I have a Masters from the Tavistock in Consultation and the Organisation – Psychoanalytic approaches. Using these consulting skills and twenty years in business I combine business analysis with a light touch psychological insight to help clients think about what they would like and to find ways of getting it.I use my history in recruitment, my experience as a coach and my work on interview boards to help individuals looking for work create successful applications and prepare for subsequent interviews. Recent sessions include:“Not passionate, but compassionate”. Using recent interview feedback and gentle analysis of capabilities in relation to forthcoming interview, we worked together to build quiet confidence. The candidate was subsequently offered the position.“Reasons to be confident”. Provided a very brief session to help someone consider what is currently important to them in their job search, followed by a short follow-up session to help them review their CV and to think about different approaches into the job market. “A Star Method”. Provided an afternoon’s coaching on interview techniques using Star, Situation, Task, Action and Result. I worked with a client who was looking for a new position for the first time in ten years to update his job searching skills, specifically competency based selection.If you would like to discuss any requirements of your own please feel free to contact me.
