About me
Hello! I started my business in consultancy, coaching, training and facilitation in 2017. after a career of over fourteen years as an academic. I am keen to help individuals, communities and organisations be the best versions of themselves that they can be. I was privileged to be named an Inspirational Diversity and Inclusion Leader 2023 by D&I Leaders.
Training and facilitation
To my training and facilitation I bring academic expertise in how diversity, inclusion and in particular gender and sexuality operate in society, evidenced by my PhD and research publications. Furthermore, I bring over fourteen years’ experience in designing and delivering learning programmes for adults. This includes experience in introducing and nurturing spaces for conversations around sex, gender and sexual orientation, potentially sensitive topics. I’ve delivered training across the private, public and charity sectors. I love learning and developing and have recently completed certificates in action learning and in mediation.
Coaching
I am an executive coach and I enjoy supporting people to draw on their greatest resource – themselves – to maximise their potential, explore options, clarify and attain their goals. I offer coaching to individuals as well as within organisations wishing to develop their staff.
Consultancy
I draw on my research experience, knowledge and project management skills to offer a range of consultancy. Examples include qualitative research for a Fortune 100 company, the Equality and Human Rights Commission and external evaluation work for the harm-reduction charity, Change, Grow, Live, for the Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner for Northumbria and for Tyne and Wear Archives and Museums.
