“Working on my narrative was transformational.
Something has shifted in me.”
Nicola Wendel
Independent safeguarding consultant
I deliver 1:1 coaching and mentoring to support successful leaders, communicators and independent consultants needing a substantial shift or reframe. Through confidential one-off sessions and longer programmes, I’ll help you unpick your ideas and develop clarity, with the momentum and accountability to ensure genuine change.
Here are some issues my clients have successfully navigated through our 1:1 work:

- Addressing stress and burnout through self-awareness, resilience and balance
- Boosting relationships and confidence for more effective, enjoyable work

Mentoring

- Building digital profile boosting social media and web presence, for freelancers and independents
- Managing complex comms projects guiding experts through processes, conficts and roles
- Clarifying brand supporting leaders to explore authentic, values-based identity and profile
