Heather Foster

Executive Coach - Hampshire & Wiltshire

When work feels demanding, coaching can help you step back, gain clarity on what matters, and move forward with purpose.

Whether you’re stepping into a new role, managing people for the first time, or simply wanting to perform with more confidence day to day, let’s identify what’s important - create some practical action.

I bring over 20 years’ experience supporting people and organisations to improve performance and develop capability, drawing on a background in HR, Change Management and Project Management.

I’m a member of the Association for Coaching and accredited as a Professional Executive Coach, so you can expect coaching that is rigorous, supportive and ethical.

What I offer
• 1:1 coaching to build confidence, make clear decisions and feel more in control at work.
• Support for new managers to establish strong people-management habits early.
• Coaching to strengthen confidence and presence, reduce self-doubt and communicate with impact.
• Time management and prioritisation for a realistic approach to workload, focus and boundaries.
• Emotional intelligence to improve relationships, handle difficult conversations and stay steady through change.
• Training, workshops and team coaching tailored to your needs.

My Approach
My coaching is warm, practical and realistic and I’m comfortable supporting you when confidence, stress or change are part of the mix. Expect sessions structured to suit your needs with practical actions to complete between sessions to support progress and accountability.

If you’ve never had coaching before we’ll take it at your pace and focus on what will make the biggest difference.

Who I work with
Over the last 7 years I have coached across a wide range of roles.
People often come to me when they are:
• Newly promoted, taking on more responsibility and wanting to feel confident from day one
• Under pressure, in the middle of change, or dealing with tricky relationships at work
• Looking for greater confidence, clarity and direction
• Looking to improve communication, boundaries and resilience
• Preparing for a step up, a promotion, or increased responsibility Coaching impact (from client feedback)
• Greater confidence and self-belief—speaking up more, feeling stronger, and showing up consistently.
• Challenging limiting beliefs—shifting long-held patterns that were holding performance back.
• Successful progression into senior roles—feeling prepared for new challenges and expectations.
• More impact and effectiveness—tackling issues and creating high-performing teams.
• Healthier ways of dealing with pressure and change—feeling steadier and more in control at work.
• Improved relationships and communication—handling difficult conversations and boundaries with more ease.
• Clearer sense of direction—knowing what matters most and taking practical steps forward between sessions.
• Coaching tailored to the individual—clients feel heard, at ease, and appropriately challenged.

How it works
I’m based on the Hampshire/Wiltshire border and work in person or online.
