I work with people and groups where relationship underpins the personal, complex, and systemic.

As complex pieces of work rarely arrive with a clean label such as coaching, mediation, facilitation, organisational development - I begin with deep listening to meet the client where they are and discern the way forward together. Whilst precedent exists from previous relationships and work, every new engagement is a nuanced design, arrived at after listening deeply and designing with the client around their needs. I work in supportive and augmentative ways when structures and systems are already working - enhancing best practice with tools, systems, and ways of working to bring people together and make wise decisions in complex moments. I also work in gnarly, discomforting and discreet circumstances, for example where leadership needs direct and discreet support through coaching, mentoring and side by side planning. I work with teams where culture and dynamics are evolving and support helps the evolution follow a constructive trajectory. Everything begins with a conversation and I would appreciate hearing more about your context, without any pressure, payment or imperative. Drop me a line.

From this foundation of deep listening, the best and nuanced combination of skills (and often bringing in other team members to support) is built: sometimes a structured conversation, sometimes a longer piece of facilitation, sometimes individual coaching alongside group work, sometimes longer group and organisational change processes. The map on the next page shows the strands. In practice, they're most often used interwoven with each other, in various combinations, throughout our time working together.
