Great businesses are built on great people.
I help you develop both.

This is more than a business. It's a mission - to create meaningful, positive change for people and the organisations they lead.

At Shake Up Talent, I work with ambitious, growing businesses to develop their leaders, strengthen their talent pipelines and build cultures where people can truly thrive. I work at the organisational level and with individuals - because great people need the right environment to flourish.

I have 25 years experience of working as a Talent Management and Development professional across a variety of industries from SMEs to large FTSE 100 global businesses. During this time, I've partnered with individuals and leadership teams driving meaningful change that positively impacts culture, engagement and productivity. I'm a certified coach and facilitator with a particular passion for developing women in leadership - and a proven track record of building organisations where great leadership can flourish.
