I am a specialist in Performance and Executive Coaching. My goal is simple - to enable individuals and teams to be the best version of themselves, delivering measurable value to you and your organisation.
I work in partnership to create optimum conditions for learning and enabling change.
Aligning with your organisations vision and values with a focus on sustained change and delivering business results, ensuring value for investment.
Underpinning learning with a “brain-friendly” scientific approach, working together to nourish a safe environment for great thinking.
Harnessing potential through intention and direction of energy. Using your creativity to generate fresh ideas.
My connected approach draws on global business experience, professional CPD particularly in the emerging field of neuroscience and neuro-leadership, and a proven track record as a coach, consultant and facilitator. With over 20 years of professional experience in industry (primarily healthcare and technology) I have held scientific, technical and leadership roles and have a grasp of the issues associated with creating effective business environments.
I appreciate the inherent value of developing leaders to be the best version of themselves in order to thrive in environments of constant change.
I bring great energy to assist organisations to define, develop and deliver Leadership / Manager Development Programmes. You can expect positive changes in attitude, mind-set, and team relations.
I work with teams to create optimum conditions for high performance. My wide perspective ensures that any programme delivered is specifically done so with the broader objectives of the organisation in mind.
I am an expert facilitator. We learn best when we are enjoying what we do, so there is an element of fun to my workshops.
I have a keen interest in Innovation, Wellbeing, Resilience and Change.
My approach is driven by a fundamental belief that everyone is inherently capable of personal growth. From a foundation in the emerging field of neuroscience and neuro-leadership, I adeptly apply an understanding of the brain to enable clients and ultimately deliver value.
A ‘scientist with heart’, I excel in creating a safe environment and developing trust. I believe in the enormous potential this ‘safe place’ has for the forever plastic brain to think and connect, free of fear.
I have delivered transformational results at different levels and sectors. Of note is how my neuroscience approach can explain why and how coaching works; It can enlighten clients across sectors and levels.
I have worked with Helen since 2015 and in that time she has supported us in developing our succession strategy and coaching our future leaders.
The results we achieved have exceeded our expectations and I would have no hesitation at all in recommending Helen to organisations looking to develop their leadership capability.
Fraser Allan, Director Risk & Compliance, CBES
Helen is an outstanding coach. She has a real grasp of the issues associated with global business environments. Her engaging style, results driven attitude and SME knowledge means she would be a great “fit” for any org wishing to contract with her.
Paul Cowan, Director, Global Organisational Development, Dell
I find Helen an outstanding coach. She has an engaging and persistent style, which has helped me considerably to generate results in a complex global business environment. Her coaching ability and business experience enable her to relate to the context and challenges of my role, and coach for long term behavioural change. I would not hesitate to recommend Helen to others in senior leadership roles.
Managing Director, Alere Technologies
Helen had a fantastic way of connecting immediately with me and engendering an atmosphere of trust and safety which facilitated frank discussion from the outset. This was vital to the overall success of our programme. Helen’s obvious interest in how the brain works provided for me a fascinating backdrop to the programme. Helen adapted her style and methodologies to fit with my needs throughout the programme. Results exceeded expectations – coaching has resulted in permanent change, which has transformed the way I work with my team and as a manager.
Global Brand Manager, SPD
Helen provided executive coaching to me during the run-up to the London 2012 Olympic Games.
She greatly helped me clarify my ambitions for the future in an environment that was safe, trusting and supportive. This was the foundation for discussions that were personally challenging however have proven to be invaluable since then.
I thoroughly recommend Helen's executive coaching skills and approach.
Tony Wilson, General Manager, Used Cars & Internal Sales, BMW UK
To be totally truthful, I thought this was going to be a complete waste of time. I knew nothing about Coaching and was arrogant enough not to even want to know. Touchy, feely old rubbish. I now have some insight into the leadership concept; with the little I know I am very enthusiastic. Being able to see the future, having insight into long standing problems in minutes just by looking at them differently – fantastic, magic even.
