My work is built around the three pillars for fulfilment and performance: being in the right role, strong leadership and high performing and human-centred culture.
Everything I do is brain-based and people-centric, so the change sticks.
” I’m driven by nature, but a period of self-doubt following feedback from my manager made me question myself particularly around my listening and influencing skills. Sophie helped me understand my strengths, my communication style and the impact I have on others and translate that awareness into real change. I met all my coaching goals. But what I value most is that I left feeling at peace and aligned with who I am as a leader” — Head of Marketing, Luxury Industry
Framework
Understand: Build self-awareness.
In a brain-friendly space, I help you understand your emotions, beliefs, behaviours and the patterns that support or hold you back.
Self-awareness is the foundation for everything that follows.
Rewire: Build new neural pathways.
This is where insight becomes action.
You define new options, experiment with different behaviours and build habits that serve you.
Each repetition strengthens the neural connection.
Perform: Embed lasting change.
Through repetition, new habits become your new default mode.
“Sophie helped me adapt effectively to my new role, build confidence about my abilities, develop new skills and effectively deal with a series of significant management and organisational changes. I now feel more resilient and better equipped to deal with unexpected hurdles and to ‘bounce back’ with solutions.” Planning Partner – Advertising industry
What underpins this
Everything I bring draws on 35 years of experience and 3 disciplines that together explain how people feel, think, behave and change.
“When I compared star performers with average ones in senior leadership positions, nearly 90% of the difference in their profiles was attributable to emotional intelligence.” — Daniel Goleman.
Neuroscience:
To understand the brain principles that shape performance..
Central to this is neuroplasticity, your brain’s natural ability to learn, adapt and rewire itself, which is what makes lasting change possible.
Emotional intelligence:
To build across 3 interconnected pillars (understanding yourself, relating effectively to others and navigating a complex and changing world) through 10 competencies that you can learn and master.
Central to this are our emotions, they are enablers not obstacles. Learning to work with your e-motions is transformative as they are, quite literally, energy in motion.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT):
To identify unconscious, unhelpful beliefs and thinking patterns and shift them towards conscious ones that drive positive results.
“Working with Sophie was revolutionary for myself, my team, and my business. Across the year, she helped me work through anxieties that were holding me back professionally and, consequently, holding back the business. I can see the tangible benefits that her support has had and I would highly recommend her coaching.” Finalist of the Centre for Entrepreneurs – CVC Young Innovator Award winner 2019; London Tech Week Elevating Founders winner 2021; Innovate UK Smart Grant recipient 2022; Innovate UK Women in Innovation recipient 2022; Innovate UK Inclusive Innovation recipient 2023
