Founder & Managing Partner

• Jun 2015 - Present

My driving passion is to use my knowledge and experience to help others develop and achieve the results they want. I established Yellow Door Training & Development in 2015 and grew the company rapidly to where it is today, serving high-profile clients across the service sector, training and coaching hundreds of delegates, through my own and my team’s sessions. I'm a Henley Business accredited executive coach, and a specialist in sales and management training with a strong track record for measurable results. I demystify high-end selling and unlock the ability of managers and leaders at every level to get the very best from their teams, allowing service sector organisations to deliver on their sales & growth strategies. After graduating from Bristol University, I cut my teeth in the fiercely competitive property industry, quickly rising through the ranks to board director level at 29. I managed teams of over 60 employees and oversaw millions of pounds in revenue. It was here that I developed my coaching-led management style, which creates such an impact for managers and employees alike. Through my common-sense, immediately actionable tools and techniques, I now help my clients embed cultures of feedback and high performance where people - and balance sheets - can thrive. Show less
