Sian Rowsell is an award-winning coach, helping women who are leaders in science forge ahead in their careers, realise their full potential and achieve the perfect work/life balance. Following a PhD at Imperial College, and a post-doc at the University of Leeds, Sian enjoyed a very successful and varied career in pharmaceuticals. She found herself particularly drawn to mentoring, change and team leadership, and project management across global, multifunctional teams. After 16 years in a corporate role, she wanted to do something different. In a story that many can relate to, she began asking herself the question: “What next?” Hoping to find an answer to that question, in 2014 she took part in some coaching. It turned out that coaching and facilitating others to find their passion and direction was exactly the kind of career that had her jumping out of bed in the morning. She’d found her answer. And ever since then, she’s been helping other people find theirs too.
