i help your best people stay.
and soar.
External mentoring & training for ambitious minds in creative agencies.
Delivered with warmth, honesty and serious commercial clout.
Your agency’s biggest asset is your people.
Your biggest risk is losing them.
The creative industries are in the middle of a talent reckoning. With ongoing skills shortages, soaring expectations from younger teams, and top talent walking toward freelance freedom or better cultures, the power has shifted. It’s an employee’s market, and if you want to keep your best people, you need to offer more than a pay rise or the promise of Beer Fridge Friday. Your team need purpose, progression and real support.
That’s where external mentoring comes in - a smart, human way to retain, grow and empower the people who power your business. As a former Client Services Director and then Head of Strategy with 25+ years of boots-on-the-ground experience in the creative industry and 12 years mentoring under my belt, I partner with agencies to mentor high-potential people (women and men) at critical career moments, helping them find clarity, confidence and momentum.
I'm not their line manager.
I’m not HR.
I’m the person they actually talk to.
I bring the empathy of a senior woman who’s been through it. The strategic brain of someone who’s shaped teams, built cultures and delivered results.
And the neutrality that makes people open up - and level up.
This isn’t soft. It’s smart.
It’s not extra. It’s essential.
And if you want your agency to grow, you need your people to grow first.
