ABOUT US

We are Growth Space

We believe that every business can be a place where people aspire to work, feel valued, and have opportunities to grow.

Hello, I’m Polly,
Executive Coach, Facilitator and
Founder of Growth Space

I’m passionate about developing confident leaders, thriving, engaged teams, happy cultures and people-first workplaces.

I love building human connections.

I’m a qualitifed Executive Coach and experienced facilitator with years of experience of running my own businesses, and understand the challenges that leaders face in growing a succesful business.

We believe

We believe that every business can be a place where people aspire to work, feel valued, and have opportunities to grow. We’re here to help you:

  • Develop confident, emotionally intelligent leaders who inspire growth and success.

  • Create resilient, motivated teams that build successful organisations.

  • Cultivate a culture that inspires, motivate

We believe that human to human connection and better relationships matter more in a world which is dominated by technology, hybrid working and where we don’t spend enough time connecting in person.

We work with leaders and their people in organisations in a range of sectors from tech to hospitality. It’s not about the industry it’s about the people.

We particularly enjoy supporting growing SMEs and Scale-Up businesses and teams that are facing the pressure of growth and change.

Our coaching and people-development programmes help you build and create a strong culture, attract the right people, and build a motivated, high-performing team.
