DESIGN

I am experienced in collaborating with business leaders to explore their challenges with open minded curiosity, to design effective learning solutions.

 

Solutions can range from one-off short sessions to large, complex learning programmes, spanning months for large groups. 

 

Previous solutions include retention for returning parents, inclusion, well-being, leadership styles, impact, brand, delegation, having challenging conversations and managing change.

FACILITATION

My facilitation style encourages mindset and behavioural changes through challenge.

 

Specialisms include developing leaders as coaches, facilitating action learning sets and delivering experiential learning. 

 

I can facilitate alone or with others, in person, virtual or hybrid.

 

 

 

 

COACHING

Providing transformative 1:1 coaching for executives, often transitioning into new roles or identified with high potential or those experiencing challenges with confidence, impact or well-being.  

 

I enjoy group coaching as part of wider leadership development programmes, to embed learning and encourage peer feedback.

 

 

 

 

WHO I AM

People experience me as calm, thoughtful, reflective and authentic. My core values include kindness and compassion.  I'm interested in well-being and the positive effects of the natural environment.

 

I have held senior business partnering roles for over 15 years in retail, logistics, legal and professional services sectors before specialising in development and coaching during 6 years at one of the "Big 4" consultancy firms.

 

I am accredited through the European Mentoring & Coaching Council (EMCC). I can be found on EMCC directory here and on LinkedIn.

 

 

WHAT I DO

I coach Executives and senior leaders often as they encounter change and enter a period of a transition or uncertainty. 

 

The coaching is confidential, based on your self-identified goals and leading to the tangible outcomes you want to see. 

 

I will help you to identify the space between what you already know and what you want to discover about yourself, and how to move from where you are now to where you want to be.

 

At no charge, I encourage a 30-minute conversation to explore how suited we might be to work together.

 

 

HOW I WORK

I create supportive and judgement free spaces so you can step back from the day to day to explore what drives you, how your mindset varies in situations and how others might see your behaviours.  

 

We can connect to your purpose, work with your identify and your strengths,  embrace your authentic self, and celebrate what you have already achieved, and what else you are capable of.

 

I’ve been described as someone who “holds space for others to think and reflect in”. I do this through listening attentively, questioning from a place of curiosity and challenging in order to be thought provoking.

I found working with Ali of huge benefit to me and my career, at a point where I was unsure of my future due to a change in personal circumstances.

 

Her thoughtful, probing questioning made me think about the challenges and possibilities I was faced with in a way I hadn’t been able to before.”

As a new Director to the firm, I bought with me my ‘imposter syndrome’, my lack of confidence and an inability to know where to start building my network.

 

My time spent with Ali has empowered me to recognise my talents, balance work and home better and put in place my 12 month plan.”

 

Director, Big 4 accountancy firm

Ali has a great warmth that makes participants feel at ease and I never fear I can ask a question or share a personal experience, this allows the group to really open up and share – which enables us all to learn.”
