I work with data leaders and teams who want to move from delivery to influence and become trusted, commercial partners to the business.
Through facilitated group-based coaching programmes, we get to the heart of what’s holding teams back and shift how they think, communicate, and show up inside the organisation.
Trusted by data leaders from
Most data teams don’t lack technical skill. They lack influence, clarity of purpose, and a seat at the decision-making table. The Data Team Accelerator helps teams shift from being seen as delivery engines to becoming trusted strategic partners across the business.
Data teams are often stuck in patterns like:
Treated as a ticket queue or reporting factory.
Receiving solution requests instead of real business problems.
Producing dashboards and analysis that rarely drive decisions.
Struggling to challenge stakeholders or shape priorities.
Often undervalued despite doing high-quality work.
Leaders finding it hard to articulate the true business value of the team.
Teams come out operating very differently:
Trusted business partners engaged early in strategic conversations.
Stakeholders present business challenges instead of prescribed solutions.
Insights directly inform commercial, product, and operational decisions.
Analysts confident in storytelling, prioritisation, and communication.
Clear ownership of problem framing and project intake.
Leaders can clearly position data as a growth and decision engine
This programme is most valuable when the team is doing good work, but it isn’t shaping decisions in the way leadership expects.
Your team delivers consistently, but the business impact feels limited
Stakeholders still see data as a service desk
Data is brought in too late to shape priorities
Analysts or managers struggle to influence senior leaders
You’re trying to build a data function, not just expand reporting
A collaborative, practical group coaching programme designed to shift how your team thinks, communicates, and shows up across the business.
Before the programme starts, I work with leadership to identify the key challenges, frictions, and goals for your team. Then, I design a tailored session structure aligned to the specific themes your organisation needs to address. This ensures the coaching is grounded in your business context, not generic theory.
The sessions themselves are interactive working environments, not classroom training. Typically ran over six weekly group sessions, participants engage in:
The focus is on applying new thinking to the situations your team faces every day.
The objective is not learning for learning’s sake. It is visible behaviour change. By the end of the programme, your team leaves with:
This makes it easier for leaders to trust the team’s judgement and involve them earlier in strategic decisions.
All sessions are recorded, resources are shared, and light-touch follow-up is available between sessions to support application and momentum.
Help your team engage senior stakeholders with clarity and credibility, so conversations move from explanation to influence.
Shift how insights are framed and discussed, so data actively shapes decisions rather than reporting on them after the fact.
Equip your team with advanced expertise and leadership skills, enabling them to excel in their current roles and unlock new career opportunities, ensuring continuous professional growth and long-term success.
Data Team Accelerator is not a course, but rather a conversationally driven program aimed at empowering teams to discover the answers for themselves. Instead of simply be taught concepts or by reading them from a slide deck, group coaching fosters a high level of interactive collaboration where participants begin applying what they've learnt right then and there in the sessions.
The programs are typically 6 sessions long with up to 8 participants per group. The sessions are held over zoom and are 1.5 hours long.
My approach is easy going and inclusive and I am highly outcomes driven. I encourage a high degree of collaboration and participation in my programs. I love to listen and to understand the challenges the group are are facing so I ask a lot of questions and work hard to get to the route cause of their challenges.
The sessions are interactive so participants will begin using and applying what they have learnt during the session.
Data teams that want to become more impactful and help their organisations become more data-centric by improving their relationships and communication with business stakeholders. I am happy to work with both highly technical teams or more business centric data teams.
The programme is usually funded as part of leadership development, analytics capability building, or transformation initiatives. I’m happy to support internal conversations if helpful.
"Everything was perfect. From understanding our pain points and keeping the programme framework flexible, to accommodating all the solutions to those pain points. Thank you so much for putting in so much effort. It really helped us a lot! Hoping there will be a second part of this!!!"
"Being technical person, I always felt a gap between me and person I am explaining things to. This session helped me understand how we can bridge that gap."
"I especially liked the part about story-telling. It was an amazing way to turn our technical conversation into a structured format and to be remembered."
"Very informative session especially the discussion on identifying stakeholders and their information needs and the discussion around this."
