What Others Have Said

  • “Lydia inspired me to be the best I can be. Early in my career, she was someone I looked up to and it was a privilege to work alongside her. She is strategic, bold and focused, bringing results wherever she dedicates her efforts. Lydia’s leadership and example continue to motivate me to aim higher and achieve more.”

    Ayo Barley, University of York

  • “Within minutes of meeting Lydia you feel like you’ve known her for years — you like her, you trust her, and you know you’re in expert hands. She is a warm, genuine person as well as an award-winning business coach and strategist. Working with Lydia benefits not only your business but also your team, your clients, and most importantly, you.”

    Emma Baker, Business Consultant

  • “Lydia is a true visionary coach. She created the Accelerate programme to address the lack of multicultural leadership in the advertising and creative industry, turning it into a groundbreaking success that transformed careers. Lydia combines strategic vision with empathy and practical tools, helping leaders push past limits, unlock their potential, and lead with confidence.”

    Catriona R.
    Partnerships Consultant, Creative Equals

  • “Lydia facilitated the Black Female Entrepreneurs Roundtable at HSBC with professionalism and energy, creating an inspiring, collaborative environment. Participants walked away empowered with practical strategies, fresh insights, and the confidence to take their ventures further.”

    David C. Hall, Unlocked Potential Awards

  • “The Accelerate programme gave me the tools to push past self-doubt and rediscover my authentic voice. In a safe and supportive environment, Lydia helped me clarify my identity, values and strengths. I now step into leadership opportunities with far greater confidence.”

    Balj Le Fleur, MediaCom

  • “The Accelerate programme was one of the most transformational experiences of my life. Lydia created a safe space to explore identity, build confidence and connect with a powerful community of leaders. I walked away with clarity, confidence and practical strategies that continue to shape my personal and professional journey.

    Joyce Ella Dodd, Publicis

  • “The Accelerate programme was transformational both personally and professionally. I gained the confidence to step up at work, from seeking sponsorship from senior leaders to boldly leading a D&I network. Lydia’s passion and encouragement helped me push past barriers and achieve more than I thought possible.”

    Shakira Akinjobi, Wavemaker

  • “Lydia helped me identify my core values and gave me the confidence to act on them. With her coaching, I founded my own company and became a charity trustee. Her holistic approach blends career coaching, life coaching and psychology in a truly powerful way.”

    Ozoda Muminova, The Good Insight

  • “Time spent with Lydia has been life-changing and has given me the confidence to pursue my dreams. She gets right to the core of who you are and what you want to achieve, combining skill, patience and insight. Lydia is not only an incredible coach but a beautiful soul.”

    Boma Fitzpatrick-Hart, Telegraph

  • "Before meeting Lydia I was not convinced that coaching was something that was really effective. She turned that perception on its head. Three sessions with her were the most valuable time spent as I came away with a new outlook in terms of my own values and motivations. She suggested some fantastic ways to improve my work life and afterwards I felt driven to make some changes which have proved to be extremely positive. I can't recommend Lydia enough - i didn't think I needed a coach and have come away convinced that it is something anyone could benefit from."

    Tara Wilkinson

  • "Lydia has been a hugely inspirational life coach to me. As soon as I met her last year I realised she was the positive bundle energy that I needed to help move me forward onto the next stage of both my career and life in general. She helped me out of the rut I was stuck in and to see past hurdles I had in my way. She is a great teacher, because she listens so well and makes any problem seem surmountable. She has been a wonderful influence upon me and I'm sure that we will continue to work with each other in the future to help break down barriers together."

    Melinda Rogers

  • “Lydia is a positive ball of energy who creates rare space for reflection and clarity. In just one session, she helped me focus on what I want, what I’ve achieved, and where I’m heading. Her priceless life and career advice is invaluable in a fast-paced, competitive industry.”

    Jenny Ybañez-Watson, Broadcast Journalist

  • “Lydia is a clear, open and bold coach who inspires new ways of thinking and creating. She has supported me in stepping up to big business goals with confidence. Her generosity and willingness to connect you to her networks make her an invaluable coach.”

    Anna B Sexton

  • “Lydia helped me unlock my potential by focusing on my strengths and building resilience. With her guidance, I developed the confidence and skills to succeed in the biggest exam of my career. Her unique approach to mindfulness and positivity inspires lasting personal and professional growth.”

    Sana Ali, Paediatric Radiologist, NHS

  • Lydia has a genuine interest in people and helps you clarify what you want to achieve with a clear strategy to get there. She pushes you to think bigger, challenges you to grow, and gives you practical steps to make progress. Thanks to her proactive approach, I gained opportunities I wouldn’t have found on my own.
