Strategic support for leaders who put their people and purpose first.

Arrow pointing right

Helping leaders align, lead, and navigate change with confidence.

I work with senior leadership teams navigating change - whether that’s a leadership transition, organisational growth, or increasing complexity.

I focus on the human side of leadership: how leaders think together, make decisions, and create confidence in uncertain conditions. By helping your team slow down just enough to build shared understanding and strengthen alignment, I make it easier to move forward effectively.

My Services

  • Ongoing strategic support during periods of change

    This offer provides consistent, senior-level leadership support for charities that need a trusted partner alongside their CEO and Senior Leadership Team.

    I work closely with leaders to understand the organisation’s context, challenges and culture - offering perspective, facilitation, and challenge where it’s most needed.

    Typically includes:

    • Facilitation of Senior Leadership Team conversations

    • Support clarifying and embedding strategic priorities

    • Space for reflection, challenge and alignment

    • Coaching and support for individual leaders as required

    This works well when:

    • A leadership team is new or evolving

    • Strategy exists but isn’t guiding day-to-day decisions

    • Leaders feel stretched, reactive or uncertain

    • Confidence or trust within the team has dipped

    Outcomes you can expect:

    • A more confident and cohesive leadership team

    • Stronger alignment around priorities and purpose

    • Clearer decision-making and reduced friction

    • Leaders who feel supported, involved and able to lead through complexity

  • Short, focused programmes for senior leadership teams

    The Leadership Alignment Sprint is a short, structured piece of work designed to help leadership teams reconnect, rebuild shared understanding, and move forward together.

    It’s particularly effective during moments of transition - such as leadership changes, strategy resets, or periods of organisational strain - when confidence, clarity or participation may have been affected.

    Over 6-8 weeks, this typically involves:

    • One-to-one conversations with each SLT member to understand perspectives, assumptions and concerns

    • Careful synthesis of themes, tensions and areas of misalignment

    • One or two facilitated leadership sessions focused on:

      • Shared priorities and purpose

      • How decisions are made and owned

      • How leaders communicate and work together

    • A clear, practical articulation of “how we lead together”

    This sprint is not about:

    • Producing a lengthy report

    • Forcing agreement

    • Introducing unnecessary complexity

    It is about:

    • Creating shared understanding

    • Rebuilding confidence and trust

    • Increasing participation and ownership

    • Helping leaders move forward with clarity

    Outcomes you can expect:

    • Greater confidence across the leadership team

    • Clearer roles, priorities and decision-making

    • Improved communication and collaboration

    • A leadership team better equipped to lead through change together

  • Reflective thinking space for leaders navigating complexity

    This coaching offer is for individual leaders at all levels of senior leadership - not just CEOs - who want space to think clearly, reflect deeply, and strengthen how they lead.

    The focus is on leadership in context: understanding the system you’re operating within, the pressures you’re facing, and the judgements you need to make.

    Coaching can support leaders to:

    • Make sense of complex or ambiguous situations

    • Build confidence in their judgement and leadership style

    • Navigate change, transition or increased responsibility

    • Strengthen their contribution to the leadership team

    • Move from reaction to intentional leadership

    Outcomes you can expect:

    • Increased leadership confidence

    • Clearer thinking and prioritisation

    • Stronger presence and contribution in leadership settings

    • A greater sense of agency and direction

  • Helping Chairs, trustees, and executive teams work effectively together.

    I offer bespoke Leadership Sprints, workshops and coaching to:

    • Clarify roles, responsibilities, and decision-making

    • Support smooth leadership transitions

    • Ensure decisions land positively across the organisation

Why work with me?

Arrow pointing right

I bring a strong strategic foundation and human-centred approach to guiding leaders through change. My work focuses on how leaders think together, make decisions, and create confidence in uncertain conditions.

I adapt my support to what your leadership team needs: short, focused sprints, ongoing partnership, or one-to-one coaching. The goal is always the same: helping your team move forward with focus, trust, and shared understanding.

I’ve worked inside corporations and nonprofits, and alongside startups. I’ve led multimillion-dollar partnerships and grassroots initiatives. I’ve been both the strategic consultant and the overwhelmed team member.

That varied experience means I know how to find practical solutions that work - for your team, your resources, and your reality.

I don’t do theoretical solutions that fall apart in practice. No corporate jargon. No “one-size-fits-all” frameworks. Just candid conversations, practical strategies, and ongoing support to help your organisation thrive.

If you’re ready to make things clearer, easier, and more effective - let’s talk.

Who I’ve worked with

What they say

  • "Meredith is an inspiring leader, a compassionate colleague, and an incredible strategic thinker. She can balance what seems like a thousand projects at once, ensuring the team is working towards the right priorities and making difficult decisions with clarity and grace. Meredith thrives under pressure - she really comes alive in a crisis! - but always takes time to truly understand and empathise with everyone she’s working with, no matter how busy she is or how many projects she’s juggling."

    Joanna Hamer, Social Entrepreneur, Researcher, and Program Manager at London School of Economics, LSE Generate

  • "I had the pleasure to work with Meredith during a period of great organization change. When our organization was left without a CEO for several months, she quickly and seamlessly filled the gap. Meredith's clarity, leadership, and specifically her ability to motivate the team in the face of so many obstacles were inspiring. She skillfully balanced the many demands of her position while looking for strategic ways to innovate and streamline existing processes. Her relationship management skills — whether with donors, partners, volunteers, or staff — stand-out as some of the strongest I've seen in my time as a fundraiser. I truly value Meredith's mentorship and her generosity as a leader."

    Leigh Valliere, Development Manager at Childhood Cancer Canada

  • "I have found Meredith’s coaching style to be really helpful at a critical time during my career. I don’t think I would have been able to progress in the same way without her support to do so. I feel like I have found the answers to several big questions and can now move forward with more confidence."

    Executive Director, Enterprise Nation Coaching Client

  • "Meredith has an incredible ability to break down complex, unstructured environments, teams, and projects. What sets Meredith apart is her talent for engaging teams and making them feel truly part of the decision-making process. She has a unique approach that empowers individuals to not only excel in their roles but also contribute to the bigger strategic picture. This level of inclusivity is rare, and it creates an atmosphere of collaboration that inspires confidence and enthusiasm.
 Beyond doing the work, Meredith excels at teaching and empowering teams to do it themselves. She doesn’t just solve problems for you – she shows you how to solve them, ensuring that the strategies and skills she imparts have a lasting impact on the team’s ability to succeed."
