Meet your Coach
Hi, I’m Lisa
Coach. Founder. Mother. Recovering perfectionist.
I believe you can grow without burning out — and that the most important work often begins quietly, with a question you don’t yet know how to answer.
The business side
I’m an ILM Level 5 qualified life coach, business coach, and EMCC practitioner with a background in business growth, leadership, and sustainability. Before launching Damselfly Coaching, I co-founded and led a global e-commerce brand that achieved B Corp certification and pioneered a circular business model. I’ve secured over £250,000 in Innovate UK grant funding and advised more than 300 UK SMEs through business support and mentoring programmes.
I’ve also worked in higher education, the creative industries, and international trade — but the common thread through all of it has been this: a passion for sustainable growth through leadership coaching and personal development.
The human side
I built my business while raising a family. I’ve known the thrill of success and the weight of burnout. I’ve navigated grief while leading a team. And like many of my clients, I’ve faced the questions: What now? Who am I, beyond the role I’ve played?
These experiences shape how I coach. I offer a reflective, non-judgemental space where you can bring your whole self — ambition, uncertainty, creativity, and contradiction. I won’t tell you what to do. But I will help you see more clearly, act more confidently, and grow more sustainably through confidence coaching, leadership coaching, and women in business coaching.
My approach
- Grounded and compassionate
- Values-led, but practical
- Flexible to your pace, energy, and needs
- Rooted in real-life experience, not idealised theory
