Careers, midlife & leadership change.
Working with senior women and organisations through transition.
I work with senior women and organisations navigating career and leadership change — particularly at midlife, where ambition, identity and direction often come under quiet pressure.
My work supports people to think clearly, make considered decisions, and move forward with greater confidence and connection.
Whether the challenge is professional transition, leadership complexity, or a sense of being successful on paper but unsettled in reality, I offer steady perspective, depth, and practical judgement.
My Coaching Methodology
The E³ Framework™
Evidence. Examination. Evolve.
My work is grounded in the same discipline I practised as a Criminal Barrister:
-clarity of facts, rigorous examination and decisions made on sound footing.
When careers and leadership roles reach a point of transition, instinct alone is rarely enough.
What’s required is clear thinking, honest examination, and the courage to act with intention.
This work proceeds in three stages.
1. Evidence — establishing the record
We begin by establishing the facts.
What can actually be observed.
This stage focuses on the current reality of your career, role and leadership context
Patterns of behaviour, responsibility, energy and decision-making over time.
Nothing meaningful can proceed without a clear record.
2. Examination — testing the case
Once the evidence is established, we examine it.
This is the point at which beliefs, identities, and long-held assumptions are tested not accepted at face value.
This stage involves:
Careful scrutiny of how success, ambition and obligation have been defined
Examination of internal contradictions and unresolved tensions
Stress-testing the stories you have carried about who you are and what is possible
This is not introspection for its own sake.
It is analytical work — undertaken so decisions are defensible, not reactive.
3. Evolve — authoring what comes next
Only once the facts have been established and rigorously examined do we move into change.
Here, the work shifts from understanding the past to shaping the future.
This stage focuses on:
Articulating a clear and credible direction for the next phase of your career and leadership
Making deliberate choices about what continues, what evolves, and what comes to an end
Acting with confidence and intent, in a way that honours both ambition and reality
Evolution here is not reinvention for effect.
It's a considered step forward, taken with clarity, agency and self-trust.

About Me
I'm SHARON AMESU
Multi Award Winning Speaker and Coach.
I work with senior women and organisations navigating consequential transitions where careers and leadership intersect with identity, purpose and connection.
This work is not about motivation.
It’s about clarity under pressure, careful consideration and decisions made with integrity.
My Story
For sixteen years, I practised as a Criminal Barrister — a world where facts mattered, consequences were real and decisions could not be deferred.
I learned early that:
-
clarity beats noise
-
structure matters
-
judgment under uncertainty is a skill, not a feeling
I also learned something more personal: success on paper doesn’t always align with how a life is lived on the inside.
After a 16 year career, I made the most significant career transition. It was incredibly challenging and disrupted. Mostly because my entire in professional identity was tied up in my title.
Navigating that transition taught me so much about how leaders and organisations navigate change. Whether it's career change or systemic change.
It was this experience that led me to retrain as an executive coach with the University of Cambridge.
For the last 13 years I've been working with senior leaders navigating their own transitions. I especially work with senior women where careers change, identities shift and connection becomes a leverage point for growth.
