Hannah Saunders

Hannah is a coach and pitch specialist. She helps high potential individuals cultivate a ‘winner’s mindset’ so they’re set up for success. Her clients have usually sensed more is possible, or glimpsed a future they’d like to create, but need help to get from A to B (sometimes via C). Through structured exploration, Hannah enables her clients to identify and push past any barriers so they can move from good to great and beyond.

Background

As a former Managing Director of a content marketing agency, Hannah has first-hand experience of many challenges executives face. And with her background as pitch lead for countless global brand wins, she knows what high performing teams look like and the impact team dynamics can have on commercial success.

Hannah has launched offices and built full-service agency teams from the ground up in Hong Kong, Shanghai, and Cape Town to service new clients, post-pitch. She embraces cultural diversity and enjoys working with international clients, having lived and worked in Asia for several years. On her return to the UK on the birth of her son (now three), she formalised her on-the-job coaching skills with Barefoot’s world-leading coach training and has ACC accreditation from the ICF. She is currently completing her PG Certificate with the University of Chester and undertakes regular CPD and supervision. She is an Associate Career Coach with Randstad RiseSmart; an Associate with Mindbeat; and offers 1-2-1 and group coaching on a range of topics.

Style

Hannah sees her role as enabler: helping clients to notice and then navigate any obstacles and go on to achieve more than they believed possible when they first came to her. She is energetic, humorous and fun, challenging whilst being engaging, warm and open, and she understands the pressures of leadership. Her approach is strategic and structured, whilst always being client centred.

In addition to the many benefits you’d expect from a coaching programme with a skilled coach – a heightened sense of self-awareness, a shift in thinking/behaviour, increased confidence – Hannah gets results. Whether it’s more revenue to the bottom line or a double promotion, she brings her commercial mindset to the coaching space to deliver some very tangible outcomes.
