ABOUT me
My work brings together learning design, coaching and emotional intelligence…
The thread running through is the same: human change.
I’ve always been fascinated by how people
think, learn and grow.
My career started more than 25 years ago, in the early days of a different technological revolution that fundamentally shifted how we worked.
I spent my early twenties as an IT coach, helping people get to grips with the early days of PCs and the internet. I ran lunchtime clinics where colleagues would arrive feeling stuck and leave having figured something out that they could immediately put into action.
Watching that shift happen, the moment someone realised they could do something they could not do before, or had been scared to try, was when I knew what I was actually interested in.
Not the technology. The human change.
That thread has run through everything since.
People who work with me often talk about the energy I bring, the curiosity that drives the work, and the creative connections I make between ideas, people and possibilities.
I describe myself as a grounded optimist.
I am genuinely optimistic about people’s capacity to grow and adapt, but clear-eyed about the constraints they face and the beliefs that get in the way.
The optimism and the pragmatism belong together.
I think that comes from genuinely believing in the person in front of me, and in what becomes possible when someone is given the space, structure and support to think clearly and move forward.
How that shaped my workI realise now that I was taking a design thinking approach to learning design long before it became a common language in L&D.
For me, that has always meant starting with the human problem rather than the content.
What does the person on the receiving end actually need to think, feel and do differently?
What will help them get there?
What will make this useful in the reality of their working life?
Before founding Glint, my work spanned IT training, knowledge systems implementation and leading an award-winning digital learning project team.
In 2012, I founded Glint Learning & Coaching, building the business through relationships, repeat work and word of mouth.
Over time, I extended my practice by training as a coach and becoming a certified EQ-i 2.0 practitioner.
Coaching had always struck me as the most direct route to the kind of change that actually sticks, and it was a way of going deeper into the same question: what helps people turn insight into meaningful change?
What I bringThe clients I work with are often navigating complexity, change or capability challenges where information alone is not enough.
They need learning and development that changes how people think, relate and act in the real world.
My background spans learning design, digital learning, executive education, coaching and emotional intelligence.
Since founding Glint, I have worked with London Business School designing digital executive programmes and alumni career development, with Edinburgh Business School as a career coach, and designed online programmes and curriculum with organisations including Intuit, Virgin, Schindler and the NHS.
I hold a CIPD Level 7 qualification, Association for Coaching accreditation and EQ-i 2.0 certification.
When something shifts for one person, it does not stay contained. It moves into their team, their relationships, their organisation.
That is why this work matters to me. Small shifts, made deliberately, have a way of travelling further than anyone expects.
Why Glint?
A glint is a spark of light. A moment of recognition. A small flash that catches your attention and helps you see something differently.
Glint Learning & Coaching exists to create those moments and help turn them into something real.
