I’m passionate about leadership because I’ve seen the difference it makes - both good and bad. Most of us have experienced poor leadership at some point, and we know how deeply that can affect confidence, culture and performance. It’s often said that people don’t leave organisations, they leave poor leaders - and that belief has stayed with me throughout my career. As Commercial Director at The Institute of Leadership, I work in partnership with organisations to help them build strong, healthy leadership cultures. I focus on providing leadership support that makes a genuine difference - to individuals, to teams and ultimately to organisational results. For me, it’s about helping people be the best leaders they can be, with confidence, clarity and purpose. Because we are a charity, the work I do also ensures our charitable objectives can continue to flourish - extending our reach, advancing the science and practice of leadership, and enabling more leaders and organisations to thrive.
