IN PRACTICE
CONTACT
Maybe something feels stuck; in your life, your work, or yourself. Maybe you’re leading something and the weight of it is getting heavier. Maybe you’re building something and you need someone to think alongside you. Maybe you’re a practitioner who needs a space with someone that really gets the kind of work you do. Maybe you’re an organisation that knows something needs to change but isn’t sure where to start. Maybe you’re looking to bridge the gap between your values and your practice.
[ LEADERSHIP ALONGSIDE ]
I know from experience that leading can be lonely at times. Particularly when you’re building something new, doing it differently, or carrying the weight of the communities you’re a part of and/or that look to you.
I offer leadership alongside for people who are setting something up, early in their leadership journey, or navigating a significant moment of change or transition. This is not coaching in the conventional sense.

I founded and led Partisan for five and a half years; building an organisation from the ground up, growing it to an annual turnover of over £600k, navigating funders, boards, staff, community accountability, and the particular complexity of leading a Black-led organisation in a sector that wasn’t always designed for us. I closed it with as much care and integrity as I could when the time came. That experience (the building, collaborating, leading, and the ending) is what I bring to this work.

LEADERSHIP ALONGSIDE
I work particularly well with:
• Black and minoritised leaders navigating predominantly white spaces and institutions
• People setting up community organisations, social enterprises, or purpose-led ventures
• Early career leaders in the community, voluntary, and social sector
• Leaders at a moment of transition; starting something, ending something, or figuring out what comes next
• Activists building movements or campaigns who need a thinking space and someone to stand alongside

Sessions are conversational, honest, and grounded in your specific context. I’m not interested in generic frameworks or leadership models that weren’t designed with you in mind. I’m interested in you, what you’re building, what’s getting in the way, what you need to think through, and what kind of support will actually help.
Sessions are typically 50 minutes, held fortnightly or monthly depending on what works for you. I work online and in person.
We would begin with an initial conversation to explore what you’re looking for and whether working together feels like the right fit.
