ways to work together
For the organisation and the people making it work.
Consulting
for organisations
Strategic marketing, communications, and fundraising consultancy and practical support for charities, NGOs and purpose-led organisations.
You may need an experienced outside view before deciding what to do next. You may know the direction but lack the senior capacity to lead it. Or the strategy may be sound while the day-to-day work keeps slipping because the team simply has too much to do.
I offer four ways to get the level of thinking and support you need, from a focused review or project to an ongoing partnership.
Coaching and programmes
One-to-one coaching, Work by Design, and group programmes for people who want to work and lead with greater clarity and self-trust.
You might be leading a small organisation, responsible for fundraising or communications, or trying to work out what needs to change before you can keep moving forward. We will look at the patterns shaping how you work, what you have taken responsibility for and how you want work to fit into the rest of your life.
for people
Organisational challenges and leadership challenges do not arrive in separate boxes.
A CEO may bring me in because the charity needs a communications strategy, then realise she also needs a trusted place to think through priorities and lead the change. A head of communications may need practical capacity from my team while learning to stop treating every incoming request as equally urgent. A small organisation may need stronger marketing foundations and support for the person who has been holding them together without a proper function around them.
My consulting and coaching are informed by the same understanding of how purpose-led work gets done. If your organisation would benefit from both, I can shape the engagement accordingly.
When an organisation needs both
One-to-one coaching and professional development programmes can often be funded by an employer as part of leadership or professional development. If you want to explore that route, I can provide the information you need to discuss it internally.
A note on funding coaching:
Do you work internationally?
Yes. I have worked with people and organisations in the UK, India and around the world, including coaching clients in the DR Congo, US, France, Germany, Kenya and Canada. Location matters less than whether I am the right person for the work.
Can you combine consulting and coaching in one engagement?
Yes, where doing so would genuinely help. The scope will make clear what I am delivering for the organisation and what coaching support is included, so everyone knows how the engagement works.
Can my organisation pay for coaching?
Yes. Many people use an employer's learning, leadership or professional development budget. I can provide a proposal or supporting information for your manager if needed.
