Worked as a senior OD Manager in a number of organisations in both the public and private sectors.

Professional indemnity insurance development centres. My particular expertise is driving organisational cultural change which enables me to work with individuals and teams in the specific context of the organisation.

Qualities/personal attributes
A values driven, committed and enthusiastic Executive Coach and
OD professional with a proven track record of successfully working with organisations and individuals to maximise potential across both the public and private sectors. As well as credibility and competence
I bring a personal style that creates a safe, supportive environment for my coachees to explore and experiment, with sufficient challenge to provide a catalyst for change.
Tools/techniques/models Client centred approach that very much works with the individual within the organisational context to raise awareness and support personal growth. Approach is rooted in the theory of cognitive behavioural psychology but draws upon a range of theories and techniques to adapt to the clients’ needs including, use of gestalt, systems theory and positive psychology such as appreciative enquiry. As a qualified psychometric tester I have access to a range of assessment tools but also use 360 degree feedback and iresilience.
