Team Development
I’m an experienced and accredited (CIPD Chartered Fellow) facilitator and people professional bringing a strengths based approach to developing individuals and teams. I use expertise and current evidence to underpin my work delivering this in a warm, approachable way that helps others feel comfortable and understood.
During my 30 year career I've worked in people roles across hospitality, retail, healthcare, membership bodies, charities and social businesses. I’ve worked with organisations of all sizes - but I’m especially passionate about supporting charities and small employers that don’t have an in-house people team, or would like expert external support.
Who do I work with?
SMEs and third sector organisations who want to:
- unlock the strengths in their team to increase performance and improve staff engagement
- explore their collective strengths so they work effectively together and thrive
- demonstrate a commitment to the continuing professional development of their staff by empowering them to grow personally and professionally within their careers
?Individuals and solopreneurs who may not have access to professional development support but still want to develop their strengths for career and business success.
You may be a professional who needs:
- some space and support to identify your key strengths but also focus on areas of your performance which may be holding you back.
- Or you may be lacking confidence or clarity on the next steps for your growth, learning and development.
How do I help teams?
I help teams to identify their individual and collective strengths, exploring how they can harness these to deliver social impact or commercial success.
I do this through designing and facilitating bespoke workshops, supporting problem solving through action learning sets and undertaking TalentPredix strengths assessments. I create calm, safe spaces for open conversations and collaborative working grounded in expertise in people management developed over 30 years.
How do I help individuals and solopreneurs?
I undertake TalentPredix strengths assessments with individuals using a self-assessment questionnaire, analysis of the results and a coaching debrief identifying key strengths, career motivators and values. Helping professionals take the next steps in developing their career or self-employed business.
