She helps leaders and businesses regain clarity, unlock momentum, and move from vision to reality — blending commercial strategy, people leadership, and deep personal development.

With a former C-suite career, she has spent over 15 years leading change, scaling ventures, and driving growth across start-ups, brands, and MNCs through sharp clarity, magnetic influence, and sheer grit.

Sibby is for founders, executives, and teams ready for their next chapter.

Sibby turns stalled ambition into forward motion. Fast.

Sibby

I help leaders and businesses get unstuck and execute at the level they say they want — not the level they’ve been tolerating.

I’ve spent 15+ years leading growth, transformation, and high-stakes delivery across global brands, scaling ventures, and complex organisational environments. I’ve rebuilt teams, run P&Ls, accelerated portfolios, won and delivered £100m+ bids, redesigned operating models, and led major transformation programmes under pressure.

My edge?

  • I combine commercial intelligence with fearless execution.

  • I’m 100% present in every room.

  • I diagnose fast. Cut noise. Align people. Create plans. Deliver them.

  • I’m relentless in setting and smashing goals.

Leaders bring me in when:

  • Priorities fragment

  • Growth stalls

  • Accountability slips

  • Bottlenecks pile up

  • Decision fog sets in

  • The organisation is busy, but not progressing

I fix the system. I restore clarity. I reset the pace. I build belief.

Guiding high-performance leadership retreats in the Scottish Highlands, Sibby applies the same clarity-first, action-driven approach. These are not wellness weekends, but strategic resets for people who carry everything. We strip out noise, unlock confidence, and break patterns to spark sharp thinking.

If you want things to happen, I’m the person you need.

Signature Impact

Sibby gets people back to who they are, what they want, and what they’re capable of when they’re operating at full power. Her work reignites fire, restores conviction, and gets leaders and teams acting with intent, pace, and discipline.

She’s a big believer in “productive play” — the kind that breaks patterns, interrupts autopilot, and opens the mind to see solutions that were previously invisible. Whether it’s a decision stuck in fog or a team drowning in distraction, she uses creative intelligence and environment-driven thinking to unlock clarity fast.

At her Highland retreats, she uses the raw power of the outdoors to force spacious thinking: unfamiliar terrain = new neural pathways. Leaders think bigger because they feel bigger. They reset mentally, sharpen strategically, and return operating at a higher level.

In consulting and fractional leadership, she brings the same clarity-first, noise-cutting, no-fluff approach. She aligns teams, fixes operational friction, dismantles bottlenecks, and builds momentum around what matters — turning purpose into measurable progress. No theory. No jargon. Just traction.

Core Pillars

Strategic Clarity

No more fog, No more competing priorities. No more organisational FOMO.
Most organisations think they’re clear. They’re not. Leaders are pulled by noise, teams operate on half-information, and execution stalls in the gaps between “we want this” | “we’re aligned on it.” | “we have committed to it.” Sibby isolates the real problems, and rebuilds direction to accelerate execution.

A large ocean wave curling and crashing.

Momentum & Execution

Vision without movement is theatre.
She installs rhythm, accountability, and operating discipline — momentum people can feel and trust.

Deep Human Connection

Breakthroughs come from honesty — with yourself and with each other.
Sibby creates environments where people drop the armour, speak plainly, and get to the truth quickly so alignment and commitment can happen faster.

Purpose-Led Transformation

Purpose spark change. Conviction fuels it.
She reconnects leaders to their why and translates it into decisions and behaviours that stick.

Dual Mission

To Help Businesses Unlock Real, Sustainable Growth

Growth doesn’t stall because people aren’t trying. It stalls because:

  • Priorities become fragmented

  • Ambition outpaces infrastructure

  • Decision fog replaces direction

  • Inertia hides behind busy-ness

  • The narrative gets lost

  • Fatigue kicks in

  • Bottlenecks choke progress

Sibby cuts through all of that - turning chaos into clarity and restoring alignment and operating momentum.

Sibby is fearless: she will provide the honest diagnosis people avoid and the execution discipline they need. When she’s in the room decisions sharpen, energy ramps up, accountability rises, and growth becomes real again.

To help leaders Perform at their Highest Level

Leadership comes with weight. Expectations. Pressure. Constant motion.

Eventually clarity blurs and confidence slips — even for the strongest operators.

Sibby’s creates the space leaders never give themselves: to step back, reset, think clearly, and rebuild.

In the Highlands, away from noise, distraction, and routine, leaders reconnect to their North Star. Outdoors. Moving. Thinking differently. Using play as a tool for strategic expansion and creative problem-solving.

The result: Sharper decisions. Stronger confidence. More focused ambition.
And leadership that’s grounded, intentional, and powerful.

Leadership Retreats

A hard reset for high-performers who need clarity, conviction, and a plan that actually sticks.

These retreats are not wellness weekends or inspirational off-sites.

They are intensive, structured, clarity-building environments designed for power leaders who need space to think sharply again.

Using the globally recognised Elevation Barn methodology combined with the wild Scottish outdoors we break default patterns fast. We get outside, we use play, and leverage unfamiliar environments to unlock the kind of strategic clarity you cannot access in your daily routines.

What the retreat includes

  • A full reset of purpose, direction, and leadership ambition

  • Advanced narrative + clarity frameworks used worldwide

  • Tactical problem-solving and decision acceleration

  • Peer-level challenge and perspective from high-calibre participants

  • Guided sessions, structured reflection, and 1:1 coaching

  • Optional post-retreat integration to ensure execution

  • Four days, all-inclusive, designed to get you unstuck and moving with conviction

Who it’s for

  • Founders navigating scale, strategy shifts, or high-stakes decisions

  • Executives at inflection points or taking on bigger mandates

  • Leaders burnt out from decision fatigue or carrying too much alone

  • VC/PE-backed portfolio leaders needing clarity before a scale phase

  • High-performing creatives or mission-led operators needing a reset

The outcomes

  • A sharp, actionable personal + professional “North Star”

  • A simplified strategic direction you can actually execute

  • Renewed confidence, energy, and emotional bandwidth

  • Clear decisions made — and the noise removed

  • New narrative, new momentum, new pace

  • A strong peer network of leaders who operate at your level

Why the Highlands

Because getting leaders out of their default environment is rocket fuel for clarity.

Because pressure dissolves in open space.

Because Scotland is a playground for the mind — big skies, wild terrain, zero noise, and the perfect conditions to see what you’ve been missing.

This is not a retreat for people looking to escape responsibility. It’s for people ready to take it back with force.

Philosophy

Every leader is shaped by the stories they’ve lived — and the stories they’re stuck in. My work interrupts those stories, strips out the noise, and rebuilds the clarity, confidence, and momentum leaders need to move fast and make real progress.

Clarity isn’t something you find. You create it.
Confidence isn’t something you’re born with. You build it.
Momentum isn’t accidental. It’s engineered through discipline, decisions, and action.

Most leaders are overwhelmed, running on autopilot, or carrying expectations that dilute their judgement. I challenge that. I push people out of default mode and into deliberate leadership — the kind that actually moves businesses forward.

The outdoors accelerates this. Scotland is one of the greatest playgrounds for perspective. When leaders step into unfamiliar environments, test their edges, and “play” with possibility, they break patterns that have held them back for years. Creative thinking sharpens. Decision-making strengthens. Focus returns.

My philosophy is simple:
Give leaders space, honesty, and a hard reset. Pair it with challenge, accountability, and bold action — and everything becomes possible. Growth. Change. Reinvention. The next, stronger version of their leadership.
