Trusted by leaders across global and local organisations
Your people have built their careers on specialist knowledge and the ability to deliver. As their responsibilities grow, they need to achieve results through others while contributing to the wider direction of the business.
That transition can bring challenges. Decisions keep returning to senior leaders. Managers stay closely involved in work their teams could own. Difficult conversations are delayed, and immediate delivery leaves little time to develop people.
I support organisations to strengthen leadership at these points, working with managers taking on greater responsibility and senior executives navigating more complex demands.
The focus is on developing leaders who give clear direction, exercise sound judgement and create the conditions for others to perform.

I’m Lizzie Butcher, a Leadership Development Specialist and Executive Coach.
Knowing how to delegate or handle a difficult conversation is only the starting point. Under pressure, leaders can find themselves stepping back in, holding on to decisions or avoiding the conversations they intended to have.
My work combines practical leadership development with an understanding of the habits and responses that shape how people lead.
Through workshops and individual coaching, leaders explore their own approach and apply new skills to situations they face at work. We review what happens and refine their approach as they progress.
I bring commercial leadership experience alongside an Accredited Diploma in Transformational Coaching and training as a Somatic Stress Release Practitioner. My style is warm and direct, creating space for honest reflection while challenging leaders to put their learning into practice.

The workshop was insightful and empowering. The focus on emotions, breathing techniques, and values provided practical tools we can use daily. Lizzie’s encouragement to confidently own our expertise was inspiring, thank you for such a valuable experience.
Senior Manager
Bainbridge Electrical
I found the sessions interesting and informative. I had low confidence in challenging situations, but found as each session progressed my confidence appeared to grow each time. Lizzie has navigated us through scenarios we are all facing with daily as managers and provided us with new, practical skills to use and build on as we progress as leaders.

Working with Lizzie has been hugely illuminating and enjoyable. She enabled me to find confidence in my abilities and leadership, that I'd been missing up until now. I found our 1:1 sessions especially helpful and was really impressed at how into the detail she was, despite having a large cohort of colleagues to think about at the same time
Senior Manager

Lizzie’s training was interesting and interactive. I learned how to recognise my stress signals early and pause before reacting, which has made me a calmer, more supportive leader. I’m now handling high pressure projects with much greater confidence, and my team has noticed the difference too.
Head of Product & Pricing

Coaching with Lizzie has been transformative, and feedback from colleagues across the business already reflects the changes. Her guidance challenged me to think more strategically about my department’s direction, I’ve learned to communicate more effectively, set firm yet fair boundaries, handle difficult conversations with ease, and focus on what truly drives progress by cutting through complexity and communicating with intent.
Operations Director

I now use coaching style questions instead of stepping in to solve problems, which has changed how my team operates day to day. They take greater ownership, feel more empowered and rely far less on me.
CTO
Field Energy
I’m giving my team clearer direction and more space to take ownership, freeing me up to focus on our strategic direction and the results we need to achieve as a business. Lizzie has helped me become more intentional about how I lead, and to adapt my communication to get the best from them.
The work is shaped around live organisational realities, focusing on the decisions, dynamics, and conversations that are actively influencing performance. Sessions tend to move between reflection and direct application as leadership situations unfold.
Senior leaders and executive teams operating in environments where complexity is high and performance expectations are already strong, and where the next level of performance depends on expanded clarity, alignment, and leadership capacity.
Yes. Engagements are structured for individual executives, leadership pairs, leadership teams, or wider organisational groups depending on where the greatest leverage for change sits.
Yes. I work with individual executives and organisations commissioning coaching for their leaders. Where an organisation sponsors the work, we agree development objectives and confidentiality boundaries at the start.
