Support for the people side of work

You know something needs attention, but you may not know which support would help. I work with organisations on leadership, teams and workplace culture, starting with what’s happening rather than a particular programme.

Who needs to be involved?

Team coaching

Your leadership or management team shares decisions and responsibilities, and you want it to work better together, whether something has become difficult or a good team wants to achieve more. We look at the team’s relationships, expectations and follow-through, including the pressures around it. The work involves the team, not just its individual members.

Leadership development

You’re bringing leaders or managers together to develop the people part of their work. They may lead different teams but face similar challenges. A commissioned programme connects their learning with opportunities to practise and support from their organisation.

Individual leadership coaching

One leader needs space to think through a responsibility, relationship or change in role. Coaching focuses on that person within the organisation, with an agreed purpose and clear boundaries around any employer involvement.

Consulting

You need to understand what’s behind an organisational concern before deciding what to do. Perhaps people explain it differently, or previous action hasn’t helped. We agree what to look at and what information would help you choose a response.

Workshops and facilitation

A workshop, team day or facilitated session can give your group time to learn, work through a shared question or agree priorities. We start with a clear purpose and what is realistic within the time available.

Retained partnerships

Some work needs attention over time. A retained partnership gives us an agreed way to keep working together, with clear priorities, contact arrangements and review points. We discuss what continuing support should include before you commit.

You don’t have to choose the format first

We begin with what you’re noticing, who is affected and what you’d like to be different. A first conversation helps us decide whether my work is relevant. It doesn’t commit you to a programme.

Where we need to look more closely, we agree what that work will cover before beginning. The response might be a focused session, a longer programme or a change your organisation can take forward itself.

My approach

Listening to the people doing the work

You get a real sense working with Lisa that she wants to make a difference and truly does.

Start with what you’re noticing

Tell me a little about the situation and the people involved. We can work out where to begin and whether I’m the right person to help.
