Cut through complexity to reach clarity

I'm an experienced and qualified executive coach and have coached many senior leaders in the UK and internationally.  I first discovered coaching when I was at AMV.BBDO and had just been promoted to head up the strategic planning department.  The coaching I received in that role was fantastically helpful and it also made me realise this was the job I had been designed to do.  I also train people in a variety of management and leadership skills and I facilitate at leadership team away days.   A major strength across all areas of my work is an ability to cut through complexity to reach clarity.

'I would recommend Mia wholeheartedly to anyone who is ambitious enough to want to be world class at their job, but who is modest enough to realise that they might get there faster with someone else's help'

Jim Moffatt, Senior Director, Apple Europe

  • Untangle complexities

  • Generate ideas

  • Establish buy-in

'Mia is an iron fist in a velvet glove.  She provides rigour and order and clear outputs and actions.  She does it with charm and flair, but is resolutely focused on the outcome.  She is class'
