Key services

Using my 5 pillars framework I audit organisations to identify where the pressure points are. I then explore solutions and opportunities. I propose a plan of action. And implement it or work with your team to deliver it. 

Areas of expertise 

• HR transformation – developing an HR strategy by auditing the current situation, taking a data driven approach to assess the current situation, proposing solutions, agreeing a plan of action and then implementing it or working with your team to implement it.

As a qualified Executive Coach and Leadership Mentor, I have rich experience in coaching Founders, CEOs, senior and middle managers and high potential junior managers from across a range of industries. The foundation of my coaching lies in helping people build their self-awareness through personality profiling, values, communication and influencing style identification. We then go on to discuss the areas where clients would like to grow and improve. I support clients in visualising and obtaining positive results with a variety of techniques and astute questioning. Coaching works because it is the client who sets their own outcomes.  

As a Leadership Mentor, I listen to what people’s concerns are, ask challenging questions, provide guidance using a variety of different models and frameworks and act as your supporter.  

Some examples of areas that I’ve supported clients with: 

• Self management and focus 
• Building self belief, implementing positive habits and drive 
• Navigating a challenging political environment 
• Supporting those who are new in role create priorities 
• Leading and motivating high potential people and challenging people 
• Clarifying values and using this to guide future career direction
• Building self awareness to enhance communication and rapport building 
• Helping to compile a results oriented CV, an engaging cover letter and LinkedIn profile and refining interviewing skills 
• Preparing for a significant promotional interview round by creating a positive mindset and having impressive examples ready to inform the interviewer 

In an SME, it may be the case that there is a less experienced person responsible for the HR function who needs support, advice and guidance from a more experienced person.  Or there may someone in a larger organisation who needs support on a specific project.  This an area that I love and have spent my career supporting and developing people, some of whom are now HR Directors and Lawyers. 

This is an area that I’m passionate about as I have a mixed race background. 

Diversity and inclusion was an area of focus at Planet Organic particularly with regard to gender.

I have developed a model called ‘The seven steps to building an inclusive culture’ and can implement all or part of that for your organisation.
