As Global Head of Coaching at Talking Talent, Rebecca (Beks) is the coach coaches look to. With a world-class level of both group and 1-1 coaching experience, she is a sought-after expert on female career development and supporting parental transitions. She has made a difference to thousands of people from numerous world-leading organisations over two decades. An earlier demanding corporate career in Marketing at L’Oréal gives her in-depth understanding of the high-pressure work environments typically faced by her clients – and a passion for keeping it real. Beks excels at creating a safe space, fast, coupled with empathetic challenge to drive change, whether coaching her own clients or in her leadership of the diverse, extensive Talking Talent Global Coach Faculty.
Her thought leadership has frequently featured across media including Forbes, Huffington Post and The Guardian, and she has addressed audiences from London Business School to UN Women in Geneva. She lives with her husband and three sons, plus (in a forlorn attempt at gender balance!) female dog and chickens, in Bath, UK, having grown up in Kenya and lived in France and Italy.
