I am Dr Xina Gooding-Broderick, an executive leadership coach, philanthropist, lifelong learner, mentor, and mother, with a holistic approach. I love to help people, specifically mothers, aged 40+, in leadership roles, to make better internal, personal, and professional connections whilst building their ideal career or business.

I have extensive experience working with executives who lead from a position of spiritual, or secular, ethics and am comfortable in either setting.

Owning a family business and having a background in project and programme management, I have worked in various leadership roles over the past 30 years. In addition to owning a coaching practice – I am the Chair of charity organisation, Leeds Bereavement Forum Charity, and I own a funeral parlor in partnership with my husband and sister.

After more than 20 years of trying, and failing, to balance motherhood with my professional leadership goals, I’ve been on a transformational journey and now know how to “have it all”.

I’m sure, that like me, you have experienced tests of your resilience throughout your life. I’ve been a broke student whilst being a mother; I moved to Spain and back again to the UK with a subsequent divorce; my beloved father passed away and that led to a career change, where I took over the family funeral business. Despite many tests of my resilience, I remained a constantly devoted parent, but it hasn’t always been plain sailing.

Safe Space – Guarenteed!

I provide you with a safe, serene, non-judgemental environment in which you can open your heart to express your life dreams.

We are allowed to want it all.

In my 1-2-1 coaching interventions, I actively encourage you to establish what ‘having it all’ means to you! I will empower you to unlock that mindset, enabling you to inspire those around you to do the same.

Personally, my true wealth, my true abundance comes from my children, my family, my friends, colleagues, and my own life accomplishments too. My passion for planning and working towards personal and professional goals is driven by my ambitious nature, and achieving those professional goals is the icing on an exquisitely delicious cake.

I recognise that my true wealth is a driving force, steered by a combination of purposefully enjoying the company of loved ones, whilst walking my own path of greatness and seeing where it takes me.

I knew I needed to make a conscious change from running myself ragged whilst trying to chase the dream lifestyle for myself, and my son.

The penny dropped when I returned from Spain and was discussing becoming a taxi driver with my sister. She said, “Our kid, you’re thinking about this the wrong way around. Think about your son first, and then everything else will fall into place”.

Instead of building a foundation for my son, my love for my son became the foundation. And that’s when the seed of Mother of Abundance was planted. 

To maintain my continuous professional development, and keep on top of all the lastest thinking in the executive coaching arena, I keep an active participation with several membership organisations, including:

• European Mentoring & Coaching Council (EMCC)
• Institute of Leadership & Management [Fellow – FInstLM] (ILM)
• Association of Chairs (AoC)
• Federation of Small Businesses (FSB)
• Win Trade Global
• TED Foundation
• United Nations (UN Women UK Delegate for 2023 UN Commission on the Status of Women)
