Senior Programme AdvisorSpecialising in Business Change, Transformation and Programme Delivery, I have over 20 years’ experience in senior programme leadership and related Director-level advisory roles.My record of orchestrating successful strategic change and programme delivery spans all aspects of business development and growth across start-up, SME and blue-chip environments in multiple industry sectors.Most often, clients will engage me for one of two reasons: either to work on an urgent initiative that is too important to fail or to establish the reality of an existing programme that is struggling and needs a credible way forward.My clients comment in particular on how I bring clarity, focus and control to ambiguous and complex situations, with an unwavering focus on achieving the required outcomes. And as a Systems Thinker, I absolutely love collaboratively finding creative and innovative ways through seemingly intractable problems. Ultimately though, my success comes through working productively with people, teams and partnerships at all levels and by tenaciously driving consensus and dissolving conflicts.Executive Coaching & MentoringMy coaching and mentoring practice has grown organically out of my work supporting individuals and teams to deliver the most challenging programmes and change initiatives. I have mentored and coached many individuals, from seasoned C-suite leaders to those just becoming established in their careers. I love the process of engaging and working with individuals so they can gain fresh perspectives, grow their self-awareness and significantly improve their effectiveness and impact.My approach to executive coaching is informed by my psychological training at Regents University School of Psychotherapy and Counselling and grounded in 20 years of personal experience working at senior levels in businesses undergoing all kinds of challenges. Mentoring differs from coaching in that my goal is to share my experience with the mentee and accelerate their professional and personal development. I am currently a Project Management mentor for the Engineering Construction Industry Training Board (ECITB). Previously, through the School for Social Entrepreneurs, I was a business mentor to Social Entrepreneurs and leaders of charities.Coaching and mentoring engagements range from ‘one-off’ sessions to explore a specific area to longer-term engagements lasting several months.
