Is your female talent stepping up and fully supported when they do?

Too often, talented women don’t see promotion as a realistic next step and when they do step up, the transition doesn’t always land.

I help financial and professional services organisations close those gaps, strengthening confidence, capability and retention at critical transitions.

You get improved performance, they get to step into their potential.

Does this feel familiar?

  • Talented women hesitating to step up

  • Promotions not fully landing

  • Confidence or visibility gaps start to affect performance

  • Senior leaders are unsure how best to support

  • Your female talent pipeline slows or quietly leaks

These aren’t isolated issues.

They are common and impact performance, engagement and long term leadership capability.

Supporting women at critical transitions ❊

I work with organisations at the point where leadership potential meets new complexity.

Together we support women stepping into senior roles to:

  • Build confidence and clarity in higher stakes environments

  • Strengthen visibility, influence and leadership presence

  • Navigate the expectations and pressure that come with progression

  • Deliver performance and impact in more complex roles

The results: strong leaders, improved retention and a more sustainable leadership pipeline

Why Grace & Grit

With over 25 years’ experience in financial services and organisational change, I’ve worked closely with senior leaders to deliver transformation, build high-performing teams and navigate complexity.

I understand:

  • the reality of stepping into senior leadership

  • the pressure of visibility, performance and expectation

  • the challenges organisations face in retaining and progressing talent

This experience shapes everything I do today.

Alongside my consultancy, I founded Empowering Girls South West - a programme supporting young women to build confidence and broaden career aspirations.

This work gives me a unique perspective on the leadership pipeline - from early potential through to senior progression.
