Without weeks of expensive consultancy.
Every leadership team is different, so I don't come with a fixed package. We start by talking about what's going on, then I design the work around your team.
I use facilitation, coaching and psychometric insight to help your team understand how each of you thinks, communicates and decides. Then we put that to work on the real decisions in front of you.
Change takes more than one day. So I work alongside teams over time, at a pace that suits you. That might be a single session to get unstuck, or regular sessions as your team grows and changes.
A complimentary 60-minute session for your leadership team. We explore why capable teams get stuck, and how different thinking styles shape the way you talk and decide. You'll leave with fresh insight and no obligation.
Facilitated sessions designed around what your team needs. Clearer conversations, faster decisions and less going round in circles. We can work together once, or over time.
For founders and senior leaders who want to grow their business and lead with confidence. If something is holding you back, I help you find it, move past it and take your business to the next level.
And for the women in your business who are ready for more. You can see it, and they don't believe it yet. They apologise before they speak, hold back their ideas in meetings and say yes to everything. I work with them one to one, so they see what you already see in them and step into the senior roles you need filled. Without faking confidence.
Today I focus on values-led food and drink businesses because I absolutely love them! The challenges they face are unique, and the sector itself has an amazing opportunity to improve health, wellbeing and sustainability while building commercially successful organisations.
My connection to the sector is personal. I've experienced the impact that thoughtful food choices can have on health and wellbeing, and I care deeply about supporting the businesses that are helping people live healthier lives.
Growth, purpose and commercial reality don't always pull the same way. Leadership teams still have to make difficult decisions without losing what matters.
Caroline was incredibly professional and knowledgeable. She really helped get the most out of all individuals in the room... I genuinely think this will help my team be more harmonious and make quicker decisions now we understand each other better!
Dr Kirsten Baron, NHS ConsultantMy main ‘aha’ moment was that there are so many different personality types... it’s no wonder that people struggle when we use only very limited types of formats (e.g. basic team meetings) to make decisions... it’s led me to start thinking about what other options are available and might be more constructive and effective for my teams... Caroline also made it a whole lot of fun!
Dr Laura Nicholson, Senior Clinical Psychologist, NHSI noticed I make decisions quickly and then want to swiftly act on them... I have always thought that ‘my way is the best way’ because I get things done, but I need to be more patient and accepting of others who will still get it done, just in a different way to me... I would wholeheartedly recommend it.
Jennie Clapp, Secondary School LeaderCaroline made it feel relaxed and informal, which made it much easier to be open and honest rather than feeling assessed or judged. In a team, I’d like to be more confident about speaking up rather than assuming the most vocal person has the better ideas.
KW, Social HousingFor more than 13 years, I've worked with leaders and teams to build self-awareness, strengthen relationships and make better decisions.
I've held leadership roles across the private, charity and education sectors. I now design and deliver leadership and coaching programmes for senior leaders at the University of Lancashire Business School.
I've also designed and taught accredited ILM and CMI coaching qualifications.
I use psychometric insight, including Myers-Briggs, as a starting point. It gives teams a shared language for how they think and decide, so they can use their differences instead of getting stuck in them.
When people understand each other, they make better use of the way each person thinks.
