Leadership Training & Programmes

I've been working with Beth for four years, and she continues to be a driving force in my growth, challenging me while empowering me to find my voice as a leader. 

She helped me figure out what authentic and embodied leadership looks like to me, helping me find my own unique leadership presence: who I am and how I am here to create positive change in the world.

Working with Beth over the past five years has been transformational.

Through her executive coaching, I’ve grown from Senior Director to Vice President to General Manager of Smartsheet’s EMEA business.

Beth has been instrumental in helping me deliver multiple keynotes with confidence and impact, including at Smartsheet’s inaugural customer conference outside the US, addressing an audience of over 400 customers.

Her guidance was crucial as I navigated the EMEA team through organisational transformation, economic instability, complex restructures, and a Public-Private transition. Throughout these challenges, we not only maintained morale but also exceeded our KPIs.

For any senior leader seeking clear strategy, authentic leadership presence, and performance under pressure, Beth is the coach you want in your corner.

I first began work with Beth Hope in 2020, as an individual contributor working for Smartsheet Ltd. I was at a crossroads in my career, where I had been invited to interview for a position in management at the organisation. This was the basis of the beginning of my work with Beth at &Hope - and it was a success!

However, the step to move from an individual contributor to a first line manager opened up a new perspective for me on the power of coaching, and Beth’s unique and valuable approach to both personal and professional coaching unlocked a combination of mindset, competence and confidence that has supported me throughout my career. Since beginning our work: 

• We have spent over 70 hours of 121 coaching sessions. 

• Navigated opportunities to develop and grow in my professional career:

  • Move from IC -> 1st Line -> 2nd Line leadership positions

  • 6 promotions in 6 years.

• Supported me in personal growth:

  • Confidence in both professional and personal scenarios

  • Planning for the future and the impact of my career on this planning 

  • Family life, personal life and work-life balance.

Beth spoke at our Xero UK Kick Off Conference which is for all of our UK staff (around 400 employees). She was our customer story sharing her insights and journey as a business owner and how Xero has supported that. Beth had the audience completely captivated with her story and had an incredible response.

Beth Hope is a talented, patient, emotionally intelligent coach who aided me through my interview process. She listened to my concerns regarding interviewing and highlighted how my self-doubt might be impacting my performance under pressure. She prepared me through several practice interviews ahead of time, during which she tailored questions according to the role I was pursuing.

She taught me how to structure my thoughts and have confidence in my own ability. When I went to officially interview I felt relaxed and confident as a result of the preparation we did together.
I am delighted to say that thanks to her help, I got the job I wanted. I can not recommend Beth highly enough!

Beth gave me the confidence to have the difficult conversation around salary negotiations. She provided great support every step of the way and I ended up with the salary (and job!) that I wanted.

Beth is a natural coach and a great listener. She approaches her clients with great patience and understanding. She listens deeply and observes, then helps to unravel the real reasons for any underlying issues. She has guided me through some difficult situations at a work place and gave me a number of tools to use at a work place with a toxic culture.

— Anonymous, Financial Controller

I was struggling to decide what the right path was for me in terms of two job offers. It was great to take the time with Beth to talk these through and reassess what I really want from my upcoming career move.

Beth came and delivered a two-hour decision making, goal setting and effective team working session to my team. This equipped them with highly useful knowledge about how to recognise personality differences to reduce conflict, break down projects and complex decisions into easily manageable chunks and gain better insight into their own working preferences. My team have mentioned the positive impact this session has had on numerous occasions since with one saying that he learned more from it than from a two-day communications course with a different training provider.

It sounds like a cliche, but at Depop we genuinely care about our People. We’ve launched our own Mental Health Month which we’ll be repeating each May, complete with workshops and initiatives to support, inform and raise awareness. One of these initiatives was bringing in Beth.

Beth worked with us for 3 days, meeting 21 employees who each signed up for a one to one, 45 minute coaching session. The feedback we had from this was outstanding. This was our highest rated initiative with our people finding this a fantastic way to go in-depth confidentially on issues, in a short space of time, so that they felt boosted and gained clarity. In our feedback surveys, 87% found their session inspiring, 100% found it useful, and 93% would recommend it to colleagues. Due to the success of this, we are hoping to bring Beth back again later in the year and make these sessions a regular feature of life at Depop, and is an investment we are convinced in making for our people.

— Chris, Director of People, Depop

Beth and I started our journey in May and the progression I have seen in my life, as well as myself is monumental. I am now at a stage of my life where I can look back and say I am bloody proud of myself.

Thank you Beth for this amazing journey, you have helped me get the answers I did not realise I had within, and develop myself to be a better version of myself. I will be continuing to recommend you!

I had a coaching session with Beth as I was starting to explore the opportunity to take a new direction in my career. Before our session I was filled with fears, doubts and uncertainties. After just a 2 hour one on one with Beth, I had reached a light bulb moment and I left with a clear goals roadmap and the start of an action plan. Beth was attentive, encouraging and pragmatic at the same time which was hugely appreciated. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a Coach.

— Deb, Head of HR

I feel so lucky to have met Beth.

I’ve been working with her for a few months now and she really is inspirational. She has a talent for getting to the root causes to why I react the way I do to certain situations. If I’ve struggled to articulate how I’m feeling her questions are always spot on and provide clarity. She has helped me visualise the thoughts and feelings that block me from moving forward. Then to come up with strategies to manage negativity and destructive habits.

Beth makes you feel anything is possible, is kind understanding and truly wants the best for her clients.
