About Shona

Hi, I’m Shona! I’m passionate about helping people discover their strengths, unlock their potential, and create meaningful paths in life and work. With over two decades of experience in leadership, coaching, and career development, I’ve dedicated my life to empowering others to thrive. My journey has been shaped by a love for people, a deep curiosity about what drives us, and a belief that everyone has unique gifts to offer the world. From leading teams in high-pressure environments to becoming a certified Clifton Strengths coach, I’ve learned that success is rooted in self-awareness and aligning our talents with what truly matters to us. When I’m not coaching, you’ll find me playing sports, enjoying music, and cheering for my favorite soccer team, Tottenham Hotspur. I also love traveling and learning about different cultures, which inspires the way I connect with and understand my clients. If you’re looking for a coach who will walk alongside you, champion your goals, and help you achieve lasting growth, I’d be honored to be part of your journey.

Why do I coach?

I coach because I believe in the transformative power of guidance and self-discovery. I understand what it’s like to navigate life’s challenges without much guidance or support at times. I’ve also been fortunate to find mentors and coaches who helped me uncover my strengths, navigate challenges, and find clarity during pivotal moments. Their impact inspired me to pay it forward by helping others realize their potential and build the confidence to pursue their goals. Coaching matters to me because I’ve seen firsthand how it can change lives—not just by achieving career success or personal milestones, but by fostering a deeper sense of purpose and fulfillment. It’s incredibly rewarding to watch my clients grow, gain confidence, and create meaningful changes in their lives. I coach because I want to be that trusted partner who helps you believe in yourself, overcome obstacles, and live a life aligned with your values and strengths.
