Marketing Expert | Passionate Philanthropist | Former Lawyer | Working Out What's Next 🤘

I would like to think that people will remember me as a nice bloke, who did nice things.

And those nice things are:

- Talking. Think Radio, TV, Events, Podcasts, Lecturing, etc.
- Charity. No one has ever become poor from giving.
- Birmingham. I'm proud to consistently champion this city.

And those nice things were:

- Marketing. Web, digital, social media.
- Law. I genuinely still can't believe that I was an actual lawyer.
- Consultancy. Non-Exec. Board Member. Advisor.

And I've done a lot more bits and bobs.

My main focus currently is:

Radio and broadcasting with the BBC.
Hosting and public speaking through my own business.
And charity (which will always be voluntary).

But I can always do some of the other bits if you think I could help you.

Leadership Positions

You’re a senior leader, executive, or CEO delivering results on paper but feeling the weight of constant change, relentless pressure & growing uncertainty…

And if you're honest, you’re tired
Your energy isn’t where it used to be
Your confidence wavers more than you’d like to admit
Some days, you wonder if you can keep performing at this level without burning out

You're in the right place

HOW I HELP
I help executives & senior leaders thrive under pressure, lead with clarity & create sustainable success - personally & professionally

Through my Resilience-Led Leadership™ framework, I combine executive coaching, leadership development & data-driven insight - with resilience at the centre.

When leaders strengthen their resilience, everything becomes easier:
- Reconnecting with purpose & leading with confidence
- Making sharper decisions under pressure
- Sustaining energy & focus without burnout
- Enhancing presence, influence & impact
- Leading teams & organisations with clarity

This isn’t about teaching you to “do more”
It’s about helping you lead better, with purpose, calm & confidence

WHAT CLIENTS SAY
Many leaders I work with arrive exhausted, stuck or disconnected from their impact
After coaching, they report:
✅ Greater clarity on purpose, priorities & vision
✅ Stronger confidence & presence in high-stakes situations
✅ Improved energy & focus - without longer hours
✅ Better relationships, aligned teams & healthier cultures

“I came to Marie at breaking point. Now, I feel calmer, clearer & more in control than I have in years.”  Director, Professional Services

WHY RESILIENCE-LED LEADERSHIP™?
Most leadership coaching focuses on skills. I focus on what sustains you

Resilience-Led Leadership™ puts resilience at the heart of leadership development, because no matter how skilled or experienced you are, if you’re depleted, your impact suffers

My coaching integrates:
🌿 Leadership Development - clarity of purpose, strategy & influence
🧠 Resilience-Led Leadership™ Framework - a proven model placing resilience at the centre of sustainable leadership
📊 Data + Insight - including tools such as ResilienceBuilder® & Motivational Maps® for measurable results

Since 2014, I’ve coached 500+ senior leaders & executives across a variety of sectors, helping them unlock potential, navigate complexity & thrive without burning out

Move from surviving to thriving
