I set up People Solutions in 1996 having worked in people management for many years. I combine in-depth expertise in consulting and interim management, which means you benefit from both my specialist skill and ability to ‘hit the ground running’ and to deliver practical results.

My particular strengths are diagnosing people issues, designing and implementing effective solutions, and helping people to develop and change their own attitudes and behaviours – at an organisation or individual level – so as to achieve enduring change that is embedded into the structure and culture of your organisation.

I work with large and small companies as well as the public and not-for-profit sectors. I draw upon a pool of knowledge and understanding to determine what will work, and then use the most appropriate techniques to suit your specific situation.

For most assignments you will be working with me personally. Sometimes with your agreement I may also bring in colleagues from a trusted network of experts.

My own personal development has included a wide range of HR, training, and general business topics, Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), coaching, conflict resolution, and psychometrics such as OPQ and MBTI.

Clients typically describe me as:

• Flexible, reliable, pragmatic and efficient… ‘a safe pair of hands’

• Having a can-do approach and good at overcoming obstacles
This is crucial for getting things done and achieving results. I maintain focus on the outcomes as well as the process of achieving them

• Genuinely interested in others and easy to talk to
It is important that people involved feel comfortable with me – even when I challenge them (which I do!). It helps to speed up the communication, which means we get to the root of issues more quickly and are then in a better position to address them, saving you time, money and effort

• Politically sensitive and good at building relationships
I am keenly aware of the need to behave in a way that is appropriate to the circumstances and clients tell me that they feel confident in using me in sensitive situations

• Questioning and analytical, with a broad perspective
I am able to understand the perspectives of different stakeholders. I listen to employees at all levels and if appropriate collate this to give you a clear picture of the underlying issues without breaching their confidentiality.
