Leadership Coaching
Empowering leaders to create healthier, more productive teams.
Great leadership isn’t just about managing people… it’s about understanding them.
Every team is made up of individuals with different strengths, working styles, and nervous systems. And when leaders know how to support those differences, especially neurodiverse brains, they unlock better communication, more trust, and stronger results.
Here’s the thing: high performance doesn’t have to come from pressure.
It comes from people feeling well… physically, mentally, and emotionally. As a leadership coach, certified master health coach and mental health coach with a background in leadership, team development and lived experience of neurodiversity, I help leaders create environments where wellbeing and mental fitness are part of the culture, not just an EAP tick-box.
When you support your team’s bodies, minds and ways of working, you get people who actually want to show up and do their best.
That’s where Leadership Coaching comes in.
Leadership Coaching that works for real people
It's about valueing and taking a strengths based approach… especially in high-stress or neurodiverse environments.
Whether you're managing a start-up, a government team, or a creative department full of brilliant thinkers, I offer people-first coaching, and workshops, to help you lead with confidence, adaptability, and empathy.
Through leadership coaching or tailored workshops, I empower leaders to...
✔ Understand and support diverse working styles – From ADHD to sensory sensitivities, recognising how your team works helps unlock collaboration and avoid burnout.
✔ Improve emotional intelligence and resilience – Learn how movement, sleep, mindset, connection, and even nutrition affect workplace performance. You can’t lead effectively when you or your team are running on empty.
✔ Strengthen leadership presence – Build a confident style that connects to earn trust, even in tough conversations.
✔ Create psychologically safe spaces – Reduce stress and foster innovation by supporting the whole person.
What I bring to the table
I’ve spent time in the trenches facilitating leadership coaching and training, team development, stress proofing, and conflict management. I’ve led frontline teams, coached managers, and trained staff in customer service, systems, and health and safety across both private and government sectors.
Before returning to coaching, facilitation, and the health and wellness industry, I ran a boutique business as a private chef, cooking for high-profile clients with complex needs, and led teams in fast-paced creative environments and in events management. I’m also a Chakra Therapist, training under Anodea Judith, which includes somatic practices. This helps me bring an added depth to leadership wellbeing work, especially around nervous system regulation and burnout prevention.
With multiple Outward Bound experiences under my belt and 20+ years in leadership, communication, and project management, I bring a large skills and techniques toolbox, deep empathy, and a no-fluff approach to helping leaders show up fully, and help others do the same.
What others say:
"Elizabeth has a calm yet powerful presence. She helped me see how to lead my team in a way that worked with their strengths rather than against their stress. She's warm, grounded, and gets what it’s really like in the day-to-day pressure of managing people."
Team Leader, Public Sector
"Her approach is thoughtful, inclusive and deeply practical. I walked away with clarity, confidence, and tools I could actually use the next day. And I’ve never seen my team so engaged!"
Corporate Webinar Participant
"She just gets people. I’ve worked with a lot of leadership coaches, but Elizabeth’s ability to connect real workplace challenges with wellbeing, energy and mindset? That’s something else."
