This work is about helping you step into that next level faster, with more clarity, and without burning out.
I work with a select number of high-performing leaders who are ready to:
- Grow revenue without running harder
- Sharpen their leadership style and strategic thinking
- Build teams and cultures that deliver, not drain
- Leverage AI and emerging tools and not be intimidated or overwhelmed by them
- Make space for what matters most, professionally and personally
Serious Growth Starts with a Serious Investment, in You.
Who This Is For:
“Some people call me a Coach. Some a Trusted Advisor. But when someone has a £$100K+ problem they WANT solvING, they call me…”
You’re already successful.
But you're fully aware there’s another level.
- You’ve got skin in the game
- People rely on you
- And on the outside - it’s working
- But inside? You’re carrying it all, and it’s heavy.
Often you’re in rooms where no one really challenges you. You’re making decisions fast but second-guessing too much.
Maybe you’re doing too much yourself because you don’t fully trust the team yet. Or you’ve outgrown your current thinking, and it’s starting to cost you - time, energy, money, credibility.
This is for leaders who are in it. Deeply. The ones who aren’t waiting for permission. The ones who want to scale impact, sharpen execution, and finally solve the things that keep circling back. You're sharp. Ambitious. And you know that what got you here won’t take you where you want to go next.
You might be:
- A founder, c-suite executive, or senior leader carrying pressure from investors, boards, clients, or yourself
- Leading through a pivot, scale-up, or transformation that’s demanding more than ever
- Done firefighting and want space to think clearly and lead strategically
- An entrepreneur scaling fast, but sensing your leadership needs to evolve to match the next level
- On the verge of something big, but held back by friction, doubt, team drag, or sheer exhaustion
- Tired of whiteboarding “vision” when what you need is traction.
let's TALK
“You have to get used to the feeling of constantly not knowing what you’re doing or how to do something. it’s essentially the same as learning. You should seek out that sort of nauseous, horrible feeling. That’s how you know you’re getting career growth.”
- JESS LEE
PARTNER AT SEQUOIA CAPITAL
This isn’t coaching for coaching’s sake. It’s a commercial lever.
As a Senior Leader you don’t need more ideas, you need precision, speed and clarity. You don’t need motivation, you need traction. And you don’t have time to waste figuring out how to align a team, hold a vision, and execute under pressure.
That’s what we'll do together.
We'll cut through the noise, surface what matters, and help you build decisions, direction and get the results you're after.
- Define your C-Suite agenda clearly so you're not reacting, you're leading and inspiring
- Get the right things on the table and the wrong ones off your desk
- Rebuild strategic confidence when you're stretched thin or second-guessing
- Navigate constant tension between growth, culture, delivery, and risk
- Take control of your narrative inside the business and in the market.
- A vivid and actionable picture of the future you're leading your business towards
- Alignment across the top team, not just agreement, but trust and real ownership
- Clear priorities in a sea of noise, so everyone knows where to focus and why
- Strategies that connect to commercial, cultural and operational realities
- Behavioural traction, not just plans, in reality this means new ways of leading that actually embed
- Greater agility to lead through disruption, AI evolution, and high-stakes pivots.
Whether you’re facing a high-stakes pivot, pressure from investors, or a leadership challenge that’s quietly costing you millions - this is where we solve it. This is where the right thinking today makes tomorrow’s decisions easier, faster, and clearer.
What Working Together Delivers
THIS WORK IS DESIGNED TO HELP YOU
YOU'LL LEAVE WITH:
WAYS FOR US TO WORK TOGETHER
1:1 EXECUTIVE COACHING
For when you’re carrying the pressure and need space to think.
Confidential sessions built around your context and objectives so you can solve in real time, sharpen your leadership edge, and make better strategic calls under pressure. We'll work on your most pressing challenges and unlock what’s next.
STRATEGIC SPRINTS
Solve an expensive problem. Fast.
One issue. One outcome. One focussed container.
We go deep on what’s stuck: whether it’s board dynamics; strategic direction; performance drag, org design; or leadership friction, and get to a clean, actionable way forward. Done virtually or in-person. Often within 2–4 weeks.
LEADERSHIP ALIGNMENT
Because culture starts at the top.
Custom sessions to bring your senior team into alignment: on direction; priorities; and how to lead together. If your execs aren’t fighting for the same future, they’re pulling against it. This is where we change that.
- A strategic lens on your most expensive problems - and how to solve them.
- Strategic priorities clarified, owned, and operationalised.
- The confidence to lead, even when the path isn’t fully clear
- Executive teams built on high trust, both re-aligned and re-energised.
- Growth and performance unlocked after months of plateau
- Business narratives refined to engage boards, teams, and markets.
- Complex transitions like (M&A, exits, C-suite changes, transformation and brand pivots), navigated and executed cleanly.
- Leaders showing up clearer, calmer, and more commercially sharp.
- A leadership and business narrative that’s compelling, clean, and powerful.
TYPICAL OUTCOMES WORKING WITH ME DELIVERS:
This is the work that shifts businesses and reputations.
The work that moves money, people, and power.
When I needed guidance for advanced leadership challenges, Dimple was my top choice as a coach. I sought her out due to her proven expertise and experience, especially during a period of intense growth in my career and my life. The results speak for themselves. During my time as CEO, I successfully increased our company's profits fivefold within 18 months. Simultaneously, I underwent personal growth that instilled in me the confidence and mindset to embrace motherhood on my own terms.

