I’m passionate about helping people and organizations work better together, finding outcomes that really work for both individuals and the business. I focus on saying what needs to be said—but in a way that it can actually be heard and acted on. I believe in the power of coaching and facilitation to draw solutions out of others, rather than assuming I have the answers. However, I’ve worked with businesses of all shapes and sizes, so I’ve got plenty of stories and examples to share when they’re helpful and I am happy to have a point of view. One of the things I love most is connecting people from different organizations so that they can learn from one another.I get to the heart of the matter and pursue clarity. I’m a big fan of laughter to put people at their ease and create an atmosphere where difficult things can be aired. At my best I bring:• Enough structure and creativity to keep conversations on track and achieve what’s needed.• The ability to really listen and see things from different perspectives.• The courage to ask the difficult (but necessary) questions.• A breadth of experiences—from running a family business with my husband Mark (The Grange Hampshire) to working with big global businesses, charities, and government.• Experience from the leadership roles that I have had, including as MD of What If London and Businessfourzero.What’s Next:Working with Alembic Strategy (www.alembicstrategy.com) I want to spend the next phase of my career making life less stressful for family businesses. That means building stronger relationships, supporting the next generation of leaders, smoothing tricky transitions, and helping families and their businesses find better ways forward.
