Thanks for visiting
I help individuals, teams and organisations create clarity about where they want to go and how to get there.
I bring over 25 years of experience in corporate, running my own businesses and working in academia to my work in helping sustainable transformation.
Core skills
A – Coaching
As a Professional Certified Coach of the International Coach Federation, I bring over 20 years of coaching experience to my work. In that time I have coached leaders at all levels in English and Spanish. My coaching work is about 85% virtual (via webinar platforms like Skype, Zoom or Webex) and 15% face to face. I am comfortable with group and team coaching and I am able to provide feedback on a range of psychometrics and 360 degree surveys.
B – Facilitation
As a Certified Professional Facilitator of the International Association of Facilitators, I have experience in a range of interventions from strategic alliance planning, through to product and service innovation using Innovation Games and on to conference design and moderation. I can design and deliver one off events or a whole series of “chained” processes to arrive at a required goal. I am experienced with large group interventions such as World Cafe, Open Space and Future Search.
I am the only personal globally to hold both of these designations and have done so for close to ten years.
Experience
Business Experience
I bring twenty five years plus of business experience to my work as a Master Facilitator. I have held leadership roles as a partner or director of a range of SME’s and worked as a leader in the professional services arm of a Fortune 100 company. I have worked in more than thirty countries and including 16 plus years in Spain, where I worked in a range of roles in fluent Spanish.
Academic experience
I hold a range of qualifications: A Professional Diploma in Management, an MBA, MSc in Systems Thinking in Practice and an MA in Online & Distance Education. I am currently in Year 2 of a BSc in Design & Innovation.
I currently work as faculty in executive education at LIMAK in Austria and have previously worked with the Berlin School for Creative leadership in a similar role, as well as the Open University Business School where my focus was marketing, finance and 21st century leadership.
Face to Face
I bring over 25 years of experience of designing and delivering of events, meeting facilitation and corporate training. In that time I have worked in over 30 countries with groups of 100+ through to 6 and regularly work in English & Spanish.
Blended
I have created over the last 15 years or so a range of programmes that combine face to face with online instructor led delivery. Typically these are in the leadership development, transformation or B2B Sales enablement space. Blending improves retention and impact and can reduce costs of travel.
Remote
For over 15 years I have been designing and delivering online training, events and meeting moderation. I work weekly in this environment and I am comfortable using a range of tools, from platforms like Zoom and Adobe connect through to online collaboration sites like Mural and Miro.
