Summary
My mission is to work with you as a business or an individual to help you to design your better tomorrow. Through coaching, mentoring, leadership and team development, business transformation or project management, I can help you to identify your goals and deliver the successful outcome you are looking for.
My background is in the media, having previously been the Editor of The Yorkshire Post, Yorkshire Evening Post and Sheffield Star. My expertise is in developing strategies to help organisations manage the complex world of change.
I am a Level 7 qualified executive coach with the Institute of Learning and Management, a qualified project manager and fully trained change management practitioner. So, not only can I help to guide you through any level of change you want to bring about, I can coach, support and mentor people along the journey of change, self development or career progression.
I love to see people succeed, either personally or profesionally in their business, which is why I offer my services pro bono to people who want to try out coaching or mentoring for the first time.
My website chrysalistransformations.co.uk tells you about how I work.
Please feel free to make contact with me and we can meet for a chat.
