Stop Overthinking Every Difficult Conversation
Say what needs to be said, without spiralling, freezing, or regretting it later
You're not new to leadership. But no one ever really taught you how to handle this bit.
- The hard conversations.
- The quiet resentment.
- The colleague who keeps crossing the line.
- The awkward team member who drains your energy.
- The manager who never hears you.
You’ve tried being nice. You’ve tried holding it in. You’ve tried speaking up, only to lie awake worrying if it came out wrong.
It’s exhausting.
If you’re ready for a different way, you’re in the right place.
“A catalyst in refining my leadership and decision-making.”
The Catalyst Conversations Programme – 3 Months of Targeted Mentoring
This isn’t generic coaching.
It’s a focused, supportive space where you’ll get:
- The exact language to start and steer difficult conversations
- Tools to stop emotional spirals and overthinking loops
- Honest insight into how your style lands with others
- A clear structure (the COMPASS Method) to guide any conversation
- Feedback, support, and scripts to practise and feel confident
This is for professionals and leaders who want to:
• Finally deal with one complex relationship at work (without it derailing your week)
• Build courage to say the things that matter
• Stop second-guessing and start leading with calm authority
What’s Included in the Conversations Catalyst:
✔ Two private 1:1 sessions each month (6 total)
✔ Full DISC personality profile to uncover your style and blind spots
✔ The Conversation Catalyst Journal to support reflection between sessions
✔ Access to my online course, Making Difficult Conversations Easier
✔ WhatsApp or email support in between calls
✔ Optional bonus mentoring session to prep for a high-stakes conversation
“She helped me see the situation differently and gave me the words I needed.”
All built around my COMPASS Method, which helps you:
- Centre yourself and the conversation
- Observe the facts without judgment
- Manage your emotional state and triggers
- Present your message with clarity
- Ask the right questions to open things up
- State boundaries and expectations clearly
- Set a check-in or closure plan
You don’t just get insight. You get a plan and practice.

Why Me?
With over 33 years of real-life experience leading in businesses, I’ve seen and done it all. From boardrooms to office floors, I’ve helped managers in companies big and small navigate difficult conversations. From 4 employees to 250.
I’ve juggled full-time work with family life, sometimes flying solo. I bring a unique perspective.
This experience, combined with my Chartered Management Institute Level 7 Diploma in strategic leadership and management, means I’m not just talking theory – I’m giving you strategies that work in the real world.
My membership in the Chartered Management Institute is more than just a fancy title; it’s a commitment to staying current with the latest management techniques.
