Years ago, we’d join a company and be there for most of our working life. That gave everyone time to learn how to get along, do the job and work together. Today we change jobs more often, have more pressure, uncertainty and change to get to grips with, and the pace and complexity of our lives has increased. So given these factors, how can you ensure that you, the people you work with, and your organisation can learn, develop and thrive - together?
Facilitated Meetings
Bringing people together, away from the day to day, gives valuable time to connect, reflect, learn, and share. Ramp it up skillfully and you'll make significant shifts in embracing change, co-creating a thriving culture, and achieving a shared vision.
Whether it's over a couple of hours, a day or several days, I'll design events with you that will get to the heart of the reason for the meeting, and that encourage everyone to share responsibility for its success.
As a seasoned facilitator I use every moment well, creating an environment that brings insight, creativity, connection, robust solutions, clear decisions, and commitment to following through.
And I'll manage the group dynamics expertly, neither brushing them under the carpet or allowing them to impede progress.
So if you want your meeting or offsite to bring multiple benefits both during the event and way beyond, let's talk!
Development Programmes
Ongoing development of the know-how, skills, and impact of your leaders and managers helps the organisation to flourish too. I offer:
Leadership and Management Development: fostering and honing key skills for change, team building, creative thinking, feedback, effective meetings, and more.
Coaching and Mentoring Skills Training: skills and practice-based programmes to create empowering cultures where people can think for themselves and encourage others to do the same.
Time to Think Programmes: bespoke events and qualifying programmes for transformative coaching, facilitation and leadership. Visit here for more details
If you're seeking well designed, beautifully delivered, usable and sustainable development, let's have a conversation.Team Coaching
High performing teams combine different experiences, skills, perspectives and styles to solve complex problems, innovate and deliver far better results than individuals could do alone.
Whether you're the senior leadership team or a group of line managers, team coaching will help you to hone both individual and collective skills and talent to the benefit of the whole system.
Over time, you'll become deeply aligned, drawing on your relationships and different experiences to achieve your goals.
Together you can build a strong, inclusive, resilient and productive team, where trust is evident and everyone thrives on the shared endeavour.

Mediation
Sometimes people in relationships get stuck. Stuck in conflict, resisting change, often fearful and losing hope. And sometimes, despite all attempts, they can't get unstuck.
It's highly likely I can help. I believe that fundamentally, people have an innate drive to make things better. To have good relationships. To take pride in their work. To achieve positive outcomes. We just need to tap into that. And build on it.
With my experience and knowledge of interpersonal dynamics and what makes people tick, I can help by facilitating conversations and agreements that people never previously thought possible.
Through formal or informal mediation, round-the-table facilitated meetings, a series of team activities or a combination of interventions, my fresh approach can move them from negative and stagnant to positive and purposeful.
