A Bit About Auburn
I'm Clare, founder of Auburn Consultancy.
Created in 2016, a time when the trees were showing off their reds, browns and oranges - all so individual in shape, stature and hue, but together creating one harmonious picture... hence, Auburn!
I'm a BIG strategic thinker with over 20 years’ experience, working with not for profit organisations, SME's, sport’s governing bodies, events and on major re-brand projects.
I can support you to explore, identify, challenge, communicate and navigate towards where you really want to be, in life and business - I LOVE what I do!
As a coach I often work with business owners, people managers and lone leaders who are looking to clarify what they really want and whats stopping them confidently moving forward to where they want to be.
I enable individuals and organisations to communicate and understand themselves and those around them more effectively - increasing wellbeing and performance as a result.
I am passionate about the power of being outdoors and the aspects it brings in increased creativity, solutions thinking and enhanced wellbeing, in life and business.
Put simply, I enable momentum.
Finding Your Way Forward
I support ambitious organisations and individuals, including business owners, people managers and lone leaders, who need to clarify whats stopping them, get confident and gain momentum towards where they want to be, in life and business.

Sharing my skills and knowledge along with my fellow Board members to help support and progress the impact of the organisation in the sector.
I'd love to hear about you, your purpose and challenges - and how I can support you and your organisation to gain momentum!
Auburn Outdoors
A well as being the founder of Auburn Consultancy, I'm also an Ultra Cyclist and Endurance Athlete... or as she likes to put it ‘just a woman with a bike (or three…)’.
After coming to sport later in life, trying some running, moving to triathlon and quite quickly onto Ironman distance.
I realised was best at the longer game. I like the events that are a puzzle, not linear and mean you need to stay well, agile and connected. Basically of the skill we need in life and business!
I mainly take part in self supported ultra cycling events, on and off road, and have completed a fair few of the biggest on the calendar, including the London Edinburgh London and (LEL) and Highland Trail 550 (HT550).
This year, after a successful Blaenau 600k, I am heading to the inaugural Alps Divide at a 1000km with 32000m ascent, on and off road.
I'm a daily advocate for being outside and in nature as a part of keeping us feeling both physically and psychologically well, in life and business.
Recognising that adventure is so important for us in everyday life, however small, to support us in renewed perspective, clear thinking and, quite frankly, just having fun!
