From pressure to purpose:

stronger leadership starts here

Organisational Development, Transformation & Leadership Capability

I help organisations turn strategic ambition into sustainable organisational performance.

Working with Boards, executive teams, senior leaders, and HR and Learning functions, I partner with organisations from the earliest stages of strategic thinking through to implementation, adoption, and long-term embedding of change.

My work combines organisational development, operating model design, transformation delivery, leadership development, coaching, and culture change to ensure that organisational change is not only designed effectively but successfully adopted in practice.

How I Support Organisations

Strategic Alignment & Organisational Development

I help organisations clarify strategic priorities and translate them into organisational structures, operating models, governance, leadership capability, and ways of working that enable successful execution.

This includes:

  • Organisational diagnosis and assessment

  • Organisational design and restructuring

  • Operating model development

  • Governance and decision-making frameworks

  • Leadership and culture alignment

  • Workforce and capability planning

 

Transformation & Change Delivery

I design and lead complex transformation programmes that move organisations from strategy to implementation.

Drawing on extensive experience across corporate, public, and charitable sectors, I support organisations to:

  • Deliver large-scale transformation programmes

  • Lead organisational and cultural change

  • Build stakeholder engagement and alignment

  • Navigate complexity and uncertainty

  • Establish practical change management approaches

  • Create measurable and sustainable outcomes

 

Leadership Development & Capability Building

Successful transformation depends on leadership capability.

I develop leaders at all levels to lead confidently through complexity, change, and growth by combining leadership development programmes, facilitation, coaching, and practical leadership tools.

Areas of focus include:

  • Leading through change and uncertainty

  • Strategic leadership

  • Executive presence and influence

  • Communication and stakeholder engagement

  • Building high-performing teams

  • Emotional intelligence and self-awareness

  • Cross-cultural leadership

  • Resilience and wellbeing under pressure

 

Executive Coaching & Leadership Coaching

Alongside organisational change, I work one-to-one with leaders to strengthen their effectiveness, confidence, and impact.

My coaching helps leaders:

  • Navigate complex organisational challenges

  • Build confidence in new or expanded roles

  • Lead with greater clarity and authenticity

  • Strengthen relationships and influence

  • Manage pressure and competing priorities

  • Develop a leadership style aligned with organisational needs

 

As a bilingual coach (German and English), I regularly support leaders working across international and multicultural environments.

I also bring specialist expertise in supporting highly sensitive professionals, helping them recognise and leverage strengths such as empathy, intuition, emotional awareness, and deep thinking as leadership assets.

 

My Approach

My approach combines analytical rigour, systems thinking, and practical delivery with a deep understanding of the human side of organisational change.

I believe lasting transformation happens when strategy, structure, leadership, culture, and behaviour are aligned.

That means I work across the entire change journey:

Strategy → Organisational Design → Transformation Delivery → Leadership Development → Coaching → Embedding & Adoption

The result is change that is not only planned and implemented, but understood, owned, and sustained by the people who make the organisation successful.

Typical Engagements

  • Organisation-wide transformation programmes

  • Operating model redesign

  • Leadership and culture transformation

  • Organisational restructuring

  • Executive team development

  • Leadership academies and capability programmes

  • Change leadership initiatives

  • Executive and senior leadership coaching

  • Board and senior stakeholder facilitation

I have so appreciated working with Ricarda for coaching. She created a completely non-judgemental space which enabled me to explore and identify my strengths and areas for growth in my leadership. Her thoughtful analogies, incisive questions and creative thinking make her an excellent coach.
 
I am a braver, more flexible, more reflective leader as a result.
