"Marie was like a breath of fresh air. To date, I haven't met anyone who presented with equal measures of friendliness and professionalism which put me at ease straight away. Marie's objectivity was impressive; her intuitive nature and authenticity invaluable; as was her ability to challenge my thoughts with just the right amount of sensitivity, humour and knowledge. Yet what really wowed me was Marie's ability to listen. She has truly mastered the art. I can honestly say, hand on heart, that had I not had coaching sessions with Marie, I would not be in my current state of contentment and happiness. Marie Creed is an exceptional coach."

MARIE CREED
As a professional executive, performance and career coach experienced in coaching at all levels, I work with individuals on a one-to-one basis, either privately or within organisations. I also work with teams, helping them to better understand each other and create stronger, more trusting relationships.
I deliver executive coaching across a wide range of sectors, including banking, insurance, recruitment, consultancy, technology, legal, marketing, PR, and retail. My clients range from start-ups and growing SMEs to large corporates.
​
Additionally I provide career and transformational mindset coaching for dynamic individuals in and around Tunbridge Wells or globally via Zoom, supporting my clients in making the right life-changing decisions for themselves, and helping them to get 'un-stuck'.
​​
I have achieved particular success working with founders, creating valuable “headspace” for them to step back, gain perspective, and make better decisions that positively impact both their business and their wellbeing.​
Working with professionals facing redundancy, women returners, or individuals seeking a career change, I help them secure meaningful and rewarding roles they love.
I am passionate about teaching my clients how to live a life free of stress and anxiety, how to overcome imposter syndrome, gain confidence and self-belief and how to stop holding themselves back to reach their full potential.
Having personally faced many of these challenges, I am able to relate to and truly understand how they feel. My coaching programmes draw on both personal experience and professional expertise, creating a powerful and effective approach that drives lasting transformation.
STORY BEHIND 'BOLD BEAN'
The name bold bean came from my family. My children nicknamed each other small bean, crazy bean and tall bean, and I was 'mummy bean', so it just felt right to incorporate a little bit of my family into my business name. In my training to become a coach, I really addressed 'courage'. I noticed there were areas in my life where I lacked courage, and this held me back. I made a decision; to be bold, take risks and to step out of my comfort zone. That is how 'bold bean' was born.
