Olivia Bellas
I’m an experiential leadership and career coach with 25+ years of cross-sector experience helping professionals communicate with clarity, think imaginatively, and make confident, future-focused decisions. My coaching is grounded in the values of Simplicity, Connection, and Discovery, and I work with clients worldwide who want to create meaningful, sustainable change.
What I Help You Achieve:
I specialise in supporting people who are ready for impactful transformation, including:
● Improving communication & having better conversations (clearer language, better collaboration, stronger influence)
● Building confidence & imaginative thinking (unlocking the “180° perspective” to see fresh possibilities)
● Navigating transitions (new roles, new responsibilities, or new ways of working)
● Setting strategic goals & developing action-ready plans (with practical frameworks that turn ideas into measurable progress)
How I Coach:
My approach blends reflective conversation with practical action. You bring the content, I bring the process. As well as verbal connection, I can bring experiential tools that help insight land more deeply:
● LEGO® model-building for clarity and 3D thinking
● Walk-and-Talk sessions (in-person & remote) for movement-based insight
● Visualisation & listening practices to unlock new perspectives
● Action Learning structures for teams and groups
Transformation shouldn’t feel heavy—coaching with me is focused, supportive, and often surprisingly enjoyable.
Professional Experience:
My extensive portfolio career spans government, L&D, edtech, charity, and arts/culture. Highlights include:
● Mayor of London’s Community Engagement Team thinking laterally across silos in large, complex systems
● Apolitical leading global learning programmes for C-suite public leaders
● Deloitte coaching dispersed teams through an award-winning digital transformation project
Having moved between senior employment roles and self-employment several times, I understand career transitions deeply and support clients through them with confidence and clarity. I coach globally while facilitating strategy workshops, training programmes, and mentoring groups. Outside work, I like to travel or dance —because play, movement, and curiosity aren’t just coaching tools; they’re part of my everyday.
