Every project tells a story. Here are some of the organisations I’ve been proud to support on their people and leadership journey.
Working as the people projects director I completed a full diagnostic of the MindGym new joiner process and designed a comprehensive, interactive onboarding process.
Results:
Results showed increases in retention, speed to productivity and engagement scores of new joiners.
I also supported the cultural transition as they embedded their digital directorate into the core business. Through various interventions including listening sessions and focus groups, I surfaced key themes and supported directors in transitioning the teams into a ‘one MindGym’ mindset.
Working with their ethnic minority network group, I ran a series of roundtables to surface the lived experiences of ethnic minority employees. Run in a group coaching style, I created psychological safety for the group and enabled participants to open up and show their vulnerability in a safe space.
Results:
The feedback was overwhelmingly positive and enabled individuals to recognise what may be holding them back from being their authentic selves at work, and allowed the network chairs to articulate barriers that could be broken down by the organisation.
Inclusive Leaders Program – I delivered a series of workshops to Nomad’s non board directors across Europe. Using my cultural intelligence expertise I ran group coaching workshops on eg Inclusive Leadership and Inclusive Hiring.
Results:
These were a resounding success and have been embedded in their BAU L&D offer – I supported this through train-the-trainer delivery at the end of the project.
Performance Coaching – I worked with a number of teaching and non-teaching leaders at Harrow School on various different personal development goals.
Clients choose what they wish to bring to our coaching conversations- they focus on any number of issues, including handling difficult conversations, managing senior stakeholders, building self-belief, or leading inclusively.
Results:
Participants developed greater confidence and clarity in their leadership roles. They became more effective in handling difficult conversations, improved relationships with senior stakeholders, and strengthened their ability to lead inclusively.
Executive coaching – working with a number of senior consultants who were working towards promotion.
I use a variety of different tools in my coaching from Transactional Analysis, Cultural intelligence, Strengths Finder and others. I work with individuals in a way that is challenging yet supportive – always focussed on their coaching goals, and holding them to account when required.
I spent over 15 years of my career working across both Waitrose and John Lewis, in commercial and HR.
Here I garnered my strong leadership skills, started my coaching journey, and developed my HR specialism. I led teams across several disciplines, from Resourcing, Learning & Development, Diversity & Inclusion to Organisational Change.
“You’ve made a huge difference to hundreds of Partners directly and because of that your influence will reach thousands. Enjoy that, keep on following your instincts and experimenting.’ – ref an Inclusion event that I designed and executed” – Ex-Chairman – John Lewis Partnership
At Third Space I worked with the CEO and Ops Director to diagnose the people challenges that needed to be met in order for the group to realise their growth ambitions.
I worked with them to implement my recommendations, one of which was the appointment of a People Director.
“Anglie very quickly developed an insightful understanding of our business, and our requirements, such that she was quickly able to positively impact on our decision making. All round she has great experience, a sharp mind and an engaging personality – so a pleasure to work with” – Colin, CEO – Third Space
At Avery I designed and delivered a strategy which focused on Leadership development, employee engagement, talent development and culture.
“I’m grateful for working with Anglie, who seamlessly moves between being a consultant, coach and confidante to adapt to what you need when you need it. Anglie’s natural strength is her blend of sharp commercial awareness and compassionate HR knowledge. Her ability to ‘say what she sees’ in a way that doesn’t leave others feeling bruised is something that I will always remember. Anglie’s gift to us was the way she helped my SLT and me step back and create some space to really think.” – Nico Jean-Jean, MD – Avery Europe
I worked on a consulting project within the Group HR team – I designed an EVP, reviewed their resourcing practices, and worked with the team to improve their overall effectiveness. I also supported the design of an L&D offer focussed on sales, service and specialism.
