Executive Coaching & Facilitation

Leadership development for people navigating pressure, complexity and change.

For over two decades I have partnered with ambitious leaders and global organisations to turn pressure into performance.

Amanda Alexander // Simply Headshots
Your leaders are capable, committed and stretched. Pressure keeps rising, change keeps coming, and the human side of leadership - confidence, resilience, difficult conversations - is where performance is won or lost. That is where I come in.
For 23 years I have partnered with leaders and teams at organisations including Accenture, AstraZeneca, American Express, Bank of America, BBC, Bristol Myers Squibb, Disney, HSBC, London School of Economics, Paramount, Pfizer, Sage and Takeda. Much of my work is in pharmaceuticals, healthcare, banking, finance and other high-stakes, regulated environments, and I created and deliver a global self-leadership programme for scientific leaders.
I help senior professionals navigate the moments where leadership gets real: pressure, uncertainty, change, difficult conversations, confidence wobbles and the emotional load that comes with responsibility.

What I deliver

1:1 executive coaching - for leaders stepping up, under pressure, or in transition.

Facilitation and workshops - resilience, self-leadership, emotional intelligence, high-stakes conversations and performance under pressure, delivered in person or online.

Leadership development programmes - designed around your people, not off the shelf.
