Executive Coach & Supervisor

With over 25 years of experience, Jude has worked with leaders across diverse industries, helping them develop clarity, confidence, and effectiveness in high-stakes environments. In 2012, alongside Nick Isbister, she recognised that traditional coaching often lacked a systemic view—focusing too narrowly on the individual rather than the organisational context in which they operate. This realisation led them to create Listening Partnership and develop narrative coaching, an integrated approach that aligns both the individual and their organisational narrative.

Jude’s commitment to coaching grew from a desire to enable leaders to connect their personal stories with the broader stories of their organisations, creating meaningful and lasting change. Her coaching is both supportive and challenging, tailored to each individual, and designed to create space for rigorous thinking and personal growth. Her approach is built on systemic thinking, emotional intelligence, and the power of meaningful conversations to navigate lasting change.

Jude’s coaching is grounded in deep listening, meaningful dialogue, and a systemic view of leadership. She works with senior leaders to uncover patterns, sharpen their thinking, and navigate complexity with confidence. Her coaching is:

• Systemic & Relational – Exploring leadership within a broader context.
• Reflective & Insightful – Creating the conditions for new awareness and perspective shifts.
• Practical & Action-Oriented – Translating insights into tangible steps for development.

Drawing on gestalt, narrative coaching, and systemic methodologies, Jude adapts her approach to the needs of each client. Her sessions encourage self-awareness, resilience, and the ability to navigate an evolving professional landscape.

Jude provides coaching supervision, offering a space for professional reflection and development. Her supervision practice is **thought-provoking and structured, supporting other coaches in refining their practice, building confidence, and maintaining ethical and professional standards.

She works with both established and newly qualified coaches, focusing on narrative coaching and systemic approaches to deepen coaching impact and professional development.

Jude is a trainer and facilitator, co-designing and delivering coaching and leadership training programmes. These programmes support executive coaches and leadership teams in integrating narrative coaching, systemic leadership, and transformational coaching methodologies into their practice.

Her training style is engaging, interactive, and structured, fostering confidence and capability in those she works with. Participants develop fresh perspectives and gain skills that create lasting impact in their businesses.
