FOR HR, TALENT AND PEOPLE TEAMS IN ST ALBANS, LONDON AND INTERNATIONALLY
Executive Coaching and Female Talent Support for Organisations
Talented women rarely leave because they lack ability. They leave at the transitions: maternity return, a step up, a moment of stalled progression, where the organisation stopped fitting. I help you support them through those moments, so your best people come back, stay, and rise.
I work with HR Directors, People & Culture teams, Talent leaders, DEI teams and organisations looking to support, retain and develop female talent.

Supporting Female Talent Through Maternity Leave
RDI REIT PLC | Female Talent Retention and Maternity Support
The Challenge
RDI REIT PLC, a former FTSE 250 real estate group, wanted to provide meaningful support for expectant mothers as they prepared for maternity leave, navigated their time away from work and planned their return to the workplace.
The Approach
Anna was retained to create a programme of support for expectant mothers, accompanying them from the point at which they embarked on maternity leave through their maternity journey and right through to their return to the workplace.
The programme provided ongoing support across the transition, helping the women navigate this significant period while maintaining a connection with their working lives.
The Impact
During the years Anna supported RDI REIT PLC, the company experienced a 100% retention rate.
Feedback from those on the programme was exemplary, with the work supporting the organisation’s ambition around gender diversity and the retention of female talent.
In the words of Donald Grant
“Feedback from those on the programme was exemplary. I would highly recommend Anna’s services to those who wish to support their gender diversity vision and secure the retention of this key talent pool.”
Support designed around your organisation
Every organisation is different, and so are the women within it.
The right support for a senior leader navigating progression isn’t necessarily the right support for someone returning from maternity leave, or for a high-potential employee facing a career transition.
My private coaching programmes are designed around the individual. When I work with organisations, I take that same individualised approach while also considering the wider organisational context: your people strategy, culture, talent priorities and the outcomes you’re looking to achieve.
Rather than offering a one-size-fits-all package, I work with you to understand what your organisation and your people need, and then design the appropriate coaching or support around those needs.
