Coaching, strategy & culture that gets beneath the surface.
For people & businesses ready for change.
The problem you’re trying to fix might not be the problem at all.
I help people and organisations understand what’s really going on, get beneath the symptoms and change the conditions creating them.
I’m an Accredited Coach, a strategic advisor, a B Corp Consultant and an undercover hippy.
Based in Dorset, working with people everywhere.
Systems, not symptoms
We're very good at trying to fix the thing we can see.
The workload, the team, the burnout, the bottom line but the presenting problem is rarely the real problem.
The most daring thing we can do is to get curious about what's underneath it - the beliefs, behaviours, relationships and wider conditions that keep producing the same outcomes.
Whether I'm working with one person or a whole organisation, the question is often the same: What’s really going on here?
When we look below the surface, we can change the conditions and when we do that, we change what’s possible.

Coaching. For people navigating change.
Something isn't working or maybe everything looks fine on paper but doesn't feel fine from the inside. I’m here to help.
As an Accredited Coach, I offer one-to-one coaching for people navigating change, burnout, work, life, identity, crossroads or simply figuring out what comes next.

Founder Support. Having someone in your corner.
Running a business can be lonely. You're expected to have the answers, make the decisions and somehow keep the whole thing moving.
I bring together coaching, commercial experience and strategic thinking to help you see the bigger picture, untangle challenges and move forwards with greater clarity.
-
Strategy & Culture. Daring to look below the surface.
The strategy isn't landing, growth is creating new problems & the team might be stuck so everything comes back to you. You know something needs to change but can't quite see what.
I work with founders, leaders and teams to step back, see the wider system and work out what actually needs to change.
About me…
I spent over 15 years in senior corporate roles, leading teams, building brands and navigating my way around a P&L.
But I became increasingly interested in what was happening underneath all the plans, targets and PowerPoints. Why do smart people keep repeating patterns they know aren't working? Why do strategies that make perfect sense on paper go nowhere?
So I left, retrained and built Daring Works.
Today I bring together commercial experience, Accredited Coaching, strategy, sustainability and systems thinking.
I'm interested in what makes people tick, what makes organisations work and what nature might have to teach us about both.
Corporate brain. Hippy heart. Both are useful.
