As coaches, our priority is creating a safe space to enable
leaders and executives can get to know themselves better, to
identify and change behaviours in order to become more
effective and achieve your greatest potential.
We believe that greater self-awareness is the foundation of
understanding how you show up as a leader, how to communicate
effectively, innovate creatively, and influence successfully
in order the achieve desired results.
Working in a leadership role, at whatever level, can be a
lonely place. The value of working with a coach that
understands the complexities of executive roles, can challenge
in a positive and productive way and help unlock how to get
the best from yourself and others, is career changing.
"I immediately saw Annabel's ability to adapt, wealth of knowledge and experience.
Her warmth, kindness and encouraging approach allowed me to explore my confidence and fear of failure and her persuasive style motivated me to challenge them further. We developed techniques I could use on the day to help calm me and enable me to demonstrate my knowledge, which I continue to use.
In spite of all the courses, experience, books and revision I had done in the run up to this exam, this was without question one of the most effective things I did which led to me passing with an excellent mark. I cannot thank Annabel enough, I would recommend her without hesitation."
“Annabel gave me the time and space necessary to better understand some my professional challenges and gently coached me not only to figure out how to move forward, but also as a sounding board on my journey as I made each tentative step. She instils a confidence in you, encouraging you to believe in yourself but also to be aware of the wider impact of your leadership decisions.
Annabel is a brilliant coach, who skillfully softens your sharp edges whilst sharpening your soft ones and she does so with good humour that ensures you'll always feel comfortable working with her; just not too comfortable and that is a good thing!”
"Annabel is wonderful! I went to her feeling lost and rudderless and she was able to get to the crux of the issue with just a few insightful questions. I gained the clarity I needed much faster than anticipated.
She has a genuine desire to help people fulfil their potential, whatever that may be, allowing them to lead a life lived with purpose and meaning that truly reflects their own values and the things that are important to them.
She is kind, compassionate and generous in spirit. She is also funny and great company and it was a pleasure to spend time in her company whilst wrangling with my dilemma."
"I had the absolute pleasure of working with Annabel as part of a four-week CyberNorth aspiring leaders programme in the Northeast, where I was fortunate to have three one-to-one coaching sessions with her.
Annabel creates a space that is supportive, insightful, and genuinely empowering. Her coaching helped me reflect more deeply on my own leadership style, challenge limiting beliefs, implement new techniques from the Lencioni model and take practical steps forward with greater clarity and confidence. She has a brilliant way of guiding you to your own answers while keeping things grounded in real world outcomes.
If you’re looking for a coach who truly listens, brings a wealth of experience, and helps you unlock your potential, I can’t recommend Annabel enough. She made a real impact in a short space of time, and I’m incredibly grateful for her support.."
"I had the privilege of participating in a series of Executive Coaching Sessions with Annabel from Leading Cyber. Her extensive senior leadership experience in cyber security, and actionable advice provided me with invaluable, constructive takeaways for managing teams, strategic thinking and leading with impact.
Annabel's proactive approach in challenging me, coupled with her attentive listening and coaching, made each session highly impactful. She utilised a variety of methodologies and practical examples from her time leading technology companies to reinforce her advice and tailored our sessions to address my current needs and strategic thinking.."
"Working with Annabel has been a genuinely transformative experience. She has opened my eyes to thinking and approaching things more strategically, and has equipped me with practical tools that I now use.
Her guidance and insight have not only helped me grow in confidence, but have also shifted the way I tackle challenges and opportunities. She creates a safe, empowering space to learn and grow, and I’m incredibly grateful for the impact she’s had on my journey"
