Leadership Coaching & Team Development  

For organisations navigating growth, change and complexity.

My work is built on one belief: awareness creates choice and ownership creates change.

Leadership that keeps pace with growth

The leadership habits that got you where you are, might just be the ones getting in your way today!

Keeping pace with organisational growth starts with self-leadership. Noticing your assumptions, reactions and habits gives you the choice to respond differently rather than simply falling back into the habits that no longer help you.

I work with leaders and teams to do exactly that.

Are you: 

  • struggling to make the transition from expert to enabler

  • holding onto decisions that need to move into the team

  • finding it challenging to prioritise and think strategically

  • noticing a lack of ownership in the team

  • frustrated with misalignment across the team 

  • seeing problems surfacing in the team later than they should

These could be signs that what worked before may no longer be serving you as the organisation grows.

My Approach

The SelfLed SHIFT™ Framework

The SelfLed SHIFT framework in five stages: See (awareness), Hold (regulation), Intention (choice), Follow Through (behaviour) and Transform (impact).

The SelfLed SHIFT™ guides how we work together: five stages grounded in neuroscience, from noticing a pattern to owning what you do next.

Free Leadership Self-Reflection Guide

Leadership gets hard under pressure, when your brain reaches for whatever feels fastest and safest. This guide helps you take one real situation, understand what’s driving how you respond and choose what you’ll do differently.

What you’ll love about it:

  • It takes you through the five SHIFT stages one at a time, using a situation from your own week.

  • Every stage explains what your brain is doing, so you get the “oh, that’s why” with the science behind it.

  • A small experiment at each stage, plus an if-then plan to help you follow through when the pressure’s on.

Subscribe to my newsletter and the guide lands in your inbox, along with practical brain science on leadership habits.

Hi, I’m Rebecca.

Nearly 14 years at Booking.com taught me what leadership development looks like from every side: as the client, the buyer and the coach. Now I use work psychology and neuroscience to help leaders and teams understand why they do what they do, and own what they want to change.

What it’s like to work with me

From insight to action

“What made the coaching so impactful was that it helped me turn insight into action. I became more intentional about my choices, more aware of the behaviours I was repeating, and more conscious of the mindset I was bringing into different areas of my life.”

Shenique, Well Being Counsellor.

Scattered thoughts in, a clear focus out

“Rebecca asked exactly the right questions at the right moments. I came in with scattered thoughts each time, and left with a clear picture of what to focus on next. Would happily recommend Rebecca as a coach to other managers looking for the same clarity.”

Magdalena, Global Quality Lead.
