You’re Not Just a Scientist Anymore. You’re a Leader.
Moving from technical expert to organisational leader can feel overwhelming - especially in a high-stakes, fast-moving environment like pharma. This coaching programme gives you the support, tools, and clarity to lead with confidence and purpose.
Trusted by professionals in quality assurance, clinical research, and pharmaceutical leadership.
Clarity in Your Direction
You’ll stop second-guessing your value and start leading with purpose. Coaching helps you define what kind of leader you want to be — and how to grow into that identity without losing what makes you effective.
Confidence in Complex Conversations
Whether you're managing up, influencing cross-functional teams, or navigating stakeholder politics, you’ll develop the tools to speak up, be heard, and lead with authority — even when the path isn’t clear.
Calm Under Pressure
The demands of pharma leadership don’t go away — but coaching equips you to meet them with composure, resilience, and focus. You’ll find more energy, clearer thinking, and better boundaries.
When the Promotion Comes Before the Preparation
Many emerging leaders in science and pharma are promoted into leadership roles without the support they need to thrive.
You might find yourself:
Second-guessing your decisions or avoiding visibility
Struggling to balance technical depth with big-picture strategy
Feeling responsible for your team’s outcomes but unsure how to influence or guide them
Navigating conflict or stakeholder politics with no roadmap
Wondering if you’re actually cut out for this
You’re not alone. These challenges are common - and solvable
This Programme Helps You Lead with Clarity and Confidence
This isn’t generic leadership coaching. It’s tailored for professionals in science and pharmaceutical environments where the stakes are high, the pace is fast, and the structures aren’t always clear.
You’ll work 1:1 with a qualified coach who understands the realities of pharma R&D and QA culture. Together, we’ll build your leadership mindset, skillset, and confidence.
What’s Included:
6 one-to-one coaching sessions over 12 weeks
Personalised focus areas based on your current challenges
Practical tools to manage uncertainty, build influence, and set direction
Flexible scheduling to fit around a demanding role
What We'll Work on Together
Every leadership journey is different — and so is every coaching relationship. What we focus on will depend entirely on your goals, challenges, and priorities.
That said, here’s what a typical coaching structure might look like:
SESSION
Clarify Your Leadership Vision
We start by identifying what matters to you, where you want to grow, and what you’d like to gain from coaching. This forms the foundation of our work together.
SESSION
Building Influence & Confidence
Communicate with authority, manage upwards, and navigate stakeholder dynamics with greater impact.
SESSION
Leading Under Pressure
Gain tools to stay calm and effective when dealing with complexity, uncertainty, and interpersonal tension.
SESSION
Prioritising What Matters
Learn how to make clearer decisions, protect your time, and align your focus with what really moves the needle.
SESSION
Developing Your Leadership Identity
Move beyond imposter syndrome and step into a leadership style that feels authentic and sustainable.
SESSION
Reflect, Embed, and Plan Forward
We’ll look back on your coaching journey, celebrate growth, and reflect on how to sustain your progress beyond the sessions - with clarity, confidence, and intention.
You Don’t Need to ‘Fix’ Yourself. You Just Need the Right Support.
Built for Pharma
Designed for the unique demands of pharma and scientific work – not generic corporate advice.
Focused and Personal
Tailored to your role, challenges, and ambitions – no one-size-fits-all frameworks.
Confidential and Non-Judgemental
A space to think out loud, challenge assumptions, and find your own path to leadership.

Frequently Asked Questions
Not sure what to expect from coaching? You're not alone.
What kind of roles is this programme for?
I coach clients from a wide range of roles, from CEOs to individuals looking to supercharge their career progression. This specific programme is ideal for professionals in pharma, QA, R&D, or regulatory roles stepping into leadership or strategic responsibility.
Is this coaching or training?
This is coaching. That means we work together on what matters most to you - not a pre-set curriculum or team activity. Through structured reflection, thoughtful questioning, and goal-focused dialogue, we explore your challenges, aspirations, and decision-making, so that the insights and actions come from you, not from me telling you what to do.
It’s worth noting that the term coaching is often used quite loosely. You may have experienced something labelled as coaching in the past - a motivational workshop, team-building event, or HR-led performance review session - and come away feeling unconvinced or unchanged. That’s understandable. This is different. Professional coaching, as I practise it, is grounded in internationally recognised coaching principles. It’s confidential, non-directive, and focused on helping you unlock your own clarity and direction.
If you’ve had a disappointing experience in the past, I invite you to approach this with fresh eyes - many of my clients felt the same at the start.
When do sessions take place?
You’ll book your coaching sessions directly through my online platform, choosing times that suit your schedule. All sessions are delivered live and remotely via secure video conferencing - typically Microsoft Teams - so you can join from wherever works best for you.
If you're unable to find a quiet, suitable space during standard working hours, early morning or evening sessions may be available by request. I want you to get the most from each session, and that starts with being in the right environment to focus and reflect.
What if I’m not sure coaching is right for me?
