With a rich background in Human Resources, Learning and Development, and a personal venture into entrepreneurship, I bring a unique blend of experience to my Executive Coaching/Mentoring and HR consultancy services. My varied journey includes launching a successful award-winning hospitality business, managing a large Police training Department, and being Director of People & Learning for a large charity. I am also a Trustee for a Women's Refuge.
What I offer
Executive Coach & Mentor
As a seasoned coach/mentor, I offer executives and entrepreneurs space, time and encouragement to transform your business, develop your leadership skills, or boost your confidence. I hold a Masters in Executive Coaching & Mentoring and lived experience running my own award-winning business.
With 30 years experience, I can offer a broad range of HR services, whether you need help with a complex people matter, a HR Strategy or want to implement AI solutions. A Fellow of the CIPD, you can employ me on a retainer, or use me on an ad hoc basis to implement organisational changes.
I offer coaching sessions through to a holistic review of your venue, from customer service to compliance, your offer to profitability, helping you action plan, holding you accountable for implementation through further coaching. I offer digital presence check ups and bespoke strategic HR services.
I worked across various HR disciplines/sectors for 30 years, bringing a wealth of experience to my practice. Highlights include attaining Best Companies 2 Star status for the YOU Trust, winning a place on the Sunday Times Best Company to Work for List and IIP Gold/Champion Status. A great honour.
I took four failed pubs/inns and transformed them into profitable venues, as well as building an outside bar/catering arm. I won contracts for large outdoor events, including Status Quo/UB40 and Jules Holland concerts. I won Best Turnaround Pub in the Great British Pub Awards two years running.
I have many years coaching managers on people issues, career & life coaching, and coaching SMEs and Executives. I enjoy being a mentor on the Government's Help to Grow Scheme, am a NLP Master Coach and a ILM Level 7 in Executive Coaching and Mentoring.
As well as being a volunteer Help to Grow Mentor, I am a Trustee for the Salisbury Women's Refuge. I have carried out significant fundraising for Gambia, which, along with my hospitality management work, led me to being a finalist in the South Wilts Business Awards 2015.
