You could say I've had a rather unconventional career path. From treading the boards as an actress to soaring the corporate ladder as a Global Director, I've traversed diverse industries and led multinational teams and functions. But it wasn't always smooth sailing.

I've always been known for my refreshingly honest approach and my drive to make a real difference, particularly in the field of Talent Management and Development, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion. This led me to establish Serena Consulting, where I partner with organisations to cultivate exceptional leaders and high-performing teams. As a qualified and licensed executive coach, I empower leaders and teams to navigate challenges, embrace vulnerability, and create a culture of authenticity and support. Whether through impactful leadership training programmes or transformative one-to-one coaching, I'm here to help you cultivate a workplace where everyone can thrive.

However, my journey has also been marked by personal challenges. Behind the scenes, I was grappling with a late diagnosis of ADHD and struggling with self-medication using alcohol. Now proudly sober, I'm passionate about championing change in corporate environments. I believe in removing the shame associated with addiction and encouraging others to #breaktheshame.

My story resonates with audiences as a keynote speaker, leaving them talking for days, and I've been fortunate enough to share my experiences on podcasts and in publications. I've also poured my experience into creating a practical tool to aid recovery – Straight Outta Rehab: A Guided Journal for Addiction Recovery. This isn't just a journal for reflection; it's a structured programme filled with prompts and exercises designed to support you on your journey to sobriety. You can find it on Amazon here.

"Recover loudly so others don't die quietly" is the mantra that fuels my work. I'm dedicated to inspiring others and helping them make real, meaningful change.
