Coaching
I am a professional coach with over ten years experience as a learning and development specialist and a keen understanding of how individuals can flourish within organisations and build meaningful careers.
I am passionate about coaching and believe that any organisation serious about team and individual performance needs to identify how it can access first-class external coaching alongside developing effective internal coaching skills.
My approach to coaching is built around the belief that when individuals are provided with a structured space, within which they can explore ideas and think creatively, they will always find their own perfect solutions.
I have recently left Breast Cancer Care, where I worked as their Learning & Development Manager for four years, and alongside my freelance practice am now working part-time for PA Consulting as a training consultant.
