Sometimes a different perspective is needed; someone with a fresh pair of eyes who can draw on their experience to shine a light constructively on what needs to be in place to better enable success.
I specialise in helping organisations to:
- grow the capability of their leaders.
- align their people strategy with their organisational strategy.
- deliver complex transformation, including cultural change.
- navigate their way through complex problems.
- align their organisational values to how they tackle challenges and enable the right, not the easy, decision to be made.
- make teams more than the sum of their parts.
Who would this suit?
- You are facing a challenge(s) and would value a different perspective. I offer support and challenge to organisations, helping to navigate their way forward. This can be through assisting with an honest diagnosis of the cause of the problem; boiling down the options for the way forward; through to leadership development interventions and team coaching.
- I strive to add value; I won’t just play back what you already know or want to hear – this is about identifying what needs to be happen to enable real change, including potentially why it hasn’t to date.

Her leadership of which was characterised by her exceptional listening ability coupled with her great intellect and the way she provided genuine supportive and constructive challenge, enabling difficult problems to be confronted. Jill is a highly personable and courageous leader, able to deliver in the face of intense resistance and never shying away from difficult problems and decisions.

Jill developed some tailored sessions for our emerging talent about ‘how to hold your own when you feel like the odd one out’. Feedback from participants described the sessions as extremely thought-provoking and helpful. They particularly enjoyed the way it was practical, discussing real-world examples and scenarios, as it brought the discussion to life.
