Polly brings a grounded, human approach to leadership development. She’s especially skilled at tuning into what’s beneath the surface, spotting unspoken dynamics, drawing out thoughtful reflection, and helping individuals and teams shift habits that may be getting in the way. Her style is calm, curious, and quietly transformative.

Before joining RISE, Polly was a client herself, leading leadership development for a commercial property company. That experience means she brings a practitioner’s mindset to her work today, understanding both the organisational demands and the personal growth needed to create real change. She works across sectors, with clients including FK Group, Scan Computers, the Royal Exchange Theatre, and Young Manchester.

Polly is a certified executive and personal performance coach, a DiSC practitioner, and a NeuroLeadership Institute Practitioner. Her work supports leaders to create more alignment, connection and commitment within themselves, their teams, and their organisations.
