Arcadia Coaching®

Transformative executive coaching for leaders, creatives, and communicators seeking real change.

Welcome To Arcadia

Arcadia Coaching® is trusted by leaders and ambitious professionals, particularly those in communications, PR, and creative industries.

Our clients come to us seeking clarity, confidence, and transformative growth - in business and in life. Founder Penny Porter is an internationally EMCC-accredited Executive Coach, with 30 years' creative industry expertise and deep insider knowledge. Penny has devised our coaching programmes to deliver a highly personal and deeply immersive experience, designed for meaningful progress, transformation and clarity.

“Penny is perceptive, grounded, and attuned to the mood of the session. She brings both a calm presence and a warm energy, creating a coaching space that feels expansive and yet we can also work at pace when the need arises. Her style is thoughtful and intuitive, with a rare ability to listen beyond the words and ask the questions that truly matter.”

Why Arcadia?

We deliver discreet, personalised coaching for senior leaders and rising talent - grounded in a co-active coaching model and tailored to your goals and needs.

We have created a sliding scale of creativity and challenge which we can dial up or tone down as appropriate to client goals and needs.

Our packages are always bespoke, blending metaphor and storytelling archetypes to help clients break through barriers and challenge limiting beliefs.

Through Arcadia, our clients have access to world-class psychometric tools and ongoing support between sessions.

“Penny raised my awareness of the language I used and then supported me into developing this as a metaphor, one that I still use to guide me. That shift changed how I interpret the complimentary aspects of my life and helped me lean into it with curiosity. Metaphor was central to our work, often returned to across multiple sessions. Penny is really very skilled at helping develop the metaphor to have no boundaries and to be richly coloured in.”

Every package is designed for flexibility, measurable results, and real impact. To fuel our belief in continuous development, we craft seasonal offerings - like our current Arcadia Reset - reflecting our commitment to meaningful, timely transformation.

Transformation Starts Here

This isn’t about us - it’s about you. At Arcadia, your journey is the focus. Our role is to catalyse creativity, clarity, and confidence so you can achieve what matters most. Every coaching experience is private, bespoke, and designed entirely around your goals.

Packages are strategically paced with sessions two weeks apart, for the deep subconscious work to take place. Each package includes an additional Pilot session to commence and a Finish Line session to conclude, ensuring your progress is intentional and measurable.

“I now lead with greater intention and self-trust. I’m more attuned to when I’m out of alignment and more willing to course-correct. I’ve become clearer in my communication, more confident in my strategic instincts, and more committed to showing up in ways that reflect my values, even when it’s challenging.”

Agency Owner

“Penny’s coaching created a space where I could pause, reflect, and challenge my assumptions. Her approach helped me surface connections and synergies I hadn’t fully understood. I always left the sessions with a plan of how to apply this new wisdom and with concrete steps I'd committed to."

Executive Director, Tech Agency

“All the plans I developed with Penny, I immediately put into action, as I was energised and ready after our sessions. They have led to fruitful outcomes already, with much more to come.”

Start Up Agency Owner

“Penny offers a powerful space for growth. She doesn’t just help you solve problems; she helps you see yourself more clearly, trust your instincts, and lead from a place of purpose and authenticity. You will end up just where you are meant to be."

CEO, Tech Industry

"Penny's coaching has been invaluable - everyone should experience this level of transformation"

In House Communications Director
