Experienced Executive Coach & Mentor, Career Strategist and International Trainer I have had the opportunity to work with diverse organisation including Big 4, large Financial Services organisations, Bio companies and also non-profit, charities and government. I enjoy creating a safe learning environment to facilitate reflection and influence positive change. Being direct in my approach I get to route problems quickly and I’m not afraid to put my ‘finger in the sore’ to find the game changer. I have developed an intuitive understanding of people and organisations which comes to the fore when driving personal development and increasing business performance.Working throughout the UK, Europe, Africa and the USA I support leadership teams, many who work remotely. This experience has been particularly beneficial during COVID with all leaders having a need to adapt to their teams offsite working. Creating effective communications and accelerated change, both on an individual level and also organisationally I address psychological safety, confidence, motivations and banishing imposter syndrome. Having started work in the Recruitment sector in 1996, I have extensive personal experience of recruitment and job markets, managing change, outplacement programs and growing and leading teams based in multiple locations.Founder of Dickson Lewis established in 2008 which offers career coaching courses for individuals as well as Leadership Development and Strategic support within charities and organisations in Edinburgh and the UK. * Certified Practitioner in HBDI* Fully qualified Fellow of the Institute of Recruitment Professionals (FIRP)* The Regional Director for Scotland for the Institute of Recruitment Professionals from 2010-2018* Extensive experience and certifications in a variety of coaching tools and methodologies.
