The Rubicon Partnership Team
- My name is Elle. I worked in the corporate world for over twenty years in the retail and international drinks sectors. I qualified as a Coach in 2013 and since then I have become a dedicated and fully committed Coach with a fundamental belief that everyone in the world has a unique talent. Each of our jobs in life is to understand our strengths so that we can choose to be the very best that we can be every day.
- My deep-rooted passion is to energise my clients to discover their strengths and purpose, facing into to their challenges with strength and courage. I get tremendous joy from supporting my clients as they make the positive choices that bring them happiness and fulfilment in both their professional and personal lives.
- My clients tell me that I have a positive and generous spirit that allows them to face into their truth, assured that they will be supported unconditionally as together we wrestle with their challenges in a supportive and safe environment. It might be that clients are struggling with where their strengths and passions lie, or that they have a tricky relationship issue at work. Or it may be that they are struggling with how to prepare themselves for their next career step at work. Whatever their issue, clients find their coaching journey with me to be energising, enlightening and empowering.
- I love my family and friends dearly and often find myself with them in a supportive and inspiring role, as for me being a Coach is simply a way of life. It is my chosen purpose.
- Hi, I’m Ru, a Coach with six years’ experience and a huge amount of energy and drive for helping people do their best work. Before coaching, I spent a decade working as a professional actor, a background that shaped how I listen, observe and connect with people. Coaching gave me the opportunity to channel those skills into something deeply meaningful: helping individuals, boards and leadership teams grow. At The Rubicon Partnership, I’ve worked extensively across Scotland’s SME community, facilitating leadership conversations, supporting conflict resolution at team and board level, and helping teams align around what really matters. I’ve also led our digital team, developing and launching progressive, ethical products that support target alignment and performance management in a way that truly engages people.
- What I love most about coaching is the privilege of listening and supporting meaningful change. I’m energised by working with people who are ready for help, clarity or a fresh perspective on things. Seeing confidence grow through the coaching process is hugely rewarding, especially when clients begin to unlock their own answers. I enjoy using open, thoughtful questioning alongside the tried and tested models developed at The Rubicon Partnership. These frameworks are powerful because they don’t tell clients what to do, they create the space for insight, ownership and lasting change.
- Clients describe me as grounded, straight talking and understanding. I come into every session with energy, focus and intent, and I aim to leave clients with clear, actionable steps they can apply both immediately and over the long term. My style is pragmatic, human and tailored I’m less interested in theory for theory’s sake, and more interested in what will genuinely move things forward. Regardless of sector or background, I’m strong at understanding how people and organisational structures really work. From there, I help curate the most effective and realistic paths through challenge, complexity or change.
- I am a dedicated husband and father. I love sport in all its forms watching it, talking about it, and playing five-a-side whenever I can. I also have a lifelong love of the arts and film, which continues to inspire how I see people, stories and potential!
- My name is Kirsty, and I am passionate about helping others achieve their dreams. Prior to joining The Rubicon Partnership, I spent 8 years working predominately in the sports industry, in roles ranging from event management to operations and marketing. Throughout these roles, I gained a large amount of experience in corporate settings, but most importantly, I engaged with a whole host of personalities with varying backgrounds and experience.
- I enjoy coaching as it gives people the space and freedom to talk about whatever is going on in their lives without the worry of feeling judged. I love allowing clients the time to tell me about their goals and passions, while we work through a viable path to help them be the best version of themselves.
- My clients would describe me as a straight-talking and direct but empathetic Coach who is understanding and has their goals in mind throughout our work together. I set up a relaxed atmosphere, in order for them to feel at ease throughout our session and I focus on ensuring confidentiality while balancing a friendly and cohesive environment for clients to feel comfortable. I always turn up to every session invigorated and ready to assist in any way I can. My desire is to ensure my clients leave sessions feeling energised and confident in the decisions they have made and know that they always have someone in whom they can confide.
- I love staying active through going to the gym, running, and playing hockey with my team in Edinburgh! I love to cook in the evenings when I get back after a long day as it really helps me to switch off and wind down. Most weekends involve a run, coffees, pastries and watching the football!
- I’m Amy, a Coach at The Rubicon Partnership. After graduating from university during Covid, I spent some time working full-time as a barista while struggling to find a role that truly suited me. In 2025, I was given the opportunity to join The Rubicon Partnership which was a turning point that allowed me to combine my creativity with my passion for supporting others. At Rubicon, I’ve worked across a range of areas including filming and editing masterclasses, helping with the development of the Rubicon website, managing Rubicon’s social media platforms, and coaching a variety of clients.
- My clients often describe me as calm, reassuring, and gently inspiring. I believe there’s no need to rush development or resolutions, so I like to approach coaching with care, patience, and work through your problems at your pace. I focus on building confidence slowly, always responding to what the client needs in the moment, whether that’s a lighter, more uplifting approach or something gentler.
- I enjoy coaching because I appreciate when people give me the space to help. I value creating a safe space where clients can talk about whatever they need, without pressure or judgement. Watching someone grow and reach their potential is incredibly special to me, and it’s the most rewarding part of my work.
- My coaching style is open and honest, without ever being blunt. I don’t tell clients what to do, instead I steer them down a path that suits them and will achieve the outcome they desire. One of my greatest strengths as a Coach is my openness to all stories, there is never any judgment of any kind as I just want to help create the best path forward and support alongside.
- I enjoy spending time with my family and partner. I love starting my day with Pilates, which helps me feel grounded and energised before work. Creativity is a huge part of who I am, so you’ll often find me crocheting, painting, or doing pottery while watching some of my favourite shows.
- Hi, I’m Wendy. I’m a passionate experienced Coach who has worked in the retail corporate world and amongst a variety of SME sectors. I have developed my Coaching skills whilst holding senior People Director roles and subsequently becoming a qualified Coach. So, I have real hands-on industry expertise working alongside graduates through to Senior Management. I’ve learnt that my job satisfaction and reward come from supporting and witnessing people at any stage of their career push themselves to reach their full potential with courage and energy. Understanding your strengths and talents will help you achieve your goals in life, this is where I can help.
- I love building trusting relationships with my clients who tell me that I bring energy and passion that help them build self-confidence and courage to find practical and creative solutions to both career and personal challenges. This is also about establishing clarity around purpose, direction and bringing happiness and joy into your daily life.
- My clients would describe me as an active, energetic listener who inspires them to take positive action to make a change for the good to make the most of their passions and talents in a safe supportive environment. Every client is different; it may be that you are struggling with an issue at work, with your own aims in life or how to achieve a career goal. Wherever you find yourself, clients find that I bring energy to help you feel confident, empowered and committed to take action.
- Coaching is my mission in life: helping others find solutions, new and creative ways to tackle whatever they face. I am hugely inspired by the results achieved by my clients.
- I love spending time with my family and looking after myself. Outside of Coaching, I enjoy golf, skiing, walking my dogs and, of course, relaxing with my husband watching TV.
