Background
Clare enjoys working with executives to help them develop and realise their potential and aspirations. She is particularly interested in working with leaders during transition points in their careers – either to a broader role, working within a new organisation or through periods of significant change.
Clare focuses on raising self-awareness and developing strategies to help her clients move beyond their perceived limits to improve their relationships and performance, and to achieve more, more readily. She has a highly empathetic and intuitive approach to coaching which provides her with insights into her clients which allows her to challenge them in a demanding yet encouraging and supportive way.
Clare has nearly two decades experience working in investment banking as an HR Director, working for Deutsche Bank and Merrill Lynch. As an HR Business Partner, the Global Head of Learning Development Practitioners, and now as an Executive Coach, Clare has worked extensively with individuals across a variety of roles and geographies to help them optimise their performance and realise their potential.
Coaching Style
Clare has a focused, inspiring and energetic style to her coaching. She is a strong communicator and works with clients to develop a tailor-made programme which helps them pinpoint their strengths, identify areas for development and where the challenges lie. Clare brings her warm enthusiasm which motivates her coachees to maximise their potential, and reach their stretch goals which they develop as part of the programme.
“Clients describe me as having the ability to read and challenge them in a direct but very positive way. They feel safe to be open and honest, and find the process that I follow with them allows them to take stock, reflect, and grow into stronger and more effective individuals.”
