Executive Coaching for Senior Women Leaders and Founders
Book a confidential intro call to talk through where you are, and how coaching could help you move into your next stage of leadership, career or business.
Twenty years in senior leadership, including running a business inside a £3.5bn organisation
Before coaching, I spent over twenty years as a senior executive leader at WPP, including running my own business within their £3.5bn organisation. That experience shapes how I work with the leaders, founders and business owners I coach today, combining deep coaching with real commercial and strategic experience, moving between both to give clients what they need and drive real growth.
I work with senior women leaders and founders across every sector, including technology, SaaS, finance, law and media, in corporate businesses and running their own, from start-ups to global PLCs. I partner directly with organisations including Flutter, Dyson, Fanatics, Little Journey, Hayhurst & Co, leading Universities, and privately coach senior leaders across organisations including the BBC, Barclays, Sky, L'Oréal, Meta, Pinsent Masons, Accenture and UBS.
Who I Work With
I work with senior women leaders, executives, founders, CEOs and business owners navigating transitions, bigger roles and growing responsibility, from C-suite progression and board level impact to leading through change, driving growth, complex stakeholder dynamics and high stakes decisions. I meet you where you are, whether that's working through a live leadership challenge in real time, or helping you think strategically about what's next for your business and career.
What Clients Achieve
Many clients come to me feeling overwhelmed, unsure or at a crossroads, second guessing decisions and judgement they'd normally trust without question. Coaching gives them the clarity, confidence, strategic thinking and practical advice to move forward with impact.
That leads to :
Confidence, self trust and moving beyond imposter beliefs
Strategic clarity and stronger, faster decision making
Stronger influence with senior stakeholders and boards
Navigating difficult conversations with confidence
Steadier leadership through complexity, change and transition
Clearer direction and confidence in next-stage growth decisions
Progression into more senior, C-suite or board level roles
Greater visibility and positioning at a senior level
Building high performing, engaged teams
What Clients Say
“Danielle has been instrumental in helping me launch a completely new part of my business at the age of 45. I've always been confident in myself and my decisions, but as I moved into my 40s, I found myself second-guessing things. Danielle helped me shift my mindset, rebuild that belief in myself, and truly see that I can make this next chapter a success. She understands the realities of leadership and entrepreneurship, not just the theory. I've worked with a number of coaches over the years, and Danielle is absolutely the best. I honestly can't recommend her highly enough."
— Lauren, CEO, UKL
“Working with Danielle has been life changing. A friend recommended her so strongly I got in touch. She is a world class coach with deep experience in business and leadership, and I often found myself second guessing my judgement and not feeling fully seen or heard at senior level. Through our work, I have built genuine confidence in my decisions, learned how to navigate difficult situations with more ease, and increased the impact I have across the business. As a result, I've secured a C-Suite role and now lead with far greater confidence, impact and earning potential."
— Lucy, Chief Operating Officer
How Coaching Works
Coaching is shaped entirely around you, moving between coach, sounding board and strategic partner, combining deep coaching with real commercial and strategic experience, whatever you need in the moment, alongside longer-term support around your goals, transitions, vision and strategic thinking.
Sessions might include real-time leadership challenges and decisions, developing leadership skills, behaviours and confidence, deciding what's next in your career or how to have greater impact, and business strategy and vision, from preparing for a board or investor conversation to working through pricing, positioning or your next stage of growth. Where useful, I'll also bring honest challenge, strategic perspective and practical guidance, drawing on my own senior leadership and commercial background, so you're not left to work it all out alone.
I work with clients globally through virtual sessions, with face to face sessions available in Leeds, UK. The structure and pace are shaped around you, we'll agree what works best when we talk it through on your first call.
For senior leaders, executives and founders navigating their next stage of leadership, career or business.
