Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if coaching is right for me?

You're ready for coaching if you're working evenings and weekends, constantly firefighting, and wondering where your day disappeared.

If you're successful on paper but leadership is consuming your life - and you want to finish work on time and get your life back - coaching will help you shift from reactive patterns to intentional leadership.

You are ready to challenge your thoughts, feelings and behaviours and open to creating change in your approach. 

As your coach, I am your thinking partner.  My role is to ask you questions to help you see different perspectives and different options and find ways forward that work for you.  As a trainer, my role is to teach you frameworks and mechanisms that help you to increase your knowledge and skills.  

​

What can I expect from coaching with Zoë?

You'll receive high-impact coaching designed to help you transform from reactive to intentional leadership using my PIIPS Framework™ - a methodology I've developed and refined through 20 years of police leadership, competing internationally in strongwoman, and building my business.

​

As an Accredited Master Coach with the Association for Coaching and NLP Master Practitioner, I bring both formal expertise and real-world experience to every session. This will help you identify the reactive patterns keeping you stuck, shift the mindset and behaviours driving them, and build sustainable systems that protect your time and energy.

Sessions are practical, direct, and results-focused, tailored to your specific challenges.

 

Who is this for?

My coaching is for leaders who are successful on paper but stuck in reactive patterns. You're working evenings, constantly firefighting, tied to your phone, and sacrificing the life you're working so hard to build.

This works whether you're leading a team in an organisation or running your own business.

The reactive patterns are the same - and so is the transformation.

​

What's the difference between reactive and intentional leadership?

Reactive leadership is firefighting by default.

Your day is consumed by everyone else's urgent. You're the go-to problem-solver instead of developing problem-solvers. You're working evenings because strategic work gets pushed aside by tactical firefighting.

​

Intentional leadership is leading by design.

You finish work on time. You develop your team instead of solving everything yourself. You protect time for strategic work. You lead with clarity and control instead of constantly reacting.

The shift from reactive to intentional isn't about working harder or better time management. It's about identity-level transformation - changing the habits, behaviours, and mindsets that created the reactive patterns in the first place.

​

How long does coaching last?

Coaching is available at different levels depending on your needs:

• 8-week transformation programme - Structured approach implementing the complete PIIPS Framework (available as group or 1:1)

• Ongoing 1:1 coaching - Tailored support for longer-term transformation

• VIP Strategy Day - Intensive full-day session for accelerated clarity and action plan

We'll work together to choose the right approach for your goals and situation.

​

What makes your approach different?

My approach is identity-led, not just action-focused. Using the PIIPS Framework™, we work on who you need to become to create the results you want, not just what you need to do. This creates sustainable transformation because it's rooted in identity shifts, not temporary behaviour changes.

​

I coach from theory and experience. I coach from 20 years of leading teams in high-pressure environments where reactive firefighting was the default - and I've done the work to transform those patterns myself.

I know what it takes to shift from working late to finishing on time, from being everyone's problem-solver to developing problem-solvers, from reactive to intentional.

You get both the lived experience and the proven frameworks that make it repeatable.

​

How quickly will I see results?

Most clients experience clarity and shifts in perspective within the first few sessions.

The 8-week programme is designed to create meaningful transformation in that timeframe and create a blueprint that keeps the momentum and transformation going for long after the programme ends.

This isn't about quick fixes. We focus on building the foundation for lasting change. You'll start reclaiming time within weeks; the real transformation happens as new habits and behaviours become your new default.

​

Your results will reflect your commitment to the process and implementation of the frameworks we develop together.

​

Do you work with people internationally?

Yes, all individual coaching is delivered online, making it accessible wherever you are. I work with leaders across the UK and globally.
