Your Partner in Leadership Growth

I’m Marianne Webb — a Leadership and Development Coach with over 20 years’ experience working with senior leaders and teams, particularly in the public sector.

Before coaching, I was a Head of Communications, advising executive teams and working closely with board-level leaders. 

I understand the pressures of senior roles — the politics, the pace, and the weight of decisions that rest solely on your shoulders. From crisis management to team restructuring, I’ve worked closely with leadership teams, offering perspective during critical moments. These experiences shaped my belief that effective leadership requires both reflection and challenge.

Coaching is a natural progression, and it allows me to use what I’ve learned — both from my own leadership journey and from supporting others — to help clients find clarity and confidence in their own path.

What it’s like to work with me?

Stuck? Doubting yourself? Unsure how to lead in a busy organisation where everything feels like a priority?

You're not alone. My clients are often in roles where the expectations are high, but support is limited. They want to lead with purpose and confidence — but aren’t always sure how.

I believe you already hold the answers. My role is to create a safe, honest space where those answers can surface — through reflection, constructive challenge and a touch of humour.

Coaching with me offers:

  • Honest conversations that help you see things differently

  • Time away from the noise to explore your goals and barriers

  • Making sense of the mess and turning it into something useful

  • Building trust in yourself and your decisions

A Bit More About Me

I’ve spent most of my career in public sector communications — leading teams, managing crises, and advising on high-profile decisions.

I’ve sat in rooms where difficult calls were made, and I’ve been the one to reflect back the wider impact, often playing the role of the organisation’s conscience.

I’ve helped leaders navigate restructures, crises, and the everyday weight of responsibility. That’s why I now offer others the same kind of space — to pause, think clearly, and move forward.

My experience includes:

  • Leading teams of up to 50 people

  • Managing budgets of up to £2.5 million

  • Working across education, transport, health, policing, and regulation

  • Collaborating with senior leaders, journalists, MPs, and government departments
