About
About Juliet Corbett
I'm a Trusted Advisor to senior leaders facing high-stakes strategic challenges.
For over a decade, I've worked alongside experienced leaders on problems that carry real consequences if left unresolved - missed opportunities worth hundreds of thousands of pounds, strategic drift and leadership dynamics that quietly undermine performance.
What I've learned is this: complexity doesn’t need more complexity. It needs the courage to act - and the capacity to learn as you go.
I work at the intersection of strategy and people. Sometimes I'm a strategist, sometimes a coach, often a confidante. Always a trusted partner who will walk beside leaders, challenge their thinking and anchor them through uncertainty.
Experience and credibility
I bring over 20 years' leadership experience, spanning executive roles and strategic consulting. I hold an MBA (Distinction) from Durham University Business School and a degree in Economics from the University of Cambridge, which underpin my analytical rigour and strategic approach.
I'm an EMCC-accredited Senior Practitioner and hold a postgraduate qualification in executive coaching, reflecting my commitment to ethical practice, professional standards and deep reflective work with senior leaders.
Since founding Juliet Corbett Consulting in 2018, I've worked with leaders across sectors in long-term advisory relationships and focused strategic conversations - shaping not just what leaders do, but how they think and lead over time.
Alongside my advisory work, I've been podcasting since 2020, exploring strategy, leadership and judgement with experienced leaders and CEOs. I host the Quiet Leadership Revolution podcast and The Independent School Podcast, with over 200 episodes reaching more than 25,000 listeners.
Beyond the work
My values – curiosity, optimism, spaciousness, equality, family and service – shape how I work and how I live. I've lived overseas and travelled widely, and I'm now based in the South West of England with my family. Rooted in our local community, I've volunteered for several years to support affordable rural housing and am always up for the next adventure.

Client voices
"Juliet is a fabulous listener, who has an impressive capacity to gather threads, hold information in her mind and identify key issues. I now have a much clearer understanding of how to harness ways of working that make me most effective. Working with Juliet has been very powerful for me, and invaluable in my work."
CEO of a complex, multi-site organisation
"Juliet is an amazing listener and takes time to understand the context before sharing her insight or suggestions. This means she can get straight to the crux of issues rather than being distracted by any peripheral aspects. She also is very good at separating out organisational, structural and individual dimensions of challenges/situations. I think she is an outstanding trusted advisor."
Senior leader in a multi-site organisation balancing central direction with local autonomy
“It might sound like hyperbole or cliché, but working with Juliet has genuinely been life changing. Our calls have been like a precious oasis each month - giving me the space and support I needed to explore the assumptions and beliefs that were holding me back. I wholeheartedly recommend Juliet to anyone looking to find clarity and confidence.”
