Backed by experience
Some doors change everything. I believe that where you grow up should open doors, not close them.
Place shapes lives and when we nurture people and places, we nurture potential. I know this because I lived it.
I’ve seen firsthand how the right support, at the right time, can unlock possibilities that once felt out of reach. That experience didn’t just shape my life, it has defined my own purpose journey.
As founder of Good Place Co, that journey takes its most personal step yet, because I know, firsthand, how powerful opportunity can be. It’s what led me to spend over 30 years working alongside young people, communities, and leaders, locally, nationally, and internationally.
I’ve had the privilege of leading through growth, challenge, crisis, and change. I know the responsibility leaders carry and how vital the right support is.
Good Place Co is built on everything I’ve lived, led, and learned. It exists to partner with charities, leaders, and supporters driving place-based change and to help them unlock the potential of people and communities.

Driven by change
Shaped by lived experience, our mission and values guide courageous, compassionate, and equitable change in every partnership.
Our mission
That’s why we partner with leaders, charities, and supporters to unlock potential, strengthen organisations, and back those building fairer futures.
Guided by courage, compassion, and equity, we listen deeply, shape support to real contexts, and work in partnership with leaders to create strategies, cultures, and impact that last
Our values
Our values shape our commitments: offering equity-based pricing, and dedicating a minimum of 10% of our time to pro bono support for place-based and equity-led initiatives that might not otherwise have access.
Courage – We help leaders face complexity with clarity and confidence, making grounded, purposeful choices when it matters most.
Compassion – We bring humanity and empathy into every partnership, creating safe spaces for honesty and growth.
Equity – We believe everyone deserves a fair chance, wherever they grow up, and we prioritise listening to voices too often overlooked or misheard.
Supported by changemakers
Hear from changemakers about the ways we’ve partnered leaders and organisations to achieve meaningful, lasting impact.
I've had the pleasure of working with Sharon Davies recently through the Enterprise Trust, and I’ve been struck by the rare mix she brings to the table: strategic insight, practical know-how, and a deep, values-driven commitment to increasing opportunities for young people. Sharon is someone who can quickly get to the heart of complex challenges, build strong partnerships, and translate vision into action.
Her contribution to our work has been thoughtful, impactful, and focused on long-term outcomes. As she builds Good Place Co, I’ve no doubt Sharon will continue to be a powerful ally to leaders and organisations working for change.
It’s been great working alongside Sharon, particularly on the agenda of supporting more young people to develop themselves and getting them connected up to better opportunities. Being able to focus on practical grass roots change, tailoring that to very different places and communities is what’s so important.
Sharon is exceptional. In a consulting role she asks the right questions listens with intent, sets appropriate boundaries, develops realistic and pragmatic solutions and helps progress the team. Sharon is empathetic and giving. She is intelligent and thoughtful. Her new venture will do well as a consequence.
