My journey

Hello,

Nice to meet you, I’m Geraldine. I work as an independent Executive Coach and Occupational Psychologist alongside working part-time at tails.com as a Senior Learning and Development Manager. I have built the tails.com training offering from scratch, designing and facilitating workshops with Chiefs and Directors to address top management needs. I also coach senior executives on their pathway to Director level. Both my independent and tails.com work enrich each other; my practice is kept up with trends in the start-up and scale-up business world.  

Prior to this, I built most of my career at innocent drinks, as a People Partner for Europe  where I closely partnered the Country Managers (Board Members) to lead the people agenda in a high growth period (40% growth year on year) for a third of the innocent team generating nearly half of the group revenue. I gained experiences working with teams in the UK, France, Austria, the Netherlands and Scandinavian countries. 

I am passionate about connecting the psychology and business worlds together, using tried and tested coaching tools to support individuals and groups to unleash their potential. Through coaching, you will experience a delicate balance of support and challenge, to open up your mind to new opportunities. I have helped senior executives to scope their goals, take ownership of their future and build confidence in their abilities. We will work together to tailor my support to your needs in a safe environment in order to open up new horizons.

  • 'I can’t recommend Geraldine’s coaching enough! I loved her coaching because of how powerful and subtle her style is. Her wealth of knowledge is noticeable; she has a helpful tool for every topic you share. Little by little, she helped me to unpeel every single word I said. I’m not saying this vaguely. I’m a certified coach, and I have experienced coaching for many years, so when I tell you, you should experience Geraldine’s coaching, I mean it!’ .'
