I work with you on a one-to-one basis for an agreed number of sessions of two to three hours each. The content is based on the programmes you see below and tailored to exactly suit your needs and goals. Timings are entirely flexible.

I usually meet clients at a neutral venue in central London as it is important to get away from the pressures of your workplace. Alternatively, we can meet in Brighton or at a mutually convenient venue elsewhere.

Whichever option you choose you'll find my approach is warm, open and supportive. However, that doesn't mean I take any prisoners!

I believe you've come to me for a result and I will use my experience, perception and knowledge to help you identify aspects of your presentation and approach that can be enhanced to benefit your career. Many of my clients find these improvements spilling over into their personal lives too.

The programmes

The First 100 Days

This programme is designed to help you hit the ground running in a new senior post, whether you're a seasoned executive or a first-timer. It will equip you to meet the challenges of handling and understanding new people, paperwork and politics by helping you prepare beforehand and through ongoing support during the first 100 days.

Structure: four sessions of two hours over three months, plus telephone support.

Perfect Match - interviews and CVs

Using a combination of role-play, critique, observation, feedback and personal experiences, these sessions boost your confidence and give you the emotional and practical support you need before a big interview.  We will focus on the assessment centre and panel interview processes commonly used in both the public and private sectors. To get the best out of you, each session is designed to be both challenging and supportive and covers things that cause apprehension in interviews. 

Structure: one or two stand-alone, half-day sessions of 3½ hours.

Personal Impact

This programme will help increase your impact with the Board, your colleagues and the public by building your own personal brand, rescuing lost confidence, polishing your presentation skills and enhancing your professional image. It can give you a much greater awareness of your attitudes, perceptions and behaviour, as well as address and improve all aspects of your communication style, both verbal and non-verbal.

Structure: four sessions of two hours over 8-12 weeks.

Career Crossroads

In these sessions we'll take stock of where you are now in your career and where you'd like to be. Using tools such as psychometric testing we can assess your skills and abilities, in relation to your wants and needs, to help identify new career possibilities or ways to extend your existing repertoire. We will also look at updating your CV and developing your networking skills.

Structure: four sessions of two hours over 8-12 weeks or on demand
