**********************************************************************

Helen Hanison has spent over a decade coaching leaders, founders, and leadership teams who look successful on paper, but feel stuck, misaligned, or at risk of losing their best people. Her work focuses on helping leaders-in-waiting regain momentum, clarity, and confidence before disengagement quietly sets in. With early experience as a Consultant Director at H+K Strategies and a first-class degree in Psychology, Helen brings both commercial credibility and behavioural depth. She now works with organisations like Shell, Citibank, GSK, IBM, and WPP, designing leadership interventions that strengthen emotional resilience, psychological safety, and purposeful performance.

Helen is also the bestselling author of Unstuck, where she shares her practical framework for purposeful career redesign, born from her own experience of climbing the corporate ladder only to realise it was leaning against the wrong wall. Her work is especially relevant for consulting firm owners navigating retention challenges, leadership fatigue, and the quiet disengagement of high performers.
