Are you a public sector CEO or executive who wants to make a great impact in your role?

Have you got a vision of improvement for your organisation but are struggling to articulate it and take people with you on the journey?

Perhaps you’re having to tackle things that your training and experience to date hasn’t prepared you for?

Maybe the competing priorities aren’t allowing you to focus and instead you’re working in the weeds trying to stay in control?

Do you want to stop second guessing your approach and show up in a way that feels true to your personality and values?

Hi, I’m Lee…

I’m an executive coach and leadership communications strategist. I specialise in helping public sector leaders - like you - communicate with impact so they can improve organisational performance, engagement & reputation.

I'm an award winning communications and engagement director with over 20 years' experience, many of which were in the NHS. I’ve been part of executive leadership teams in some of the most complex organisations and I've supported everything from major incidents to reconfigurations, turnarounds and transformations.

I've helped organisations to develop strategies that connect and I’ve set up CEO offices and helped leaders to organise their time so they can spend it on the things that will add most value.

I know what makes the difference between mediocre and great personal leadership.

Leaders I have worked with have extraordinary stories of transformation…

✔️ Landing their first CEO roles

✔️ Navigating the legacy of predecessors

✔️ Developing organisational strategies, built through wide-ranging engagement and consultation

✔️ Transforming organisational culture and staff engagement

✔️ Rebuilding relationships with local stakeholders and communities

✔️ Improving organisational performance across key metrics

✔️ Leading system/sector-wide programmes

✔️ Being named as a top CEO in national publications

My clients enjoy working with me because I understand what it’s like to lead in the public sector. And because I don’t tell them what to do or make them change into someone full of corporate BS. Instead I genuinely work with the person to help them to achieve their goals.

Get to know some more about me…

  • My favourite cuppa is a good old Yorkshire Gold - even better with a bourbon biscuit on the side and a book in my hand - I will always have a book recommendation for you ;-)

  • I’m an introvert - I hate talking for talking sake and don’t believe ‘speaking more at meetings’ is a helpful objective

  • I love a swear-word and hate corporate BS

  • I’m over all these gurus and influencers everyone is putting up on a pedestal - affirmations alone won’t change your impact AND a person’s privilege does make a difference

  • My not-so-secret loves are Murder, She Wrote, Chas & Dave and a good old Carry On film 

  • Also… I’m not a fan of capital letters, will happily start a sentence with And or But and I’ll challenge you if you want to use long words to make your comms seem more intelligent - I believe in keeping things simple & to the point :)
