Our Services
Talent
Assessment
Understanding people enables you to determine how well your staff are engaged, helps them to develop self-awareness and think through their career options, develop succession and people expansion plans. We use a combination of psychometric tests, face to face interviews and group sessions.
MyFuturePlan -
Group Coaching
We use a combination of group online and face to face sessions to build self-awareness and understand the key personal development areas early in your career. This is delivered through MyFuturePlan which is split into 3 sessions, targeted at groups of individuals from different organisations.
Individual &
Team Coaching
Using individual and team-based coaching approaches we provide people with an opportunity to evaluate how to work more effectively in teams and builds collaborative working.
These sessions are delivered in-person and remotely.
Learning and
Development
Often the talent assessment and team and group coaching highlight learning and development needs.
We have developed a range of sessions to address the key areas such as communication, dealing with conflict and understanding your strengths.
Coach Approach
I have underpinned my connection base and business experience in the biotechnology sector with a foundation in coaching practice gained from Henley Business School where I received a Certificate in Coaching in 2012 (Grade A+). This has been augmented by a deeper dive into Time to Think coaching practice, Firework Career Coaching and accreditation to use four key psychometric tools assessing behavioural, emotion management, high performance and personal resilience traits.
My focus is based on creating a holistic picture of people, taking account of their personality, technical skills, experience and ambition. This insight helps an individual navigate their career. For a corporate client it builds a picture of your organisation’s current levels of engagement whilst addressing succession planning. This optimises your capacity to attract and retain your colleagues and provides them with the opportunity to step back and plan their future.

You In The Workplace
1. Technical Skills - Your educational qualifications are key in this sector but you are surrounded by skilled people so it’s important to differentiate yourself and secure roles that meet your interests and aspirations.
2. Experience - Your experience significantly differentiates you in the workplace so it’s key to understand how you can best apply and benchmark this to meet your ambitions.
3. Ambition - Success depends on you understanding where you want to be in the short term (how do I make the most of the current situation) and medium term (what do I want to be doing next and how do I get there). The coaching session/s can help you clarify, and chart your path towards your ambitions - giving you a high chance of success.
4. Personality - Using an online Personal Profile Analysis, provided by Thomas International, I can understand your preferred ways of working. This includes whether you are suited to your current role, whether you would benefit from adapting your current role, how you deal with current issues and how you behave under pressure. This can be augmented with a deep dive into emotion management, personal resilience and the development of leadership traits.
