How we work together!

I help companies to develop their professional people so that they can effectively fulfil broader management roles.

I provide this through programmes of personal coaching that are individually designed to meet each client's specific needs. I use the techniques of Neuro-Linguistic Programming, added to my experience of 28 years in R&D management, to help people to achieve what they thought was impossible for them.

It is possible to develop people beyond what appears to be their "natural" limit. Then you can:

  • Retain your best people by helping them to gain the additional skills they need to move into bigger roles
  • Save by not having to replace highly qualified people who get frustrated and leave
  • Save by not having them struggling to fulfil management roles that are beyond them
  • Save by avoiding the negative effects of poor management on the business and the people in it.

A client recently worked with me to improve the way they managed the performance of their team members. This went right to the core of what individuals value. Management's tendency to focus on the task was reasonably effective in controlling the work but was not effective in motivating and inspiring the people. By changing this emphasis, they were able to raise morale and team commitment and reduce the loss of highly qualified people.

My approach goes beyond conventional training that focuses on "what" to do. I unpick the internal thinking patterns that constitute how you do it. Usually, even an expert themselves can't articulate these patterns; they are unconscious. I have techniques to unravel all of this and transfer it to others.

I guarantee that you will experience a significant change in outlook and capability as a result of working with me. All I ask is that the people involved are motivated to change and take a positive approach to the coaching activities that I invite them to undertake.

"The modelling programme allowed me to understand and then to reproduce the ability of a colleague to positively influence a team's behaviour in a way I had always admired.
... with some coaching support I've found it easier to achieve similar levels of performance from a team.