SUCCESS STORY | GABBY, NEW YORK
PICTURE YOUR LIFE
TEN YEARS FROM NOW
Forget the future for a second. Look at now.
You're smart. Capable. Respected.
You’ve built a career or a business others admire.
But if you’re honest you’re also circling the same questions:
- “Is this it?”
- “Why do I still feel like I’m holding back?”
- “How much longer can I stay in this version of myself?”
This is the moment. Not next quarter. Not when the team settles. Now.
This Work Isn’t About Potential. It’s About Action.
YOU WILLING TO LIVE LIFE WITH REGRETS?
Because let's be real.....In ten years, you’ll either have stepped up... or wished you had. You’ll either be running the business you really wanted to build or stuck in one you outgrew five years ago. You’ll either be leading with conviction, or still biting your tongue in rooms where you should be setting the tone. You’ll either be making money, moves, and meaning or explaining to yourself why it wasn’t “the right time.”
The pain of regret doesn’t hit all at once. It creeps in. In the missed opportunity. The decision you delayed. The voice you muted to make other people comfortable. So no, this isn’t about “confidence.” This is about calling time on compromise. If you're done playing a smaller game than the one you were built for this is your edge. And we go from here.
How it works
STRATEGIC. FocuSsed. Built Around You.
STEP 1: STRATEGY CALL
'LET'S TALK'
If it’s a fit, we shape a working model that’s tailored to your reality. Your pace, your pressures, your leadership style.
That might mean 1:1 coaching, strategic sprints to solve a key issue, getting your senior team aligned, or a blend of all three.
We decide what makes sense. Together.
We start working together. This is where strategy meets reality.
The stakes get real, the pressure kicks in and that’s where I’m most valuable.
I stay close. I help you test thinking, navigate resistance, and adapt fast without losing focus.
This is support at the point of execution, where it actually counts.
FIRST THIS
then THIS
We begin with a focussed, straightforward conversation.
You bring the reality. what’s on your plate, what’s keeping you up at night, and what needs to shift.
The goal? To understand whether there’s a meaningful challenge to solve and whether I’m the right partner to help you do it.

So let's get started!
Scaling under pressure with PRIVATE EQUITY EXPECTATIONS, board demands, and zero margin for error. navigating scale & scrutiny is NOT EASY.
“Dimple helped me step back, focus on what mattered, and lead with more precision.
The ROI was immediate.”
We’d just taken on PE funding. Growth expectations were aggressive. I was buried in decisions, navigating board dynamics, and managing internal friction as we scaled. Working with Dimple gave me what I didn’t even realise I was missing - clarity, space to think, and a sharper edge as a leader.
She helped me simplify priorities, reset the leadership team, and start making bigger decisions without hesitation. Dimple is direct, strategic, and doesn’t waste time. Every session moved the needle.
What I appreciated most was her ability to cut through noise without adding fluff. It was focussed, real-world coaching at the pace I needed.

TestimonialS
working with dimple gave me a multi-million $$$ dollar return
“My initial five-figure investment with Dimple rapidly transitioned into a multi-million dollar return.”
Partnering with Dimple was akin to receiving a blueprint for the next five years of my life and then finding myself already achieving those milestones. Dimple employs an intricate blend of strategic coaching, energy alignment, and dynamic meditation techniques. The best part? She consistently ensures I remain on the path to success. She's got my back. I think of her as the guardian angel of my ambitions.
Warning: This isn’t for the faint-hearted, I had to consistently show up for myself and do the work. This was more than just coaching, it was a transformative journey. If you’re ready to go to the next professional level then Dimple is THE mentor to get you there.

