Meet the Higher Conversations Coaching Collective
We recognise that finding the right coach can be all about the right fit and we offer a no-cost discovery session to help you with this. In this 30 minute appointment, we can find out more about what you want to get from coaching and the coach will outline her particular approach, helping you both to establish how you will work together. You will then have time to reflect and decide if it is the right approach for you.
We are a coaching collective offering a range of approaches to work with you in achieving your aims and unlocking your potential. Working as a collective allows us to help you find the best fit with a coach and we can sign-post you to the right coach, if needed after a discovery session.
We are coaches. We are also leaders, mentors, trusted colleagues and peers who have experienced joys and challenges over a career history, juggling these alongside other commitments and responsibilities, while striving to maintain that all important life-work balance.
Our individual bios give more information on our approaches, specialist interests and background.

Testimonals
Transformative Coaching transforms your dream into a successful project. Here’s what people are saying about our work:
I’ve gained a deeper understanding of my strengths, weaknesses, and motivations, which is helping to approach career planning and development with a clearer perspective and is helping me to make choices aligned with my values and goals.
DL, Operations Director
I’ve been helped to see the value in what are often described as soft skills and how instrumental they are to my success, thus giving me the confidence to leverage them more and to factor them into future career plans.
HG, Project Manager
It helped me regain my confidence. Coaching … helped me think through my next steps in my career, reflect on what I had done so far and also articulate more clearly what the frustrations and challenges are … I can feel myself ‘repairing’
OD, University Professor
What coaching involves
“The measure of intelligence is the ability to change”
Albert Einstein
Identifying your goals
Reflecting on what you value + need
Exploring different options
Choosing your next steps
Imagine a safe space in which to think aloud and explore your options with an objective voice to guide you, someone outside your organisation or even your sector, someone who is not part of your network. Now, imagine working with that objective voice to achieve your goals whether that is unravelling a gnarly situation with a colleague, raising your profile to leverage your career potential, or changing direction and embarking on a new venture. This is what effective coaching can do.
Mentoring and coaching are often used interchangeably: there are some similarities yet a coach brings a fresh perspective as they are often from a different professional sector, and, unlike a career mentor, will work with you on a shorter-term basis to support you in seeing results quickly.
Pricing
We operate a flexible pricing structure to ensure we can support individuals and organisations. The initial 30 minute discovery session is free of charge and then 1:1 sessions start from between £50 and £125.
