London, Greater London, England, United Kingdom

I am a transformational coach, author and speaker.  I’m dedicated to empowering ambitious women and organisations who are making the world a better place.  I am here because I am interested in how we can create wealth sustainably in a manner that is equitable and just. I would like to be in community with people who are curious about and taking action on economics that are just. I am fascinated by the way economics contributes to systems of oppression and the way this causes harm to women and how this harm is amplified for women of the global majority. I want to expand my work so I can do more to contribute to creating a more equitable society for women especially women of the global majority (and children) as it is my belief that this will support systemic change.

If we are to achieve our goal of greater respect for our environment and the people who make up our society, we need to take action at every level. This is the reason why I decided to help companies, local authorities and organisations commit to a CSR and transition approach. Today, I offer CSR modules, seminar days and tailor-made support to get all teams involved in a comprehensive, integrated approach. After listening to Kate Raworth at a Conference, I felt that the doughnut had to be shared with as many structures as possible.
