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.
“Sophie’s approach of deep questioning, backed by reference to research-based models, quickly got to the heart of the issue: my own mindset. The new mental model we developed has already borne fruit in more productive discussions around the Board table.” Customer Experience Director, Automotive 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 as it sign posts what you need to work on.
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 thanks to the brain’s neuroplasticity.
This coaching framework is the foundation.
Everything I layer on top is there to help you gain insight faster and bring structure to your thinking, drawing on models, concepts and principles across career, team, systemic coaching to leadership, culture and change.
“Sophie helped me understand my strengths, my communication style and my impact on others, and turn that awareness into real change. What I value most is feeling at peace and aligned with who I am as a leader.” Head of Marketing, Luxury Industry
What underpins this
Everything I bring draws on 35 years of business experience and 3 disciplines that together explain how people feel, think, behave and change.
We work with the brain and emotions in mind, to work smarter not harder!
“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 leadership, team work and performance.
Central to this is neuroplasticity, your brain’s natural ability to learn, adapt and rewire itself, which makes lasting change possible.
Emotional Intelligence:
To understand, learn and master over time the 10 competencies to stay confident and calm under pressure, make better decision, lead others effectively through positive relationships, and navigate a complex, changing world with optimism and resilience.
Central to this are our emotions, they are messengers, enablers not obstacles. Learning to work with our e-motions is transformative as they are, quite literally, energy in motion.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT):
To identify the unconscious beliefs and thinking patterns that hold you back, and replace them with conscious ones, so you can be intentional about how you decide, lead, and show up at work.
