ABOUT ME
For more than 30 years I have been working in television, helping to develop ideas, nurture talent and bring programmes to the screen. My roles included being the BBC's first Controller of Comedy Commissioning and Head of Comedy at Sky.
The part of the job I loved most was always working with people.
Whether helping a writer shape a script, supporting a producer through a creative challenge or developing emerging talent, I was fascinated by what helps people fulfil their potential and do their best work.
Over time, that interest has led me beyond television. I trained with Animas and gained a Diploma in Transformative Coaching, allowing me to combine professional coaching with the mentoring and talent development I had been doing for much of my career.
Like many of my clients, I've experienced my fair share of change. Alongside television, I've launched a business, worked as a consultant and headhunter, developed a portfolio career, raised a family and, more recently, dedicated more time to my own creative practice as an artist.
One of the most important lessons I've learned is that reinvention doesn't have an expiry date. It's never too late to develop a new skill, pursue a creative ambition or take your career in a different direction.
Today my work has two strands.
I mentor comedy writers, helping them develop scripts, strengthen ideas and navigate the television industry.
I also coach professionals, creatives and entrepreneurs who are exploring change, seeking greater fulfilment or considering what they want from the next chapter of their lives and careers.
Whether we're working together on a script, a career decision or a new direction, my approach is warm, practical and collaborative.
I'd be delighted to arrange an introductory conversation to discuss how I might be able to help.
