Creating space for HR professionals to reflect, grow, and succeed

You came into HR because you care – about doing meaningful work, making an impact, and giving people the support they deserve. But even the most committed professionals sometimes need space to step back, rebuild confidence, strengthen influence, and feel calm and in control again. That’s where I can help.

During my HR career, I discovered a passion for coaching, which led me to retrain as a coach and set up Bright Sky HR in 2016. My qualifications include:

  • Master’s Degree in Human Resources Management (Distinction)
  • ILM Level 7 Certificate in Executive Coaching & Mentoring
  • Certified Emotions Coaching Practitioner
  • Licensed CCS Career Coach
  • Certified Group & Team Coach
  • Everything DiSC Certified Trainer
  • Certified EQ-i 2.0 and EQ 360 Practitioner

A little about my approach

Specialist

I focus entirely on supporting HR professionals. I know what it’s like to work in HR myself, and over the years I’ve learnt even more from coaching and training HR professionals, as well as from the experts and senior HR leaders I’ve interviewed on my HR Coffee Time podcast. All of that experience shapes the coaching and resources I share with you.

Supportive

My style is warm and encouraging – more cheerleader than drill sergeant. A demanding HR role can take its toll on your confidence, so I focus on building you up and creating space for you to think, reflect, and take action.

Practical

Coaching with me is about more than reflection – it’s also about results. I’ll equip you with practical strategies, frameworks, and resources you can put into action straight away. And if you need specialist input beyond my expertise, I’ll happily connect you with trusted experts from my network.

My mission

My mission is to support HR and People professionals to build the confidence, credibility, and impact they need to succeed in their roles and enjoy their careers – without burning out along the way.

To do this, I offer a mix of coaching, development, and resources created specifically for the HR community, including:

And if what you need falls outside of my expertise, I’ll always point you towards trusted resources or experts who can help.
