High-performing teams start with confident leadership

Leadership coaching & team performance consulting for IT teams in law firms and professional services.

Reduce bottlenecks and constant firefighting

Develop confident, capable team leaders

Build strong, effective teams that collaborate

Your team leaders are under pressure

They’re managing a lot – demanding stakeholders, constant change and teams that rely on them for every decision.

The result?

Too much firefighting.Not enough strategic thinking.Tension inside the team.Projects dragging.

People feeling overwhelmed and disconnected.

I get it. I’ve spent more than 30 years working alongside technology teams in the professional services.

And I can tell you – it doesn’t have to be that way.

High-performing teams are built through confident leadership, trust, and clear ways of working together

Things start to look very different when teams are aligned and connected

Here’s what changes when leaders feel confident and teams
work well together

  • Managers spend less time firefighting and more time thinking strategically
  • Teams take more ownership and solve problems proactively
  • Everyone feels calmer, more energised and more connected 
  • Projects move faster with few delays
  • There’s more trust, more momentum and more confidence across the team
  • Good people stay longer, because they feel supported and valued
  • Senior leadership starts noticing the difference in performance, culture and results 

WHAT ORGANISATIONS SAY ABOUT ME


“Sherry had such a massive impact during her time working at Macmillan Cancer Support. There are so many ways Sherry drove forwards our work in the Talent team, but I would say her biggest success was being the expertise and passion behind the ‘Taskforces’ for our ‘Open Strategy’ process. It’s not an over statement to say that I don’t think we would have achieved what we did without Sherry. A passionate advocate for agile working, Sherry created and maintained our ‘agile pirates’ space for like-minded and curious colleagues to share their learning and experience. Her creativity shines through in all she does. Any organisation would be lucky to benefit from Sherry’s experience and expertise. I hope I get to work with her again in the future.”
Claire Singlehurst, Talent Director, Macmillan Cancer Support

“Sherry brought clarity, camaraderie, calm and great skill to our tech transformation. With a real ability to engage very different groups of stakeholders, Sherry was a fundamental pivot for the whole programme winning everyone’s respect.”

Nick Wilkie, Chief Executive, NCT

“Sherry is passionately curious, a skill that has enabled her to step further into Agile practices and coaching that she had before. Her work leading the taskforce coaches, managing the relationship with our external Agile coaching partner and ultimately setting us up for success to coach taskforces without the need for external partners.”

Mel Boucher, People Development Manager, Macmillan Cancer Support

“Sherry comes with a deep level of expert knowledge and I found her easy to work with as did my staff. She helped further the strength of our facility through her review and we expect to use her skills again shortly.”

Duncan Eadie, Chief Technology Officer, Foot Anstey

“My staff have found their work with Sherry of enormous value and it has proved extremely helpful in the overall management of the team.

Sherry’s expert coaching skills bring out the best in staff by assisting them to elicit their own needs and then working with them to develop real-life plans to improve performance.”

Maurice Millen, Head of IT, Macfarlanes

“Sherry brings knowledge, enthusiasm, energy and creativity to any space she is in. She recently delivered a session for our leadership team which brought out things in the group that we’ve not seen in more than a year together. If anyone is looking for a coach who can sky rocket team performance, help you to think and work differently and be all round brilliant, Sherry should be your first choice”

Gemma Ellison, Leadership Development Manager, Macmillan Cancer Support

“Sherry came to talk to our Women@Keytree group. The whole group enjoyed her engaging presentation on Career Aspirations and Imposter Syndrome. There was much lively discussion generated facilitated by Sherry’s highly approachable and warm personal style. Thank you!”

Rebecca Bennett, Head of HR, Keytree

“I have been working with Sherry for a year or so – she has been absolutely instrumental in supporting me to move back to perm and then to my Director level role. I am grateful that my organisation recognises we need to balance up gender in senior roles but there is a long way to go. Working with Sherry gave me the space to innovate, to express thoughts and share ideas before putting them into action! Everyone needs a Sherry in their life! Thank-you.”

Claire Reeves, Director, Deloitte

“I’ve worked on various projects with Sherry over the last year or so and have been really impressed by her understanding, and commitment, to awareness of equity, diversity and inclusion (EDI) in the workplace. Sherry has really invested time to understand more about EDI. She recognises the importance of ensuring every taskforce she works with a) brings their own lived experiences to create inclusive solutions and b) is representative of the communities the organisation supports.”

Lucy Pinkstone, Head of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, Siemens UK
