Take action, take control
Within a few months you can achieve any of the above breakthroughs, through an intensive, revelatory and fun series of sessions with me.
I specialise in helping my clients to navigate change, and supporting them through dilemmas of confidence and capability.
How to start
We’ll start with a free, no strings attached discovery call to explore what brings you to coaching, to clarify what coaching is (and isn't), and to assess whether we are a good ‘fit’ for the journey ahead.
What others say
An attentive listener, with a calming presence and great skill for unleashing the best in people – Hannah is a superb coach. During my professional career, I've had a few coaching opportunities. But I have never felt as comfortable, nor achieved as much, as I have done with Hannah. Following my sessions, I've received impromptu positive feedback from peers, friends and family; which is testament to the great work we did together.
Molly, Production Manager
When I moved into management, I worked with Hannah through this daunting task which could have become overwhelming fast. Hannah broke everything down into manageable tasks and created an environment in which I could be open about both my achievements and missteps, and gave me clear goals and frameworks with which to succeed in moving forward. It was truly an invaluable experience.
Alice, Customer Success Team Leader
Hannah has a natural skill to build trust from the outset. During our sessions, she listened carefully and took an individual approach. Our sessions put me back on track and helped me identify what other skills I need to achieve my goals. Hannah made me realise how important it is for my role to be aligned to my personal values, in order to find joy and fulfilment in my everyday work life. During our meetings, magic just happened.

How it works
There is no one way to be coached.
With you at the centre of every single coaching conversation, sessions will go in whatever direction is needed.
Here is an example of how the sessions may progress to help you visualise what lies ahead.
The Future
Articulating your aspirations and pinpointing your goals.
We'll surface where you really want to be and frame it in such a way that you'll know when you've got there.
The Present
Exploring your current reality and creating context.
We’ll discuss the reality of where you actually are now, and examine the gap between here and your desired future.
The Obstacles
Acknowledging what you feel is standing in your way.
We’ll build an understanding of what obstacles you feel you are facing (if any), and why they are there in the first place.
The Options
Reviewing your options for tackling the obstacles and choosing the best one/s.
We’ll equip you with the resourcefulness to manage these obstacles better, or to remove them altogether.
The Way Forward
Building the desire, commitment and momentum to take your chosen path.
We’ll convert your options into tangible steps forward, taking you closer to your goal/s.
The New True You
Thriving in work and life through sustainable outcomes.
We’ll have equipped you with the clarity, motivation and resourcefulness to take on what lies ahead.

A BIT MORE ABOUT KINDLING
Kindling offers bespoke coaching solutions to help teams, organisations and individuals
navigate matters of change, confidence and capability.
A bit more about me
Over my HR career I've had the privilege of working with many different people and scenarios, and enabling individuals and teams to achieve great things. More recently I have been working as a Coach, once again supporting people and teams towards positive outcomes.
My background allows me to operate with an invaluable grasp of the organisational context, but without losing sight of the individual. So, whether you are employee or employer, I will help you make sense of these two (often dichotomous) perspectives, through my intricate appreciation of both.
In my relationships I achieve rapport quickly and always show up as my genuine self, armed with the passion and skills to do change-making work together. I’m passionate about helping people to understand what’s really going on, breaking down
stumbling blocks and releasing full potential.
Everything I have done, enjoyed and excelled at so far in life has led me here; and I can't wait to share the infinite value of great coaching with you.

What to expect in a discovery call
The overall effectiveness of coaching will rest on how the coach and the coachee bring themselves to each session, and to the coaching relationship in general. An initial, informal discovery call (with no cost or obligation) will allow us to see if we have the rapport to create the very best conditions for coaching together. My coachees must feel comfortable in the space that I provide and feel assured of trust, safety and confidentiality.
One of the most important goals for the discovery call is to assess rapport. Typically, when rapport is right, the conversation can flow. Rapport is also the unique element that may lead you to select me as your coach.
Other key topics you might expect us to cover in your discovery call include:
• What’s going on for you and why you have come to coaching.
• Reiterating what coaching is (vs counselling vs mentoring).
• Covering how I work, for example the tools and models I may use.
• How you like to work.
• The number and frequency of sessions that I would recommend.
• The approximate cost of your bespoke assignment.
• Any questions you have for me!
