Coaching. culture. leadership.
At Humankind, I help people and organisations bring out the best in themselves - not with complexity or slogans, but through everyday signals, practical tools and meaningful conversations that actually move things forward.
Whether you’re navigating change, building leadership capability or simply trying to create a culture where people feel seen and supported, my work is grounded in modern psychology, deep organisational experience and one clear belief:

Hi, I’m Claire.
After 20+ years in people leadership - and most recently eight years as Chief People Officer in a high growth tech scale-up - I’ve seen one truth repeated everywhere.
The way people feel at work shapes everything.
Engagement, performance, trust, innovation…it all flows from how leaders show up and how culture is lived day to day.
I’m a certified coach and culture builder who has supported founders, executive teams, managers and high potential talent through growth, uncertainty, transformation and personal transition.
I created Humankind to make that support more accessible - practical, honest, human and tailored to the moments that matter.
