Executive and Professional Coaching
Professional success brings complex challenges: difficult conversations, competing priorities, strained relationships and decisions that affect others. Whether you are leading an organisation, stepping into greater responsibility or navigating a demanding stage of your career, coaching gives you dedicated space to think clearly, challenge your assumptions and move forward with purpose.
At PROFILE Coaching, we work with you to understand your needs and turn that insight into action. Your goals shape the work you do with your coach. Your coach brings thoughtful questions, constructive challenge and support to help you recognise patterns, explore options and develop more effective ways of working.
Together, we can help you:
-
Build confidence and communicate with greater authority.
-
Navigate conflict and handle difficult conversations constructively.
-
Strengthen leadership, delegation and working relationships.
-
Give and receive feedback with clarity and confidence.
-
Manage competing demands, set boundaries and focus on what matters.
-
Recognise beliefs and behaviours that may be holding you back.
-
Focus on your wellbeing, life balance and stress management.
Each session connects reflection with action: what you are learning, what you will do differently and how you will recognise progress. Where useful, coaching can be complemented by practical tools, mentoring, skills development or psychometric profiling.
Sessions are confidential and delivered one to one, online via Zoom or face to face where available. Your first conversation is with Marina Shearer, who will explore your needs and help identify the right coaching fit—whether with her personally or a trusted coach from our nationwide network.

The right expertise. A connection that works for you.
Your first conversation is with Marina Shearer, Founder and Lead Coach at PROFILE Coaching. Together, you will explore what you want to achieve and the support that would serve you best.
You may work directly with Marina. Where another coach’s experience or approach would better suit your needs, she will introduce you to a trusted professional from the PROFILE Coaching network.
You will have the opportunity to meet your proposed coach and decide whether the fit feels right before committing. We consider your goals, professional context and preferred working style when recommending a coach.