Getting the exec team pulling in the same direction again
“I asked Dimple to run a leadership alignment session. What she delivered went way beyond my expectations.”
We didn’t need another away day. We needed realignment. And that’s what we got with Dimple.
We were mid-growth. Pressure was building. And my leadership team, while smart and committed had lost its edge as a unit. Different agendas, unspoken tensions, and a lack of shared ownership were slowing us down. I asked Dimple to run a leadership alignment session. What she delivered was miles beyond expectation.
She created a space where we could be honest, reset expectations, and reconnect to what we were really here to do. She called out the tough stuff without making it personal and helped us have the conversations we’d all been avoiding. By the end, we weren’t just aligned. We were re-energised. Clear on our roles, clear on priorities, and most importantly clear on how to lead together to get the results we needed.

Finding structure, confidence and a roadmap WE COULD REALLY TRUST AND GET BEHIND as first-time founders.
“Dimple brought order and clarity without ever making us feel small. And she helped us build out a practical plan we could trust.”
Dimple helped us go from ‘maybe we can’ to ‘this is ours to lead.’” We had a strong vision, but everything felt messy. We were second-guessing decisions, unsure how to price or position, and constantly comparing ourselves to others further ahead. We knew we needed help, but not handholding. We needed someone sharp and real and Dimple was recommended to us.
She brought order and clarity without ever making us feel small. We shaped our offer, sharpened our brand message, and built out a practical plan we could trust.
She also worked with us on how we approached our thinking, where fear was driving things, and where we needed to step up. The results were quick. More clarity. More clients. More confidence. We both no longer feel like we're faking it anymore.

i Found My Voice. from doubting myself to confidently stepping into the C-Suite
“Dimple turned things around for me. Working with her was a game-changer. I simply wouldn't be here in my career without her.”
Engaging with Dimple was a turning point in my career. She didn't just coach me, she changed me. Dimple saw the potential in me that I often overlooked. Before working with her I questioned every decision and second-guessed my potential.
Dimple provided tailored strategies that addressed my unique challenges and with her guidance I developed the confidence and clarity to make my way into the C-suite. In our face-to-face 'Clearing' sessions, Dimple meticulously tackled my limiting beliefs, helping me navigate specific challenges like communicating more effectively, asserting my opinions in meetings, and overcoming my fears around speaking to camera and in public.
These sessions were more than just coaching, they were life-changing experiences that propelled me not only up the ladder but molded me into a more impactful leader. I simply wouldn't be here in my career without her.

i went from making £12K a MONTH to £47K within 5 months, and i MORE THAN TRIPLED my ANNUAL BUSINESS REVENUE
“Dimple's clarity, strategy, and commitment to excellence are unmatched.”
Before working with Dimple I felt comfortable where I was at, but still had the desire to expand my career. Intrigued by Dimple's blend of business strategy experience and deep energy work, I made the leap from working in investment banking to entrepreneurship. Investing six months with Dimple to launch and grow my own business was transformative. Her guidance was invaluable; not only did she give me a clear, detailed roadmap, blending pragmatic steps with deep personal insights, she also empowered me to smash my limiting beliefs, fostering a newfound self-belief.
Every penny invested returned multi-fold, transforming my passion into a thriving online business. Dimple's clarity, strategy, and commitment to excellence are unmatched. Compared to a year ago, I'm in a brighter space and the initial investment feels insignificant. I also feel like I have grown in the other areas of my life too, which in my mid-40s feels like a double win!

I work with leaders across industries, from CEOs and PE-backed founders to elite creatives and corporate execs - helping them cut through complexity and lead at the level they’re meant for.
I’ve spent over 25 years working at the intersection of leadership, business performance, and behavioural transformation. I bring that edge into every session.
Born in the UK, I grew up with tales of my parents fleeing Idi Amin's brutal regime in Uganda in 1972. They arrived in Britain with absolutely nothing but hope and determination. Their resilience taught me life isn't about the cards you're dealt, but how you play them. Every challenge faced is a lesson learned, every setback a stepping stone. I'm reminded through my parents' journey and sacrifices, a simple truth: that self-belief and perseverance shapes your destiny. That story shaped me. It’s why I back ambition so fiercely. Why I work fast, think deeply, and don’t flinch at big stakes or hard moments.
