TEAM PROFILE
Jess Tyrrell
Associate Coach & Consultant
"Clarity starts with the right question."
Background
Jess specialises in working with teenagers and the adults in their lives - a space that demands authenticity, adaptability, and the ability to build trust quickly. This experience translates powerfully into her work with leaders, teams, and organisations. She brings significant leadership experience within the education sector. As the first employee of a social enterprise, she built an alternative education provision from the ground up —-leading on recruitment, design, and delivery while maintaining her own coaching practice. Jess has since held senior leadership roles, most recently as Group Director of Culture & Student Engagement within a large multi-college group of nearly 20,000 students, where she led a team of 11 coaches. This gives her a strong appreciation of the realities of leadership, including decision-making, accountability, and leading without a clear blueprint.
Coaching Practice
Jess’s work focuses on helping individuals, teams, and organisations build trust, navigate complexity, and create the conditions for honest, meaningful dialogue. Her background working with young people has developed a sharp ability to establish rapport quickly and create psychologically safe environments - skills that are equally powerful in leadership and organisational settings.
Coaching Style
Jess works by walking alongside her clients on their journey of discovery - shining a light into more challenging spaces and asking the questions others often avoid. She brings energy, curiosity, and a deeply non-judgemental approach, creating environments where individuals feel understood rather than assessed. This enables open exploration, deeper insight, and lasting change. Her approach helps leaders and teams surface what is really driving behaviour, address underlying dynamics, and move forward with clarity and purpose.
What Jess Offers
Jess works with individuals at all stages of their leadership journey, providing one-to-one coaching that supports personal insight, confidence, and clarity in complex roles. She creates space for honest reflection while helping clients take practical steps forward in their leadership. She also works with teams, facilitating conversations that strengthen trust, improve communication, and address the underlying dynamics that shape performance and culture. Her approach enables teams to move beyond surface-level challenges and build more effective, connected ways of working. In addition, Jess designs and delivers leadership development programmes, group coaching, and reflective practice spaces that support growth at both an individual and organisational level. She is equally comfortable working with larger groups, delivering engaging sessions, training, and speaking that bring energy, insight, and meaningful impact.
Coaching Approach & Expertise
Jess is a systemic practitioner with an MSc in Coaching & Behaviour Change. She has additional training in physical intelligence and systemic constellations, giving her a broad, integrated, and whole-system toolkit. She works fluidly across one-to-one coaching, team facilitation, and large group delivery, adapting her approach to meet the needs of individuals and organisations.
Impact
Jess supports leaders and teams to build genuine trust, have the conversations that matter, and address the root causes of challenges rather than surface symptoms. Her work leads to stronger relationships, clearer thinking, and more sustainable change - enabling individuals and organisations to move forward with confidence and authenticity.
