My purpose is to help ambitious, high-potential individuals and teams find their own unique way to thrive.
I am passionate about the transformative effect on both performance and wellbeing of values-driven behaviour.
The most powerful people - and the highest performing teams - are those who live authentically and with purpose. They are those whose behaviours and values align. People like this create security, inspiration and transformation as leaders.
These are the leaders the world needs.
But how do new or emerging leaders find their way? Who are their mentors? Where can they safely explore their potential without making career-damaging mistakes?
I set up Go Thrive Coaching to use my balance of judgement, empathy, skill and experience to help individuals and teams thrive. I work closely with clients as they dig deep to find their authentic self, their purpose and find a way to show up. I believe that only by showing up as we truly are, can we reach our potential to create powerful impact.
There is no single defining moment which brought me to create Go Thrive Coaching.
My personal journey through a 20-year career in a corporate environment - initially as a management consultant and latterly as an executive coach - is punctuated with moments of difficulty and growth. All of which I have navigated with varying levels of skill - ultimately finding positive ways to be me, let my voice be heard and deliver high performance.
I’ve been the ‘only person’ in many situations – only woman, only non-white, only parent, only non-parent, only non-skier. I bring this experience; my authentic self; my innate empathy and more than 3,000 hours as an Executive Coach to support you in your journey to personal and career transformation.
"Grace’s work exceeded my expectations. I arrived with very specific leadership issues as well as a range of career development decisions. Grace’s thought-provoking questions helped me look beyond immediate concerns, to reflect and connect the dots across my life - my values, my experiences from both personal and working life – I reached a fresh perspective and answers and solutions to my initial questions and issues became clear in a way which resonated with me.
I highly recommend Grace at Go Thrive as an Executive Coach."
“Grace’s approach was perfect for me. She is a highly skilled and experienced Executive Coach, bringing a calm and positive confidence to the sessions. Grace is fully present and creates a safe, supportive place for clients to explore sometimes complex situations which can cross both career and personal life.
Something I found particularly useful was the perspective Grace brought from her work with others. I came out of my coaching with real clarity, and have been able to define some important goals and see a way forward. Thank you so much Grace!”
"Executive coaching with Grace, has been one of the best investments I have made. I recommend Grace to anyone looking for a skilled, empathic and experienced coach. The sessions were invaluable in building my confidence during a pivotal point in my career. Grace asked the right questions; drawing out the answers I needed. I made such progress during those sessions both in terms of my career planning work and also from a personal growth perspective.”
Before becoming an Executive Coach I worked for more than 15 years' across healthcare sectors in London and the US. My roles included corporate development for a VC-backed medical device company and management consulting - working with Steering Committees and Executive Committees of pharmaceutical companies.
Consultations can be via zoom or in-person at my coaching practice in central London.
