Coaching 

I coach executives, leaders and managers by creating a safe, energising space. I offer online and in-person sessions that are based on a Theory of Joy and use music as a tool for self discovery. I will:

Build confidence and clarity of purpose

Navigate change and new responsibilities

Focus on inclusion and empower you to be your best

Enable you to reconnect with creativity, music and joy​.

Consulting

I support leaders and managers  to navigate change, strengthen strategy, and build inclusive, sustainable futures.

 

Working across the music education sector and the wider music industry, I deliver practical action plans, organisational development, and tailored consultancy that turns vision into measurable impact.

Theory of Joy 

Inspired by Dr Arun Verma's Theory of Joy, I coach with joy as a serious and transformative leadership resource rather than a fleeting emotion. 

 

In leadership, we often prioritise performance, productivity and resilience, while overlooking joy as something secondary or indulgent. Yet joy expands perspective, strengthens emotional steadiness and reconnects us to our values and identity. 

 

My coaching approach is unique because it intentionally integrates creative reflection, embodied awareness and culturally responsive practice to help leaders access joy as a source of clarity, courage and relational intelligence. By noticing and cultivating moments of joy in everyday life — through creativity, connection, meaning or insight, leaders build resilience, prevent burnout and foster more compassionate relationships. The result is not only more effective leadership, but greater presence, wellbeing and fulfilment in life.

Coaching with Music

In my coaching practice, I use music as a purposeful leadership tool. By integrating meaningful music into our sessions, I create shared experiences that quickly transform hierarchy into authentic human connection. 

 

Music activates emotion, memory, creativity and empathy simultaneously, helping leaders access insight that traditional dialogue alone often cannot reach. 

 

My unique approach strengthens emotional intelligence, sharpens strategic thinking and builds trust at depth. Music unlocks perspective, reignites purpose and embeds learning in a way that drives sustainable behavioural change.

What People Say

Senior Leader in education

Having recently started a new Senior Leadership role, the coaching sessions with Sharon have been invaluable in helping me adjust to the position. She has enabled me to grow in confidence, reflect on the type of leader I want to be, and identify the steps I need to take to achieve this.

Sharon delivers her sessions in an informal and friendly manner, which builds trust and has helped me face new challenges and move forward from my previous role. I particularly enjoy starting each session with a piece of music that means something to me. Thank you Sharon, you've been amazing!
