Previous Success:
Pippa was moving into a senior role in a new part of the social impact sector. She was looking for a space to unpack her insecurities about returning to a leadership role as well as looking critically at the position of power that came with being a funder.
“Roxana helped me to identify the issues I needed to consider, how I could make progress in my thinking and how I would know I had reached clarity on an issue. I’d recommend her for anyone who wants to take a step away from their day-to-day life and find a way to move their thinking forward."
