Championing Quiet Strength at Work
I help introverts gain clarity, confidence, and influence in their careers - without the pressure to fit an extroverted mould. Together, we’ll unlock your strengths and create a way of working that feels natural and impactful.
I created The Quiet Catalyst because I know how exhausting it is to navigate a workplace not built for quiet thinkers. My work exists to help introverts succeed on their own terms, without changing who they are.
For years, I pushed myself to speak faster, network harder, and act more extroverted just to be taken seriously. It was draining, and unnecessary. Once I learned how to use my strengths as an introvert, everything shifted: my confidence, my influence, and my career progress.
Now, I help fellow introverts remove the pressure to perform, understand what makes them brilliant, and build careers that feel energising and aligned.
My Story & Experience
I spent 20 years in international roles leading and coaching teams across different cultures and personalities, sometimes as the only introvert in the room. I know what it’s like to feel overlooked, misunderstood, or stretched thin trying to keep up.
But I also learned how powerful quiet leadership can be. My approach blends deep professional experience, accredited coaching, and a genuine understanding of introvert psychology.
Writing Quiet Catalyst and working with hundreds of introverts has shown me one thing: when you stop trying to be someone else, your career opens up in remarkable ways.
The me behind the coach
When I’m not coaching, I’m probably wandering somewhere green, going slow on a yoga mat, or curled up with a book under a blanket. I’m endlessly curious about my own energy flow, quirks, and what helps me show up as my real self, whilst trying not to take life too seriously along the way.

An “impact” means a measurable unit of positive change created in the world. It’s typically broken down into one item (e.g. a tree, a meal or a book) or one day of specific support and access to resources provided to uplift lives.
