Hello
The joy of being in my 50's is that I am happily many things. The layers and threads of different experiences are knitted together into the one big tapestry that makes me who I am.
​
Offering #BeBetterTogether Coaching and Coach Supervision follows on from a first career that started in marketing, took in strategy and commercial buying and ended with change management. Leadership of a few direct reports morphed into a sizeable project team of indirect reports & responsibility for improving customer experience. Governance experience was gained as a Trustee for a charity that focused on minimising social isolation and loneliness. Along with leading the UK ICF Chapter as President during Covid.
​
A focus on nurturing healthy relationships is purposeful work that feels needed in a world of individualism, splits and division. I see it as a contribution towards acknowledging our mutuality and building capacity and capability for quality interaction.
I love learning, so I continue to layer on new experiences and spend time reflecting on who I am and how I want to show up. It feels natural to evolve rather than stand still. I invite you to join me.
Active Enthusiast
A love of outdoor adventures was catalysed by an active childhood growing up in Hong Kong. I'm always excited by the unknown element of an adventure, and the focus of a physical challenge. It's time together with loved ones. You'll find me in the mountains and by the sea; on my bike, skis or paddle board.
Playful Creator
Laugh and hold it with lightness. Play for me is making it up as you go knowing it's rooted in years of experience. Create, test, learn. It's a form of expression to co-create, write, design and share. To build, test and learn.
Quiet Specialist
A natural preference for quiet and intimate spaces with time to deepen my understanding. I've always turned to writing to process my experience, and I continue this practice with my personal reflections in Flow with Felicity. I love the learning that each client brings me and weaving this into insights to share with others.

My Story
Honesty Insight: Until my 40s I felt uneasy in many of my relationships.
Whether in social or work settings, I frequently experienced awkwardness; a lack of words with breath stuck in my throat and a rigid disjointed body.
My coping strategy was to concentrate on tasks and I honed my skills in bringing structure and coordination to teams and projects.
I had a feeling of being an outsider, so I became adept at observing, listening, and summarising both the details and the bigger picture.
Lacking confidence in my intrinsic worth, I sought to build it by meeting others' needs, which fostered a servant leadership approach.
All of these developments arose from coping, not from a place of strength. I was the classic swan, looking calm above the water and paddling madly with my feet to keep up. It felt like I lived on the edge of myself.
My breakthrough in relationships occurred in 2009 when I began coaching. I was amazed by the transformative power of the intimate trust co-created in the coaching relationship. This shifted my self-perception in relationships from task-oriented towards people and the quality of our connection. I felt within the relationship and calm throughout my whole self. I was filled with energy.
This experience prompted me to ask questions like: How can I infuse this quality into all my work relationships? How does it promote growth, transparency and trust? What created a safe space for me to be my true self? And how does it serve as the foundation for teamwork and culture?
My passion for understanding relationships and helping others access their true selves in various work contexts continues to drive my development and work.
