Background
I started my career in management working in the retail sector with Littlewoods and Sainsbury. Then for 24 years worked for Bidfood a major international foodservice distributor, where I worked for the first 14 years in Management and key Leadership positions and the last 10 years in a Learning and Development role.
This focussed on Improving Individual and team performance through the design and delivery of Management and Leadership programmes and Sales and Influencing training. Supported with 1:1 mentoring and coaching to Improve personal and interpersonal skills. Enabling Individuals and teams to reach their full potential.
More recently
For the last 6 years I have been working as a freelance Learning & Development Consultant. Using my wealth of knowledge to provide a bespoke training and development service for businesses and individuals.
Beginning with training needs analysis, through to programme design, delivery, and training evaluation. With development solutions ranging from a one-off training event to a programme of workshops with coaching and or mentoring sessions if required.
I start with an initial meeting to fully understand what you would like to achieve, your objectives and goals. Together we explore your business and or personal challenges, capabilities, timescales, and priorities.
I Specialise in:
- Leadership and Management development
- Self-awareness and Personal growth
- Sales and influencing skills
- Team building
Using Insights Discovery, a psychometric tool based on the work of Carl Jung as the building blocks of the development solutions.
Approach
I use a blended learning approach. Combining pragmatic, and fun workshops which promote discussion and produce results time and time again. Alongside 1:1 coaching to encourage Individuals to be proactive, develop their potential and achieve personal and business goals. To become the best version of themselves.
I am passionate about creating the best possible learning environment to ensure training solutions are fit for purpose, fit with your culture and values, and produce the required results. Workshops are designed to be very interactive and practical, creating a safe learning space which enables participants to fully engage and achieve their learning objectives.
