Some FAQs…
What kind of problems can I bring?
Literally anything that is related to management that doesn’t fall into HR territory (see below!).
It could be related to a tricky conversation you need to have, feedback issues, problems with your own manager, difficulties managing someone else, or performance issues in your team.
It could be you’re not sure what you’re doing. Which is totally normal!
What’s not suitable to discuss?
I won’t be able to discuss anything that is disciplinary in nature, HR grievances (e.g. complaints made), legal disputes, or mental health related issues (I’m a coach, not a therapist!).
If you’re not sure, feel free to message and ask 😊.
Why is it free?
I launched this an experiment September-October 2025. My Manager Coaching Programme and Manager Accelerator are paid for services, but I’m keeping this free so that line managers who can’t access support via an L&D budget or their company are not excluded from seeking one-off help.
What Managers Shared After…
“Lorna was the perfect mixture of empathetic and action-focused in my session with her; willing to listen to all circumstances and content, but ready with helpful, actionable advice and insight.”
“As a leader it’s tricky to find good mentors in the organisation to discuss some difficult challenges. And a group coaching session is not always the best place to air out some problems. So I loved that Lorna offered 1:1 coaching and during the 45 minute session she very quickly set the tone and expectations and made it very easy and comfortable to share where I need help. She asked the right questions, and given we’d not spoken before it was so easy to talk to her. She really listened and then came up with some effective ways to tackle the particular situation. I felt like I got a lot. I was also very mindful that I wasn’t just going in for therapy or a rant - and Lorna definitely listens but it felt very actionable or solution oriented… thanks so much Lorna. It was so great to have you as my coach today.”
“Lorna has a way of speaking directly to the real challenges line managers face every day. Her session was packed with practical, experience-based insight that didn’t just sound good in theory but actually resonated with the day-to-day realities of managing teams, navigating delivery pressure and keeping stakeholders aligned. What makes her advice especially valuable is that she’s been where line managers have been, but she’s also operated at the SLT level. That dual perspective helps bridge the gap, giving you clarity on how to support your team while also understanding what leadership needs to make confident decisions. It’s a rare and powerful combination that encourages cohesion between levels, not just communication. I walked away with more than just ideas. I felt validated in what I’m already doing, but also sharper in how I could do it better. Every line manager would benefit from hearing Lorna’s perspective.”
“I had a session with Lorna and it was fantastic. We talked through my specific scenario and she not just coached me throughout but also signposted me to actionable resources. She has a wealth of experience that is very useful to navigate from smaller situations to bigger without having to have full context. Very grateful, thank you!”
