Themes that have emerged in feedback on my coaching include:

• Integrity in the establishment and management of the relationship between coach, coachee and organisational sponsor.
• Establishing a deep understanding of the individual
• Building a collaborative alliance with the coachee
• A focus on achieving growth
• Paying close attention to the organisational context
• Creation of a challenging and safe space for personal learning
• Deep listening and insightful questioning
• Generating meaningful and sustainable outcomes

A combination of internal and external roles has given me a deep working knowledge of organisations and the challenges faced by executives and leaders.

In my early career as a consultant business psychologist I worked with senior management and board level clients across a wide spectrum of businesses. Subsequently I joined an international drinks company where my roles included Employee and Organisation Development Manager and Director of Human Resources/Organisational Capability

Current and recent clients include: Standard Chartered Bank Plc; V Shipping Group Ltd; Polymer Latex UK Ltd; British Telecommunications Plc; Prudential Plc; The BBC; RBS; The Environment Agency; HBOS; The Ridgeway Partnership Trust (NHS); The Energy Saving Trust; Lloyds Banking Group and Newcastle City Council.
