How I can help your business

---

Most leaders learn on the job, and so they should, but I also believe in giving leaders an understanding of how to get the best out of people at work.

I have supported senior leaders, high potentials, first time managers and trainees alike in developing their emotional intelligence, leadership and management skills. My approach is a pragmatic one; I apply solid  psychological theories and concepts that leaders can see working in their worlds.

The programmes I run are engaging and experiential, where individuals have the opportunity to explore new ideas, put these into practice and receive feedback in the moment.  

Leaders, now more than ever, are managing teams in volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous (VUCA) times.  

Whether face to face or virtual, I have delivered interactive and engaging sessions helping leaders explore how they approach difficult situations, manage their own resilience, and effectively problem solve under pressure. 

Clients have worked with me to support the acquisition of new businesses, to integrate new teams or processes, and to adapt to external challenges to their business like COVID-19. 

Creating that sweet spot where team dynamics come together to achieve outstanding results can take time and effort, but it's worth it!

Team dynamics are just that, dynamic, leaders have to be aware of what can challenge team effectiveness and be constantly aware of how their team climate is helping or hindering team performance.  

I've worked with teams and leaders to build safe and constructive team climates.  Where everyone can share ideas, debate views openly and focus on a common goal.  

Individual or team coaching can support teams to achieve more, and to be happier and more fun to be part of too!

Effective coaching can build self-awareness, challenge assumptions, create new insights and prompt action.  
 

Whether it's career, transition or executive coaching I offer a variety of coaching programmes.

Feedback from my coaching assignments has highlighted my ability to quickly build trust, challenge assumptions and offer the opportunity of space and time to explore fresh perspectives.
 

An experienced coach, trained as part of the widely recognised BBC internal coaching network (an ICF and EMCC accredited course), I developed my skills in executive, transition and career coaching and follow the ICF code of ethics and standards of competence.     

Rather than having a 'menu' of sessions I can run, I prefer to work with you to develop content that is focussed on the specific needs of your business.  I can help you diagnose your development needs and partner with you to design the best solution. 

I facilitate both face to face and virtual sessions (using your preferred online platform) and clients often comment on my ability to engage with participants, build a safe place for them to learn and to challenge them to try something outside of their comfort zone. 

Examples of sessions I've run for clients include: Leading Remote Teams, Managing Relationships, Having Great Conversations, Building Trust, Influencing & Persuading, Presentation Skills, Developing Your Personal Brand & Impact, Managing Yourself Under Pressure and Resilience & Wellbeing. 

Making the transition to a new job can be stressful. Whether it's an internal promotion, starting in a new company, taking redundancy or following your dream, I can help.

Individual career coaching programmes explore your options, where you want to go, how you're going to get there and how to approach your first 90 days.   

Interactive career workshops for groups share practical tools and techniques to help individuals evaluate their career journey, personal values and explore their options and practical next steps.
