Working in management development for over 25 years has taught me that what I do only makes a difference if people use what they’ve learnt.
That’s why I try to make everything I do relevant to the situations managers actually face, and useful when they’re back at work.
Both sides of the table
Before setting up my own business, I held senior L&D roles at Guardian News & Media and Three. So I’ve experienced management development from both sides – commissioning it as well as designing and delivering it.
For the past 19 years, I’ve worked with organisations of all shapes and sizes, helping them develop their managers and management teams.
The psychology behind the practice
My interest in what makes development effective led me to study Occupational Psychology at Birkbeck, where I became particularly interested in how learning transfers back into the workplace.
I later completed an MSc in Performance Psychology at Bangor, exploring what helps people perform when it matters.
Both have shaped how I think about development, performance and what helps managers change.
How I work
I’m not interested in making things more complicated than they need to be. I ask questions, challenge thinking and bring ideas and experience where they’re useful.
Whether I’m working with a group of managers or an intact team, I want people to feel able to talk openly about what’s really happening and leave with something they can do differently.
