There are five primary ways for us to work together:

For CEOs who want to lead strategically and sustainably, supported by an experienced accountability partner, strategic advisor, and leadership specialist.
Comprehensive support that is a blend of advisory, leadership profiling, coaching and on-tap support when complex situations arise.
Fit-for-purpose profiling for aware, adaptive leaders.
360s, behavioural styles, personality profiles and leadership assessments for individuals and teams, for recruitment, awareness, alignment and development.
For executives and senior leaders ready to step into their strategic leadership potential while managing the unique pressures of purpose and people driven organisations.
Build your presence, confidence, and ability to influence up and across.
Whether you're a CEO or a senior leader - you're leading something that matters and you care deeply about.
But right now, you or your leaders are caught responding to relentless operational demands instead of leading strategically and sustainably. While you juggle urgent requests, your strategic initiatives gather dust.
What I see again and again in my work is leaders asking themselves: "What's the next best move when everything feels important?"
You're fitting everything in, but it’s a constant rush that’s costing you. The inner doubt is getting louder: "Am I doing enough? Should we be further ahead? Can we sustain this pace?"
You're not the problem. Your leaders aren’t the problem. You're all intelligent, capable and committed, but you're stuck between trying to lead well, respond to others’ needs, get things done and manage multiple demands at once.
And when you're stressed and stretched, it’s hard to be your best and focus on what matters most.
I work with leaders who want to step back from the chaos and get clear on what will move their career, leadership and organisation forward.
My clients say I seem to get to the heart of things quickly. That's because I understand the intersection between people, business, thinking and operating from having worked with thousands of leaders for over 20 years.
Many of the leaders and organisations I work with are in complex, evolving environments which require a strategic, objective and experienced perspective to connect the dots across strategy, leadership, people, structure, communications and culture, to clarify the way forward.
What I know from this work is that the most capable leaders often doubt themselves the most and have huge potential to feel more satisfied and impactful.
My role is to help you to be your best, take decisive action to lead strategically and sustainably.
The ability to adapt is what separates leaders who thrive from those who survive.
An Adaptive Leadership approach enables leaders to navigate constant change, complexity and uncertainty with clarity and confidence.
The ADAPT approach recognises that adative, strategic and sustainable leadership requires five interconnected elements:
1.Awareness to understand and action your strengths, defaults, organisational and external insights.
2. Deliberate planning, direction and iterative action on what matters most.
3. Adaptive communication, leadership and work practices that flex to your context.
4. Purposeful prioritisation of tasks, time and energy.
5. Traction and trust that creates meaningful momentum and outcomes.
The ADAPT Approach™
About Sophie
I've spent over 20 years working with leaders who are striving to make a genuine impact while managing complex stakeholder dynamics and resource constraints. I understand the weight of making decisions that affect people's lives.
What drives me is seeing capable leaders liberated from reactive and restrictive ways of thinking and working and step into the strategic value only they can provide. I adapt proven, best practice strategies to work in your world - where budgets are tight, stakes are high, and every decision matters.
I'm an accredited executive coach and leadership, strategy and culture consultant with experience across public and private sectors, including six years with KPMG and several years with leading consulting firms. I also sit on McKinsey Consulting's global faculty providing coaching and leadership development programs to the world’s leading practitioners.
For the last 16 years, my clients have primarily included CEOs and leaders across health, community services, government, SME and for-purpose organisations.
That's because I love helping good people to achieve great things.
