For 20 years, I sat in the rooms where the big decisions were made. As a Director in high-pressure agencies, my focus was on building high performing teams, billable hours, client retention, and hitting targets.

But I saw a recurring pattern that cost us money. We would spend years grooming brilliant women for leadership, only for them to disappear the moment life hit a transition—maternity, menopause, or a career pivot.

HR would offer help recruiting new team members. I realised  what we really needed was a connector to help them find more support for the women and understand what they needed before they left. 

I founded The Career Couch because professional services firms don't need more policies; they need a strategic bridge. I don't coach your staff. I use my Director-level lens to identify the gaps in your culture and then I bring in the specialist experts to fix them. I speak your language, I understand your P&L, and I’m here to stop your best talent from walking out the door.
