they are Social Imagination (SI) experts. They are innovative, knowledgeable, and deeply soulful humans. We are currently working on an SI programme to look at changing stuck systemic patterns to solve deep entrenched challenges and unlock potential with local communities and organisations.
