Caroline has provided me with coaching for the past year, and has supported me in developing my team and preparing my business to make the transition from start-up to scale-up. She has become a much trusted member of my team and has been of enormous help in supporting my own leadership journey. She's strategic and smart, but she's also a genuine people person and brings an infectious positive energy with her. More...
What do you love most about your job?
Making connections with people. Finding solutions, getting to a place of insight, seeing a way forward. I love working with people individually, and in teams, on what they can do to develop and grow, or to face a challenge or transition, or to simply be more effective in the way they are working. I am a good listener and train others to listen through my volunteering work for Samaritans, and that's really the key to all of this; listening and tuning in to people and their perspectives on things enables me to understand what's important to them, what's blocking them, and how we can work together to create the results people are seeking.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I started my career as an industrial chemist but later changed to organisational and people development as that was my passion. It still is, and I am energised by helping businesses, teams and individuals solve problems, develop and grow. I've done this for large, medium, and lately, start-ups. I am now at a stage in my career where I want to work directly with people and teams again rather than running departments, and most importantly, I want to do things in a way that's true to my personal values. What are they? I've posted a picture in my profile section that represents who I am and how I go about this work, it's the one with a watering can on which is written "Honesty, Integrity and Acceptance". The small print at the bottom reads "creating the conditions for people to flourish and feel valued". Have a look at that if you want to know more.
Why should our clients choose you?
I do this work because it fascinates me and gives me energy. I've been successful over the past decade doing this for large, medium and most recently in a start-up, and the CEO I worked with there has kindly posted a review on here. I understand how tough it is in a small business, and how you need effective but pragmatic solutions that bring results fast. Let me help you find some new energy and a fresh outlook on things, whether you're an individual or a business.
Life Coaching
Are you stuck? I can help you find solutions to whatever dilemma you're facing. I'm a qualified coach offering guidance and life coaching to empower you to get into action and achieve the outcomes you seek.
My services are available online or by phone, and I offer an initial free 30 min session for you to see if we're a good match.
Executive and team coaching
I have worked with executives in large corporations as well as SMEs and start-ups. I can help individuals and teams gain self-awareness, clarify goals, improve performance, resolve conflict, unlock potential, and act as a sounding board.
Leadership development
Effective leadership development is often less about WHAT you know, and more about your own mindset and way of looking at things. There are endless resources to help you, but what are the areas you need help in, and what are the questions you need to be asking to focus on the right things? How can you evaluate what you're doing now, and identify what to change to produce better results? How can you grow into, and get comfortable in your own leadership style? I enjoy helping individuals answer these questions, and have a lot of experience identifying (as well as designing and delivering) development programs for businesses of all sizes.
Talent management
Whether you're a small or a large business, it is your people who drive success. Do you have the right people in the right role? What does good look like in the critical roles you need in your business? How do you identify the right people for you? How do you grow your own talent? How do you help people stretch and reach their potential? Whether you have a small team of 4 or an organisational structure with multiple large teams, you need to understand how to keep your people plan relevant and focused on delivering future success for your business. I can help you scope what's needed now, and for the future, whether you're a start-up or an SME or bigger.
