Joy-Led™ leadership for women done with patriarchal, extractive ways of working
Hi, I’m Claire. My work is devoted to supporting women create, lead and grow what they’re here to bring into the world from joy, aliveness and deep trust in themselves.
This work is for you if you know – deep in your heart, deep in your body (even if it terrifies you slightly) – that you’re ready for more.
Not ‘more’ as in the monolithic march of more for more’s sake. Oh no!
More depth. More vibrancy. More unapologetic, joy-fuelled, imperfect, right-sized motion toward what makes you feel utterly alive.
It is for leaders, founders, creatives, and changemakers who can no longer contort themselves into patriarchal models of success, visibility, leadership, and business growth.
Women who know they don’t need another overpriced blueprint.
They are remembering that they are the blueprint.
This work could be a beautiful fit for you if you…
do transformational work in the world – as a leader, founder, changemaker, healer, coach, community-builder, paradigm-shifter, way-shower
have (re)built a career or business led by purpose, but now sense that this is only the beginning.
are exhausted by the over-functioning demanded by conventional leadership and business culture
are beyond tired of formulaic advice about how to ‘grow your impact’
long to express yourself more fully and freely – and embody the change you know you’re here to create
sense your work is meant to serve life in some deeper way, even if you don’t have words for what that means
Thanks for being here
For more than 25 years I’ve worked across leadership, organisational development, coaching and transformation – from large institutions to intimate spaces of personal and creative becoming.
After some radical re-imagining over many years of practice, my work lives at the intersection of leadership, creativity, embodiment, and systems change.
I’m a transformational coach, mentor, community leader, facilitator, and creative catalyst – and an emerging artist on her own journey of creative reclamation.

My deepest wish for us all…
We stop abandoning ourselves in the name of ‘success.’
We start allowing ourselves to stumble towards what’s calling us now, connected to joy, creativity, intuition, and eros as essential leadership capacities.
We trust ourselves more deeply, more completely, and act on that time and time and time again.
We loosen the tendrils of patriarchal performance-based cultures that still live inside us, with compassion and conviction.
We create businesses, teams, careers and lives that are regenerative, expansive and right-sized for us. No matter what the prevailing messages tell us we should be doing.
We unapologetically embody our full-spectrum aliveness in all parts of our lives
We follow our highest, wisest, minxiest, sovereign self as the CEO of our careers and businesses
We join hands with our sisters in this great adventure, and shape what wants to emerge in service of the world we long to create, together.
