Climate programme coaching
I ensure climate programmes deliver, with teams that thrive
We know that every pound that we spend on climate and nature programmes has to count.
So, what do we need in the face of these challenges? Really well functioning teams! Teams that can develop creative solutions to big problems, can tune into a diverse set of views, can challenge each other in a compassionate way and are willing to have difficult conversations and course correct where needed.
I use my expertise to help teams do just this. I work with project directors, managers and team members, individually or as a group, at any stage of the programme lifecycle. I support them to define their own problems and develop their own solutions. Guiding them to maximise their resilience, listening skills and growth.
In just an hour or two a month I can support teams to take a pause – interrogate and get real about what's working and what isn't. Creating a trusted, confidential space with no agenda, no power dynamics, to check in, take stock and move forward with clarity and confidence. This approach sits alongside great leaders, skilful programme managers and traditional learning and development support.
What I help with
- Communication challenges between team members, partners and funders
- Misaligned expectations that slow progress or cause friction
- Avoiding group think, by challenging assumptions and bringing in a wider range of views
- Course correction for programmes that have lost direction or momentum
- Burnout, spotted and prevented before it affects people or delivery
Why coaching?
Coaching isn't mentoring or facilitation, and it isn't just for leaders. It's future-focused and action-oriented. Rather than handing over my expertise, I help your team build their own capability by working through the real challenges in front of them. And because the team develops the solutions themselves, the learning can be used for future projects and stays with them long after our sessions end.

Whether you're delivering a climate programme or funding one, I'd love to hear about it.
