About Me

My BBC Background

I have led the change management aspects of the two most complex digital transformation projects ever seen at the BBC.

I’m a highly experienced health journalist. I reported on air on many major stories – including the Covid pandemic – for BBC News for two decades.

This meant I developed a great working knowledge of NHS politics, medical research and global health.

The changes I’ve made

I wanted to understand more about media strategy.

So I worked with an innovative business improvement team. I led Lean change projects, before qualifying as a Change Management Practitioner.

I’ve helped leadership teams overcome multiple challenges including uncertainty and hostility.

I’ve also successfully implemented big changes in my career and personal life, including moving from inner London to semi-rural North Yorkshire during the pandemic.

As an Executive Coach, I can help you untangle the present and clarify your way forward.

You can read more about my career change and how I work in my article (PDF format) for Women in Change’s magazine. And this is a shorter version of a podcast explaining my background and current work.

My Showreel

Outcomes I Deliver

  • Leaders and other key players who feel capable and empowered to deliver the changes, even in challenging and high pressure environments
  • Harmonious teams with a common understanding of their purpose, resulting from targeted activity: I design, build, recruit and retain teams
  • Staff who understand the impact of their redesigned roles and have bought into change, through carefully planned and facilitated events with follow-up activity
  • Resistance to change understood and tackled so that business goals can be achieved
  • Clear, creative, consistent messages and storytelling for thousands of staff and/or stakeholders about your organisational change. This is through briefings, speeches, media interviews and digital channels such as your internal / company website
  • World class presentation of your business as a result of my skills and advice – from someone who’s been in front of the camera and on the speaker’s platform

Why the name Dalemoor?

I live between the beautiful Yorkshire Dales and Moors. I love being in the hills. Making changes can feel tough while you’re navigating them – but it’s always worth it when you reach the summit!
