About Rosie

After graduating in Business Studies, Rosie spent two years teaching in Japan. . She returned to the UK and began her HR Career at EMI Records, where she learned the importance of connecting with people.
Working with creatives and egos, Rosie developed a pragmatic approach to connect and influence her internal clients.

Staying in music, Rosie went onto work for BMG at the start of the reality TV music programme era. During this time, Rosie managed a number of merger and acquisitions of music labels and culminated in the merger with Sony Music. Rosie saw first hand the importance of culture and the impact on employee engagement.

Switching to TV, Rosie worked at Channel 5 during their growth phase, when they added two new channels. Keeping with the TV theme, Rosie moved to Channel 4, where she headed up the team delivering transformation. Again, M&A featured heavily and how culture change was as important to the success as all the legals. This was also where Rosie started her journey to becoming a coach and gained her Post grad in Executive Coaching and Mentoring. It was a game changer in terms of her conversations with leaders and empowering them to explore and develop new insights.

Taking a bit of time out to reflect and recharge, Rosie and her hubby spent 3 months in India. On returning, Rosie moved into High Performance sport, beginning with the RFU and then London Wasps (once a Wasp, always a Wasp!).

Rosie then secured her role as the first People Director for the England and Wales Cricket Board, responsible for cultural transformation and driving employee engagement. Seeing first hand into high performance elite sport, Rosie noticed the parallels of corporate culture and the “dressing room” and how coaching was a key differentiator in performance.

Rosie discovered Barefoot and trained as a Barefoot coach. She also undertook a Masters degree in Sports Leadership, which helped cement her decision to change path. Rosie realised that the quality that made her look forward to each day were conversations which facilitated thinking and reflection, where people left the room with greater clarity and insight than when they entered. She left the world of cricket to set up her own business offering Coaching, Team and Leadership Development and HR Support.

Since setting up Boost, Rosie has begun to build an eclectic range of clients from Sport, Banking and Technology. Rosie was also lucky enough to be appointed as one of the internal coaching team for Coutts Bank, where she has found her ’tribe’. Working with the team, Rosie coaches Senior Leaders, runs group coaching programmes and leadership team development coaching programmes. Their work was also recently won the Building Trust award from the Coaching Culture.

Rosie has continued her development as a coach and has recently qualified as a Practitioner of Neuroscience as she wanted to understand how the brain works. She is also a Spotlight Practitioner which features regularly in her work, as does Systems Coaching (trained in 2022). In early 2022, Rosie attained her ACC level of coaching through the ICF.

When she’s not working, Rosie can be found in North London, keeping it real with two teenager kids. She and her husband will escape to the local park to walk Mr Pooch.
