Meet the Coach

I have enjoyed a successful career in hospitality marketing leading high performing teams within Hilton Hotels, The Hotel Collection and BPP University as well as working for privately owned, global PLCs and private equity backed organisations. In fact I started my coaching journey with Hilton Hotels in 2004 and since then I have become a Master Practitioner in NLP, qualified as an Executive Coach with the AoEC in 2009 and became a certified Breakthrough Coach in 2021. Running a successful marketing consultancy, Amano Marketing for 10 years, I saw how coaching teams to understand their team purpose, improve collaboration and increase accountability was a major part of delivering the marketing strategy especially during/after periods of change. So in 2016 I trained as a Systemic Team Coach to bring a structured approach to my interventions.
I launched Coaching Confidential to provide Coaching to individuals and teams to help them better understand their purpose, values and authentic leadership style and, in doing this, align themselves with their organisations and personal objectives. I work with leaders to
- Lead in a VUCA world
- Plan career moves and transition to new ones
- Focus on development and performance goals
- Developing authentic and self-reflective leadership
- Be part of and lead teams that are aligned, motivated and understand their systemic impact.
I am a member of the International Coaching Federation (ICF) and as such, follow their Code of Ethics and coaching competencies.
With 2022 upon us, managers look towards delivering on challenging new objectives in times that remain uncertain and with teams that may have changed or have different ways of working. I am finding clients are appreciating having someone they can talk to confidentially about their motivations, current work challenges and complexity of plans as they look to rebuild their businesses.
If you think I can help you, get in touch and we can have a chat.

Am I the right coach for you?
For you to be coached and for me to coach you there needs to be a connection and trust between us. All my programmes start with an introductory session to ensure you feel comfortable with me and with the process. Here are a few things you should know beforehand:
- I will not tell you what you could or should do. I listen, ask questions, expand your thinking, enabling you to see the options available to you and empowering you to choose the solution that is right for you.
- I do not have to be from your industry sector, for the reason mentioned above. You are the expert in your industry and the expert in what is right for you.
- I know some great life coaches but this is not my area of expertise. If you’re looking to improve your health, wellbeing, relationships or to find meaning in your life, I’m happy to introduce you.
- I do believe, however, our work and personal lives are fully intertwined and so if one is affecting the other then we can explore this together.
