Rebecca is passionate about leadership because she's seen the difference it makes - both good and bad. Most of us have experienced poor leadership at some point, and we know how deeply that can affect confidence, culture and performance. It’s often said that people don’t leave organisations, they leave poor leaders - and that belief has stayed with her throughout her career. 

As Commercial Director at The Institute of Leadership, Rebecca works in partnership with organisations to help them build strong, healthy leadership cultures. She focuses on providing leadership support that makes a genuine difference - to individuals, to teams and ultimately to organisational results. 

For Rebecca, it’s about helping people be the best leaders they can be, with confidence, clarity and purpose.
