How do you help clients?
I help clients to identify and implement the behavioural shifts that will be needed in the organisation and people to be successful as their business context changes.
At the organisational level this can be through (re)defining the values, skills and behaviours needed to successfully evolve the business.
At the individual level, I help leaders to better understand their strengths and development area and target development activities to enable them achieve their aspirations.
I undertake recruitment or promotion assessments for clients, providing clear analysis of strengths and development needs, clear hire/ no hire recommendations and onboarding/ development suggestions.
I also provide individual and team-based coaching, and facilitate leadership and management development programmes, as part of wider client engagements.
