Work With Me

Organisations

Lorem Ipsum

I’m a Professional Development Consultant with more than twenty years experience in the people space as an HR leader, which means I understand how to engage and motivate people, but also how to meet the needs of the organisation – I bring the blend.

When I work with my clients I always question to understand the problem they’re experiencing, so I can give suitable solutions. I adapt my approach, so I know when to coach, and when to guide.

When you choose to partner with me, there is a ripple effect, which impacts the employee experience by:

  • Increasing retention due to engagement
  • Strengthening the employer brand, attracting talent
  • Confident leadership
  • Psychological safety

If you or your organisation are looking for something different, then book a call to discover how I can support you.

Why Choose Me?

I have an HR background, coupled with skills in strategy for change and scaling, as well as facilitation and executive coaching, collectively support businesses in several crucial aspects:

  • Organisational Growth and Scalability
  • Effective Leadership Development
  • Adaptability & Change Management
  • Talent Management
  • Cultural Transformation
  • Enhanced Decision Making

These skills collectively empower businesses to navigate challenges, optimise their human capital, and foster a dynamic and resilient organisational culture.

I have successfully navigated and supported organisations and individuals with these aspects, but this is not an exhaustive list so if you have a problem you want to solve then get in touch here:

Self-Development

Coaching or Mentoring individuals 1:1 to be the best they can be, understanding why they react and behave the way they do, enabling them to have a deeper connection to themselves and others, and making relationships, work, and life more meaningful.

Wellness

Developing and facilitating programmes that create psychological safety in an organisational culture, to enable people to bring their whole selves to work. Creating a culture of inclusiveness and belonging, which brings diverse thinking and competitive advantage.

Change Management

Facilitating leadership sessions to understand the change they need to achieve, and how they do this whilst appreciating the impact of change and human behaviour.

Supporting with a communication strategy, to ensure this aligns with the culture, and people are successfully taken on the change journey.

Emotional Intelligence

Facilitating group/team and individuals to raise self-awareness, using coaching tools and techniques, as well as Insights psychometric assessments where appropriate.  Increasing performance, productivity, and engagement.

Upskilling

My Developing Leaders programme shapes emerging and existing leaders to understand themselves so they lead effectively, taking an inside-out approach, which impacts engagement, retention, performance, and communication.

Team Dynamics

Facilitating teams or project groups to understand their unique strengths and differences, raising awareness about how this impacts their behaviours and ripples through their communication, adaptability, decision-making, and appetite for action.

Transitions

Through a tailored coaching programme, I work 1:1 with people who have been absent from a business long- term, or newly promoted to leadership, or new to an organisation, to successfully integrate them into the business.  A tailored programme to engage efficiently and effectively.

Scaling Up

Working with CEOs and Founders to develop a people strategy when they go from start-up to scale-up, it’s a two-pronged approach, providing expert advice about the how, what, and when but also coaching to ensure there’s clarity around the important – why.  This positively impacts future employee acquisition as well as retention.

Consultancy

I love to work with people-centric organisations on projects that improve the working environment so their people can thrive.  When you work with me, I will listen, learn, and understand the change you want to see, and I’ll partner with key stakeholders to embed the change, so you don’t need me back unless it’s to work on something new.

A flavour of past projects: opening offices in the USA & Australia, creating a well-being culture, employee acquisition and retention, and understanding the impact of change.
