Professional background
Cornelia began her career working as a current affairs newspaper journalist before joining the classroom to work in challenging schools in London on the graduate Teach First Leadership Development Programme. Fascinated by leadership and behaviour seen in the political and education arena, she then embarked on a career working as a management consultant specialising in leadership development, both in the UK and the Middle East. Seizing the opportunity to combine her interests in psychology and leadership development, she then trained as a Psychologist. As a Chartered Leadership Psychologist, she has established three boutique leadership development organisations.
Coaching expertise
Cornelia’s research-informed coaching approach draws on a particular expertise and interest in developing positive leadership behaviours, including connection and compassion, values-based action, resilience, adaptability, strengths and emotional flexibility. She uses a range of coaching and psychological methodologies to best support leaders, their teams, and organisations with any given challenge. As a former senior executive and now business owner herself, Cornelia has first-hand experience of the challenges leaders at senior level face, and uses both this experience and deep psychological knowledge of the human experience to inform her coaching philosophy.
