Clare looks to continually sharpen individuals’ coaching edge and upskill mentor coaches so they can deliver high-quality feedback to their coaches-in-development.

    Clare’s first book, "Mentor Coaching: A Practical Guide" is a work of passion and according to Fran Fisher MCC, makes a significant contribution to the conscious evolution of the coaching profession, and offers a new paradigm for coach mentoring and the continuous personal and professional development of the coach.’

    Her second book, "The Transformational Coach", enables you to shed the ineffective scripts, trappings, and beliefs that a lifetime of personal interactions, professional training, and even your parents have taught you, such that you can reset your thinking to a beginner's mentality and so begin a fulfilling and exciting journey to coaching mastery.

    Living in the New Forest, Hampshire with her bloodhound and husband, Clare is a prolific blogger and an award-winning regular feature writer for industry magazines and journals.
