For senior people to progress, it is less about learning what to do and more about understanding who you are, how you operate and what changes you may need to make to get the results you want. Naomi takes time to get to know her clients, creating space for them to identify and challenge limiting beliefs and translate new insights into sustainable changes in performance. Described as collaborative, rigorous and open she is able to connect with individuals, building skills and confidence. Her clients value the commitment she brings and the balance of natural warmth and straight-talking which leaves them energised and determined.

With an intelligent approach and an unusual blend of curiosity, rigour and warmth, Naomi has become a sought-after coach to deliver results.

"Naomi helped me find the courage to swim among the "big sharks" with confidence, honesty and integrity. She encouraged me to anchor my leadership skills in the values that I hold dear. Then she challenged me to take greater risks to live - fully - by those values. I started having conversations with difficult people that I had been avoiding for many years; defending my decisions and protecting my team. It would have been easier to swim away but Naomi kept me afloat during a far more hazardous journey. It has been transformative, and I am stronger than ever“. (Director, Global Medical Technology Company)
