Very pleased to announce that I became a MASTER CERTIFIED COACH
with the International Coach Federation on 4 July 2024.
I hope this enables me to add even more value to you!
WELCOME
Welcome to my website - it continues to be a work in progress, like me!
I have been on this journey since my move to France and reinvention from employee to autonomy. There have been many challenges and successes and I am grateful for the many, many people who have helped me along the way. Relationships are at the heart of everything I do.
So why Leadership?
Why indeed. For most of my life I saw leaders as big characters, mostly male, dominant and great in a crisis. They looked like Churchill, Ghandi, and Mandela not people like me - a girl from North Notts! I remember becoming part of the Senior Leadership Group in the Legal Services Commission and as we went through a new programme, another woman and I spoke about our discomfort with the word 'leadership'. We both agreed that we were good managers but we didn't associate ourselves with leadership. See more...

EXECUTIVE COACHING
What is a coach? The way I describe myself is as a thinking partner. I ask questions to help your thinking on whatever subject it is, in a confidential, safe space. Maybe you have been thinking about something for a while and want to find a different perspective? Or perhaps there is a person or relationship that you want to work on to understand? Whatever it is, you want different results!
Occasionally, you have a crisis and you want to create order and calm in an overwhelmed mind. Many times, leadership can be a lonely business. Having someone unconnected with your organisation to bounce ideas off could be all that is needed. But above all, remember...
You are the expert in who you are, and the answers are within you. My role is to ask the questions

LEADERSHIP
Leadership can be a lonely business, especially when you are working on leading yourself, the hardest person to lead and motivate. Personal development is a you and you deal but it is more effective when you don't try to do it alone. Many people have been where you are now and you can shorten your journey by being in a group with like-minded people, such as the Mastermind groups I run. These are small, confidential, weekly online meetings around specific topics/books/articles all designed to inspire your next step for the week. |

SPEAKING
|
My first steps onto a bigger stage, well in fact any stage, were taken in 2012 at the John Maxwell Conference. I occasionally watch this to remind myself of where I came from and where I want to go. We all begin somewhere. If you want a speaker on the topics of leadership, equality or communication, contact me and we can see how I can add value to your organisation. |

"I had the feeling of being trapped in a golden cage of a very well paid, but ultimately unfulfilling role with which my core skills and values were no longer aligned......."
Executive, Luxembourg |
Jill guided me through the quagmire of my own disparate thoughts, and expertly got to the root cause which helped me define the central theme....
MD South Africa |
"She [Jill] is exceptionally skilled in guiding me through my own thinking to come up with solutions."
Founder & MD,, Florida |
With Jill's guidance ,I have realised that leadership isn't about being the best, being the smartest, advancing to the top to assume your rightful place . It is much more about coaching, nurturing, guiding, leading by example, and taking responsibility for developing others.
