About me
Leadership Coach - Bristol
I have over 30 years of working with leaders, developing their leadership capabilities through the delivery of training programs and one to one coaching. Throughout my career I have worked in HR and Learning & Development roles in the Health Services, Transport and Retail and for the last 20 years I have run my own business working with a variety of organisations. I am a graduate and hold an MSc in Management Development & Organisational Change, I am qualified with the ILM Level 7 Certificate in Executive Coaching and Mentoring and I am an Accredited Coach at Senior Practitioner Level with the EMCC.
Not only do I coach managers, I also train coaches in ILM Level 3 and ILM Level 5 Qualifications in Effective Coaching and Mentoring. This means that I am well versed in coaching techniques and current thinking.
I have coached managers at all levels and my strengths are:-
• Coaching leaders who are facing challenges because of the scale and complexity of their work or because of performance issues within the team. I use my in-depth knowledge of leadership models, tools and techniques, to help my clients discover more about themselves and their leadership style.
• Coaching people who need to develop their levels of resilience and mental toughness and help them to discover ways of building more robust strategies which enable them to feel more able to cope in their role and flourish.
• Coaching people through career changes, helping them to find new ways forward with work and work-life balance.
• Coaching people with Neurodiversity, offering Workplace Strategy Coaching to develop techniques to help them find ways of working at their best.
I am known for quickly building rapport with my clients and establishing effective working relationships. My coaching style can vary from nurturing and supportive to challenging, depending on the needs of the client and the situation. I use insightful questions and effective coaching behaviours and techniques to help clients unpack their thoughts so that they can identify new ways of moving forward to achieve their goals.

I can’t thank Sandra enough for her incredible help and guidance. She helped me reset my perspective on key challenges I was facing and provided practical tips and tools that I now use in my everyday work. Her guidance and patience have been invaluable. I truly enjoyed our sessions and appreciated having the space to reflect and reassess. Thank you again, Sandra, for your support!

Sandra is a great coach. In a short space of time she enabled me to think through elements of the decision I was making that I hadn't thought about before. She is supportive and clear and you feel gently held through the whole process, as well as challenged in the right kind of way. I'm guessing that comes from the wealth of experience and knowledge she brings to coaching. Charlie, Head of Wellbeing and Communities
