Grounded Edge´s Mission

Grounded Edge exists to redefine success for a new generation of leaders, where purpose drives performance and presence replaces pressure.

This is the space to build the human skills the world now demands: clarity, purpose, resilience and the ability to lead with intention in a rapidly changing landscape.

Grounded Edge´s Strategy

I bring the expertise of advising C-suite leaders into the earlier stages of your leadership journey, to get ahead the curve. These are the 3 differentiators in my strategy:

Inner Clarity Reset

You reconnect with who you are. Your values, strengths and purpose and how these influence your vision of success

System Insight

Using my years of working with SLTs in dozens of organisations we decode the dynamics, rituals, expectations and political forces affecting your leadership

Operating Model Reset

Insight is useless if your week stays the same. We redesign your time, team, decisions and rhythms so your leadership fits the level you’re stepping into.

Why Work With Me?

Why Leaders Choose to Work With Me

When the stakes rise, your old playbook stops working. You can feel the gap between who you are today and what your new role demands.

I can help you reconnect to your core, confront the patters shaping your choices and see the system you lead with clearer eyes, then redesign how you show up.

The result is grounded leadership with shaper decisions that people will feel, remember and rally behind.

Supported 30+ Senior Leadership Teams

I’ve worked with senior leaders in organisations that vary from 40,000+ people to managing over £15bn in assets. I´ve supported them through transformation and high-pressure decision-making. That breadth gives me a clear, evidence-backed view of the behaviours, patterns and mindsets that elevate leaders, and the ones that consistently hold them back.
