Liv Blaney

Executive Coach & Neurodiversity Coach

About Liv

Liv draws on 16 years of leadership experience at Goldman Sachs, combining first-hand understanding of complex business environments with a broad coaching toolkit.

At Goldman Sachs, Liv led global operations and change management teams, gaining practical insight into driving change, influencing others and leading under pressure. Today, she combines this experience with her MSc in Coaching for Behaviour Change to help clients build self-confidence, communicate with greater impact and navigate complex stakeholder and team dynamics.

Drawing on this mix of business experience and academic training, she uses a solution-focused approach that is challenging but supportive, tailoring each engagement to the client's needs and style. She also works as a neurodiversity coach, helping neurodivergent leaders and their organisations create environments in which everyone can thrive.

Coaching clients include Goldman Sachs, Microsoft, Admiral, Vodafone, M&S, Thames Water, Capital Group and Nestlé.

Coaching style

Liv's coaching is shaped around each client's goals, with the approaches used tailored in order to enable their clients to maximise what they get out of coaching. Combining a solution-focused, challenging but supportive approach with a broad range of techniques and her leadership experience, she helps her clients build self-awareness, intentionality and confidence.

Her clients value the thought-provoking and insightful moments her coaching creates, and the practical way she helps them turn those insights into real, immediate impact in their day-to-day leadership roles.
