Coaching
A shorter-term commitment. Goal-oriented, working towards a defined outcome. Typically one to three months.
Services
Coaching, mentoring and consulting
Four ways we can work together: for actuaries, for their managers, and for the businesses that employ them. Not sure which you need? We’ll work that out together in your first session.
Coaching or mentoring?
Mentoring
A longer-term commitment, focused on getting the best out of the every day. We may set goals and strategies along the way, but there isn’t necessarily a defined change or achievement at the end of the road, other than feeling great.
For you
One-to-one
Actuarial mentoring
Early to mid career mentoring, to improve your every day.
Longer-term support catered to the specific challenges you’re facing: the day-to-day of the role, the people around you, or working out what you want next.
Coaching
Accelerating your actuarial career, or taking another direction.
Goal-oriented and shorter-term, working towards a defined outcome. That might be accelerating your career in actuarial, whatever that means for you: role, seniority, salary or something else. Or it might be a change of direction, if you know, or suspect, that actuarial isn’t the right fit and want to work out what’s next and how to get there.
I have a network of employers and recruiters across the market that I can link you with, if you’d like.
One thing I don’t offer is exam coaching.
For teams and businesses
Bespoke
Two ways I work with organisations, shaped around what you need.
Bespoke team mentoring and coaching
Getting the best out of your team.
Actuarial managers often have the technical skills but not the time, or the emotional intelligence, to understand the intricacies of different personality types, home lives, individual challenges and long-term goals. This can be outsourced. I’ll shape mentoring and coaching around the people in your team, on a corporate membership.
Actuarial pricing consulting
Pricing expertise when you need it.
Nearly fifteen years in pricing roles across the London, Lloyd’s and Bermuda reinsurance markets, spanning Marine, Casualty, Property and most Specialty lines. I have delivered or been involved in a wide range of projects, from the Lloyd’s SBF to pricing model development and delivery, elements of new underwriting systems, and PPO and Ogden discount rate work. Get in touch to talk through what you need.
How it works
What will our sessions look like?
We meet regularly, one-to-one. My approach is warm and friendly, and loosely structured.
Where
Sessions are virtual, over Microsoft Teams. I would also like to offer in-person, face-to-face availability, especially if that’s your preference and our diaries allow. Let me know if that’s how you’d prefer to catch up.
Initial meet
A two-hour session, the same whether you’re thinking of coaching or mentoring.
Hour one: we really get to know each other, our backgrounds, and what’s brought you here.
Hour two: we start defining what you want from this and formulate an outcome for the session. You may not know whether you’d like coaching or mentoring. We can figure out which is most appropriate together, or I’ll recommend one path over the other.
After that
I’ll suggest a minimum frequency, based on the plan we develop together. You’re also welcome to meet as often as works best for you, subject to my availability.
Commitment
There is a time commitment here, and it’s the first hurdle of working together. If it feels like too much, we’re unlikely to meet beyond the first session, and that’s all right.
Pricing
Simple, upfront pricing
All prices are in pounds sterling. Start with an initial session. After that, book by the hour with no commitment, or choose a membership for the term that suits you.

Why me
Why work with me?
-
I’ve been where you are
Several times over. I get it, and I can level with you. There’s no need to figure this out on your own: let’s put two brains together, formulate a plan, and get you living the best life possible.
-
A unique skill set
I understand your challenges from the inside, I have a broad global network, and I bring both work and life experience to the table.
-
A real gap in the market
Genuine actuarial coaching and mentoring is hard to find. You won’t find a service like this elsewhere.
Rather than stalling, wondering whether we may or may not be a good fit, sign up for an initial session and see how we get on. If it’s not for you, I’ll give you a 50% refund on the initial meet.
Step in with courage.
Book your two-hour initial session. The first hour is free.
