About Sharon
I am an ICF accredited and award-winning Executive Coach, supporting and developing individuals and teams to be their best selves and thrive in their careers. With a career at one of the world’s top business schools, I have acquired best practice experience and a deep understanding of the challenges professionals face, along with a proven track record of elevating their performance and success. I was latterly the Manager of the Strategy & Entrepreneurship Department and a recipient of the Distinguished Contribution Staff Award for Excellence in Coaching and People Management. I coach professionals in the UK and Internationally in industries ranging from Education and Law to Management Consulting & Investment Banking. An advocate for a people-centric, and inclusive workplace culture, I work with my clients to navigate successful career paths, enhance management and leadership skills, and increase confidence and soft skills. My coaching provides a safe, confidential and non-judgemental space for individuals and teams to develop their full potential, improve their effectiveness and interpersonal relationships and take actionable direction. I also deliver workshops on ‘Confidence & Soft Skills’, ‘Bringing your Best-Self to Work`, ‘Work/Life Balance’ & ‘Enhancing Team Engagement’ to bridge human connections in our climate of remote and hybrid working. I am passionate about coaching and would love to support you with your personal and professional development and career success.
Why do I coach?
I am a coach because I was fortunate to have been coached and mentored by a world class Guru and Professor of Strategy & International Management. His name was Sumantra Ghoshal and he did two PhD's at once because one wasn't challenging enough for him in two different countries and completed them both in 2 years. His IQ was phenomenal and throughout the 10 years I worked with him he recognised that my superpower was my high EQ so together we were a winning team. He relied on me to hire the right staff, coach them to success and develop managers and leaders and MBA students to perform at their best. I was also a recipient of the Distinguished Staff Contribution Award for Excellence in Coaching and People Management. Sumantra has now passed away but I would love to honour his legacy and use my coaching skills to make a difference in this world and support people to be their best selves at work, study and life.
