Mentoring and coaching in the workplace provide a multitude of benefits for both employees and organisations as a whole. The right initiatives can provide your employees with the skills they need to perform to the highest of their abilities. They can help you nurture more productive, efficient, and autonomous teams, and create the right culture and environment for everyone to flourish. (source: Deloitte).The benefits of coaching are many: 80% of people who receive coaching report increased self-confidence; over 70% benefit from improved work performance, relationships, and more effective communication skills; and 86% of companies report that they recouped their investment on coaching and more (source: ICF 2009).Walking is simple, free and one of the easiest ways to get more active, lose weight and become healthier (source: NHS on-line).Why not combine the two...and work with an experienced coach whilst enjoying the 'great outdoors'...and the mandatory pub meal or afternoon tea.

BDO is the award-winning UK member firm of the BDO international network, the world's fifth largest accountancy organisation, with more than 1,000 offices in over 100 countries.I am a CIPD and CMI qualified human resources consultant with over 20 years’ experience of advising and assisting a variety of organisations across the private, public and not for profit sectors with people, strategic and change management issues. I am also an experienced coach, mentor and facilitator and carry out work on a national basis.My role switched to BDO following the merger between PKF (UK) LLP and BDO LLP.

PKF (UK) LLP were a firm of accountants and business advisers who specialised in advising growing and entrepreneurial businesses, AIM and fully listed companies, and public and not-for-profit organisations. I was based out of the four Northern offices but also carried out work on a UK-wide basis. PKF (UK) LLP merged with BDO LLP in April 2013.I worked with publically-funded organisations such as the Charity Commission, DSTL, e-skills UK, International Institute for Environment and Development on business risk and strategic HR issues.I was equally comfortable assisting SMEs at various points during their life cycle. Many owner/directors wait too long before considering and acting upon changing internal/external business conditions and consequently run the risk of a significant loss of shareholder value. There are times therefore where an assessment of the strategic options going forward is required. I was often asked to act as a facilitator/sounding board to help owners/directors explore their strategic options. I was however equally at home helping a manager to resolve an operational HR issue.I provided bespoke coaching and mentoring services, delivered HR-related training workshops and psychometric assessment services for a range of organisations including JRI, Cintas Document Management UK Ltd, ACM Global Central Laboratory, Business Link Yorkshire, Card Factory and Mardix.I helped overseas businesses setting up UK-based operations with HR advice and assistance.I carried out governance and management due diligence work on behalf of UKCES, BIS and several high street funders.Areas of specialism included; Operational HR I Strategic HR and Succession/exit planning I Employee feedback I Enterprise Coaching and Mentoring I Change Management I Governance and Management Due Diligence I Strategic Planning
