Leadership Guide

Over the last twenty years I have explored the many facets of leadership with thousands of

people. My work has included teaching, facilitating mentoring and coaching.

As I continue to reduce the amount I do, my work is now focused around two distinct areas:

Teaching the principles of authentic leadership to younger leaders, inspiring and enabling

them to find their voice and build a better world.

Working with more senior leaders to build an Inspire & Enable leadership culture in teams

and organisations that will unleash potential and deliver amazing results.

I facilitate a Facebook group called Lead! Community, a place where like-minded leaders can

share their challenges and experiences, seek help and advice, network, build alliances and

share and discuss leadership material.

I run public leadership programmes based on my book, ‘Lead Like Mary.’ These are delivered

remotely, over a six week period, exploring leadership principles and Mary’s traits.

Participants are sent material weekly, including a podcast and reflective exercises, to work

through in their own time and then join fellow participants for a one hour discussion

exploring the week’s material.

I chair a charity, the Osprey Leadership Foundation, established by Dr Tim Mackrill. We

work with younger people from different cultures and contrasting backgrounds to inspire

them about the natural world and enable them to develop into conservation leaders making

a difference locally, nationally and internationally.

We run school educational programmes, a Becoming a Conservation Leader programme and

Evolving Conservation Leaders, an innovative cohort of conservationists early in their

careers, providing networking, development and mentoring opportunities.

I have a number of both voluntary and paid mentoring and coaching relationships, choosing

to work primarily with younger authentic leaders who want to make a difference to the

world around them. Every assignment is different and all are rewarding.
