HOW CAN I HELP YOU?

I help people to build powerful brands, increase audiences, raise money, and develop their teams and culture.
My advice is based on wide-ranging projects over 30 years' experience of multiple sectors and disciplines.

My services span strategic consultancy, coaching and facilitation. I also support recruitment of senior posts,
and act as a speaker, conference chair, panel member, and interim executive.

STRATEGIC CONSULTANCY

More, different, better, easier

I help clients to

create orgnisational strategy and plans
develop brands, communications and marketing strategy
shape and invigorate fundraising campaigns (revenue and capital)
review digital strategy
undertake capital developments
pursue culture change
improve governance
devise creative visitor engagement
recruit senior staff and build teams

I take time to understand your context and needs, ask the right questions, and provide focused strategic and practical advice which delivers your mission. I can help you to articulate your purpose and goals, and plan effective action which gets results.

I aim to be insightful, imaginative, energising, encouraging and collegiate. Here’s what clients say about my approach.

COACHING AND MENTORING

Achieve Your Goals

I help individual clients in two ways

as a mentor – through supportive conversations offering advice, insights, contacts and tips
as a coach – a structured 'sounding board' which helps you think and find the best way forward

Sessions are always tailored to your own needs.

I work with senior leaders, mid-career and emerging managers and freelancers.
Sessions can be held in person, by phone or online.
Topics might include: developing
specialist expertise; adapting
leadership style; stepping up a level
in management; planning a change of direction; and many more.

My approach is based on formal training (using the GROW model) and also decades of practical experience as a line manager and team leader. During my career I have helped scores of emerging and established leaders to reflect on and develop their personal effectiveness. I enjoy helping people with diverse personal styles to assess their situation, tackle problems and tap into strengths
and potential.

FACILITATION

Come together, think together

I design, plan and deliver participatory workshops, awaydays and residentials which are invigorating, collaborative and produce clear outcomes.

I help Boards, staff teams and networked groups to think constructively and creatively together, to find common ground, stretch boundaries, and move forward.

I can either

develop a session to your brief, or
deliver my own tried and tested subject-specific workshops. These include: The Bluffer's Guide to Branding, Fundraising for Boards, Fundraising for Non-Fundraisers,
Build Your Personal Brand, and The Career MOT.

Sessions can be in person or online.

An external 'hand on the tiller' often makes all the difference to the success of a team event – whether an expert guide is needed, a fresh perspective, or an objective compass. Finding common ground and new angles comes more easily – and everyone can participate fully, without worrying about managing the session.
