There are some core principles that underpin my work
One size doesn’t fit all. I tailor each project to each client, investing time up front to understand your goals and co-create a plan that we both feel completely confident in. It’s the principle of ‘go slow to go fast’.
I don’t take things at face value. I ask questions, inquire … exploring what’s not being said and what’s going on beneath the surface. Listening closely and feeding back what I hear reveals unexpected perspectives and possibilities.
I am always compassionate. I may challenge, but I am never negative, and I remain deeply understanding of the difficulties involved in change. I build on what my clients already do well, support them practically and emotionally as they move towards new ways of being and help them to find the same sense of compassion in their own leadership.
Knowledge has to translate into action. I love theory, and I draw on the latest science, research and thinking. But for me, all learning must have a practical application. I always ask ‘So what? How will this knowledge make an impact?’
