Unlock Your Potential with
Leadership and Executive Coaching
Leadership isn't just about strategy, actions and results - it’s about the people you lead, the relationships you build, and the culture you create. In today’s world, where remote teams and technology often replace human interaction, it’s easy to forget that leadership is fundamentally about connecting with people.
As a leader, navigating constant change and uncertainty is one of the biggest challenges you’ll face, especially in growing or scale-up businesses. The ability to manage change effectively is what separates great leaders from the rest. It requires an approach that embraces adaptability, resilience, and proactive thinking. Leaders need to approach change with a growth mindset and see it as an opportunity to learn, innovate, and grow.
If you’re feeling caught up in the day-to-day actions and challenges, you need space to step back, reflect, and reassess. Whether it’s revisiting your business’s purpose, culture or strategy, realigning your direction, or exploring your personal growth and career, coaching helps you to shift perspective, focus on the bigger picture and be succesful.
That’s where I come in.
I help leaders and founders to grow.
We’ll work together to develop greater emotional intelligence and leadership confidence. I’ll help you:
Create a leadership style that is uniquely yours – this isn’t about following a one-size-fits-all approach. You’ll develop your authentic leadership voice, empowering you to lead with clarity, empathy, and confidence.
Manage change with resilience – together, we’ll explore how you can embrace change and uncertainty, turn them into opportunities, and navigate your leadership journey with agility.
Build trust, collaboration, and alignment with colleagues, clients, and stakeholders. Understand why you click with some people and not with others – by exploring the dynamics that shape your relationships.
Strengthen your relationships – building meaningful relationships that inspire trust and mutual respect is critical to your success as a leader. We’ll explore ways to connect deeply with those around you, creating an environment of open communication and collaboration.
Why work with me as a Coach
I am more than just a guide - I’m a trusted and supportive ally, and accountability partner. My role is to create a safe, constructive space where you can explore challenges, reflect on your leadership, and achieve personal and professional growth.
I love helping leaders and their businesses thrive. I bring a deep understanding of leadership dynamics and a people-first approach to every coaching session. Whether you’re a business founder, senior executive, or part of a leadership team, I’ll help you navigate the complexities of leadership, align your decisions with your core values and lead with confidence.
Through thought-provoking coaching conversations, we’ll build a strong, trusting relationship that balances support and challenge. I’ll encourage you to reflect on your purpose and direction, helping you clarify your goals and overcome obstacles. Together, we’ll ensure that every decision you make is purposeful and impactful.
Expect honest, open, and sometimes challenging discussions that will push you toward deeper self-awareness and professional growth. You’ll develop the confidence, clarity, and skills you need to lead effectively and create sustainable success. You’ll also develop emotional intelligence, enhance your ability to communicate and collaborate and build stronger, more meaningful relationships with those you lead.
About Polly Robinson
I’m a qualified Executive Coach and Mentor (ILM Level 7), with years of experience of working with business leaders and founders particularly in SMEs and fast-growth and scale-up organisations.
I’m based in Bristol and work with clients across the South West, London and the United Kingdom, even one or two in the US and Europe. I am happy to meet you in person or online, or a mixture of the two. Wherever you are, I’m here to support you in stepping into your leadership potential and creating the impact you need.
How Coaching Works
Exploratory Call: We’ll begin with an initial chat (sometimes called a chemistry session) for you to talk about what you hope to gain from coaching, find out more about my approach and see if there is a good fit and rapport for us to work together.
Flexible Sessions: Coaching can be face-to-face in Bristol, Bath, Somerset, the South West, or London—or virtually via Zoom or Teams. Sessions are typically fortnightly or monthly, with support available in between.
Tailored to You: We’ll agree a plan that works for your schedule and priorities, with most coaching programmes lasting 6–8 sessions.
