About Trudy

I help leaders have greater impact and influence as they lead by mastering communications

I have a passion to help leaders, professionals and their teams develop influence and create impact through good communication and connection. That’s why I set up Colinear.

I also am excited about coaching and how it enables people to change and grow, enhancing the support I provide to leaders and professionals. As a result, I explore ways to share my knowledge on communications offering executive coaching and consulting.

I am a qualified executive coach and a strategic communication consultant specialising in leadership, engagement and change. I have over 20 years’ experience supporting leading organisations from the hospitality, rail, construction and technology industries; delivering the right level of communication aligned to the business strategy and its priorities. 

As a coach I help people to maximise performance by supporting them to find clarity and focus. Building confidence and strategies to courageously grow, change or move forward in their work and lives. Along with my expertise in strategic communications, I have combined both disciplines to also help people to develop influence and impact, by creating space to think and awareness to act within a positive, non-judgemental environment.

I have an MA in Communication Management and I’m a qualified Executive Coach. A Fellow and Chartered PR Practitioner with the Chartered Institute of Public Relations (CIPR), I also served as a board director. I am a member of ICF (International Coaching Federation) and the IABC (International Association of Business Communicators) and I co-host an award-winning podcast called Calm Edged Rebels.

Please get in touch and hopefully we can work together soon.

Our award-winning podcast covers a topic that one of us has chosen to discuss and we delve into our own experiences, share our thinking and our advice around each. We cover a broad range of subjects from those who inspire us to imposter syndrome to the relationship between fear and trust. Some of the conversations are light hearted and others will make you think deeply about society and how we work.
