Take control of your career with the help of an expert
Work with me to explore work-related opportunities and challenges, unearth powerful insights, and define practical next steps. I recognise that building a great relationship with you is key, and you can expect a warm, positive, supportive experience. Our sessions will be fully confidential and, for your peace of mind, backed up by a contract. We'll check-in regularly to ensure you're getting value from our time together. ✳️ My qualifications: I have a Professional Certificate in Executive Coaching from Henley Business School. The certification is triple accredited by the International Coaching Federation (ICF), Association for Coaching (AC) and the European Mentoring and Coaching Council (EMCC). ✳️ My career background: I have 25+ years working as a tech/business transformation and innovation consultant, across a very broad range of industries and FTSE 100 companies. Key to my success has been my ability to work well with others, be empathetic to their needs and motivations, and model a positive mindset that helps everyone bring their best self to the proceedings. There are few scenarios that I haven't come across, which sets me in good stead when it comes to quickly understanding your situation and being able to support you. ✳️ Other qualifications: I hold an MBA (Technology Management specialism), BA (Hons) in Psychology and Management Studies, Post-graduate diploma in Marketing (CIM), Foundation Certificate in Environmental Management (AIEMA), and various project and programme management qualifications. ✳️ Bonus: I am a hyper-curious lover of learning, meaning my career experience and qualifications are really just the tips of the hump-backed iceberg when it comes to the value I can bring to the coaching relationship. My areas of interest include practical philosophy, systems thinking, performance and mindset, entrepreneurship, technology, and health and well-being. ✳️ How it works: we'll start with a FREE introduction and chemistry call. We'll talk about the opportunities and challenges in your working life, explore how coaching could help, and you'll get a feel for what it would be like to work with me. As a follow-on, I'll pull together a package of coaching sessions based on your needs. We'll meet at a frequency that works for you. We'll use Zoom (or similar), or can meet in person if you're London-based.
I love the feeling that I’ve tangibly helped someone. And I feel privileged to have the opportunity to do so.
My original thinking was: “I have a lot of experience and knowledge that would be useful to people. Much of it doesn’t currently have an outlet, via consulting work. This will be a great way for me to pay it forward.” 🙌🏾
But as I built my coaching skills and experience, I came to realise that there is so much more to coaching. Yes, I can (and do) share my experience and knowledge, gained over several decades as an independent business consultant. But the art – and the real value to you as a client – comes from my ability to create a supportive space and act as a catalyst for your own ability to change - the ability that lies dormant within you.
I aim to provide a warm, friendly, supportive space for you to explore your opportunities and challenges, unearth powerful insights, and define practical next steps. I recognise that a great coach/client relationship is key. Our sessions will be fully confidential and, for your peace of mind, backed up by a contract. We'll check in regularly to ensure you're getting value from our time together.
But hold on - perhaps you're still not sure why you should get a coach? We're all faced with challenges and opportunities in our working lives. Those things that keep you awake at night. The factors that you know are holding you back. Or that golden opportunity you'd love to grasp...but you're not quite sure how to get started. Working with a good coach will help you:
✴️ Find the time to give these challenges and opportunities the attention they need. It's a bit like having a personal trainer - you commit, you do the work, you put into action, you repeat.
✴️ Get support with thinking through topics. Who is your sounding board with whom you can work through these topics? It's not easy to do this kind of deep thinking — and tap into the insights that come from it — on your own.
✴️ Think differently about your situation. Your coach will help you identify the limiting beliefs that are holding you back, and shine a light on the levers for change that are within your reach, yet are currently hidden to you.
✴️ Make stuff happen. Your coach will agree a clear, realistic goal for each of your sessions together. That in turn will support your definition — and ownership — of practical next steps for you to put into play. The result: real change.

My journey with Richie started in Dec 2022. This was more of a test and try as part of my research into career counselling. Although the meeting went well, I was very reluctant about finding a life coach and sceptical about the outcome. So, I moved on to another career coach – as I was looking for a quick one to understand what’s next for me? Perhaps I was more interested in removing a brain clog – what do I need to do next? I found another coach – an amazing one who did psychological assessments and helped to assess what type of jobs I enjoy the most. What I did not realize – how/where to start? So, my situation turned back to square one. Soon 2023 Xmas break appeared, same thoughts – what’s next? 2024, Jan – office commenced – usual train journey to office, an email popped up from Richie – asking me how am I doing – still looking for any life coach? I was completely blown away with this approach – 12 months later a truly passionate coach following, albeit marketing aspects involved, a genuine concern was felt in his approach. I then booked a consulting session and then finalized him as my “life coach”. You may wonder what is “life coach”? It is all about realizing “whole you” – head to toe, brain to gut, dreams to manifestations, negativity to positivity. After 3 months of my investment – I am not a different person. But I have changed a lot! I am very positive, good clarity towards larger purpose of life, manifesting big and bold vision, able to appreciate lot more, developed discipline in day-to-day – this resulted in 10 kilo’s weight reduction (my waist size reduced to 38 from 42, super tangible

I have previous experience working in Project Management, but I took a 10-year career break to have a family. Naturally, not only has the work scene changed but also my confidence dipped. I was referred to Susanne (the owner of RPMOWC) by a friend. She said to me "Trust me, Susanne gets it!" From our initial consultation to the completion of my PMO course and subsequently the CV writing sessions, Susanne has remained wholeheartedly dedicated to me and my success! Her professionalism and her attention to detail are unmatched. The course pack and content were super detailed. We teased out every aspect of PMO with weekly assignments and feedback. With the CV writing, it's easy to say you can look at templates on Google or use AI. No! Susanne found a way to accurately reflect my skills in way I would never have been able to. She made me dig deep to my skills and areas of my previous jobs I had long forgotten re; every experience is valuable. She has also helped me navigate the current job market and the types of jobs to look out for. One important thing I need to mention is - Susanne is a woman of faith! And though I am of a different faith from hers, we vibed! We could relate together when talking about life and God's purpose in our lives. Susanne is like the big sister you did not know you needed. While we had laughs and talks, you get one version of Susanne - professional, dedicated and consistent!
