My principal focus is organisational culture change, facilitated through Executive Coaching, Leadership and Performance Training and Staff Engagement. I deliver bespoke programmes and accredited training - in-person or remote - including:• C-Suite Leadership Development• Manager-as-Coach• Leading Without Formal Authority • Train the Trainer (Internal Coaching) • Coaching Supervision • Mentoring and Team Building• Board / Trustee Appraisals and Reporting• and more - bespoke programmes available on request • ILM endorsed courses are available through ILM Centre, Culture at Work.By modelling emotional maturity and respectful communication, these programmes bring awareness of the fundamental people-issues, systems and beliefs that underlie so many organisations' perceptions of their leaders. Then - (and only then) - the leaders can become equipped to better support the health and productivity of their teams. I work with multi-cultural companies of all sizes and sectors, in over 35 countries in both English and French, including: England Rugby (RFU), Reckitt Benckiser, Johnson & Johnson, Hilti Corporation, Linde, Phillip Morris (PMI), IKEA, NHS, Westminster CC, Kent CC, Kent Fire Service, AmEx, Barclays, Bank of Nigeria, Astrium, IG Bank, International Personal Finance, Deutsche Bank, Nectar Group, Westfield Shoppingtowns, Edelman, Jaipur Rugs, Medtronic, Channel 4, 59 Productions, Discovery Channel, GE Healthcare, Eli Lilly, Leaders Quest, National Bank of Abu Dhabi, Olympic Delivery Authority, Volleyball England, Saudi Volleyball Federation, Mindspan (China), English Schools Foundation (HK), Etonkids Montessori (China), N.Somerset Education Council, MOE Foundation, SPANA, World Animal Protection, Eastlight Homes, English Churches Housing Group, Kaizen Gaming...I have worked and studied closely with coaching thought leaders including Sir John Whitmore, Nancy Kline, Anthony Robbins, Tim Gallwey, David Grove and Carol Wilson. I was formerly an FIVB elite sports coach and international volleyball clinician, accumulating a vast and priceless hoard of insights into the components of success, failure, winning and losing and all the challenges associated with personal achievement, communication and high-level performance.These experiences have been integrated over 35 years into staff engagement programmes, designed to significantly improve: • peak performance and personal insight • dynamic communication and connectedness• maintain morale and motivation • recruitment and retention of valued workers who want to make a difference.
