I’m Claire — a mentor, former elected official, and long-time advocate for clarity, courage and practical leadership. I support purpose-led entrepreneurs (especially women) who are building something meaningful — and need a calm, strategic voice to help them navigate moments of challenge, change, or conflict.
My work is ideal for short-term interventions where insight and perspective matter:
- Coaching founders through difficult decision points
- Supporting teams navigating internal tensions or mission drift
- Facilitating values-led planning or communication strategies
- Offering an external, strategic sounding board
With two decades of experience across business development, political negotiation, and community leadership, I’m especially skilled at:
- Helping people stay grounded during high-stakes or high-emotion moments
- Translating competing perspectives into shared language and practical steps
- Strengthening conflict resilience without losing connection or clarity
- Supporting cross-party, cross-sector collaboration (especially in public or policy-driven contexts)
If you’re seeking someone who can step into complexity quickly, hold space for all voices at the table, and help bring focus to values-led work, I’d love to support your next project.
I work best in short, focused engagements — a few sessions, a strategy sprint, or a targeted facilitation — and I’m comfortable working online or contributing via written insight depending on the need.
Let’s connect if you’re looking for thoughtful support, grounded insight, and someone who understands the emotional and strategic weight of leading something you believe in.More...
