Senior Leader, Global Technology Organisation
Hello, I'm Janet
I am an executive coach, leadership consultant and former senior Clients & Markets leader with extensive experience across professional services, public sector organisations, education and social enterprise environments.
My coaching combines commercial insight, leadership experience and a brain-based, results-focused coaching approach that helps people create clarity, momentum and sustainable change. I work with senior leaders and professionals navigating complexity, transition, organisational change and increased leadership responsibility.
Prior to establishing WayFour Ltd, my own consulting and coaching practice, I held senior leadership roles within Deloitte and Dentons, including global Clients & Markets leadership, sector strategy, leadership development and change management. My experience spans professional services, government-related organisations, educational institutions and major transformation programmes, including work connected to the London Organising Committee of the Olympic Games.
Alongside executive coaching, I have designed and delivered leadership development programmes focused on resilience, leadership effectiveness, communication, culture change and high performance. I have coached professionals within Deloitte, Dentons, public sector organisations and social enterprises, as well as individuals transitioning from professional services into self-employment and into C-suite roles.
I would describe my coaching style as warm, thoughtful, commercially grounded and positively challenging. I build trusted relationships quickly and help clients increase self-awareness, strengthen confidence and make practical progress towards meaningful goals. My approach is informed by neuroscience, behavioural insight and positive psychology, with a strong emphasis on helping people move from pressure and uncertainty towards clarity, effectiveness and fulfilment.
My areas of coaching expertise include leadership development, resilience, career and leadership transition, organisational change, stakeholder confidence, communication and personal impact.
