A word from my clients

"Liz partners with the HR team to deliver tailored solutions to many of our individual, team and organisational development needs. She takes time to understand what’s really needed and works with our managers to ensure her interventions have real business benefit. She is great to work with and has a genuine passion for what she does."
HR Director, Global Pharmaceutical company, Liverpool.
"Liz helped me to bring a new cross-functional team together. She provided excellent support and guidance for an offsite team building day with the focus on working in a matrix. She facilitated the day with a fun and professional manner – ensuring difficult issues were faced and resolved and keeping us focused on the team goal."
Senior Virologist, Global Pharmaceutical company, Liverpool.
"I had the pleasure of working with Liz as a coach in the context of an internal leadership development program. Her personal approach and professional insights turned interpreting 360 degree feedback, and putting together a personal development plan, into a valuable, rewarding and hugely enjoyable experience."
Director of Toxicology, Global Biopharmaceutical company, Cambridge.

Leadership Development in a Global Biopharmaceutical company

Liz has been working with us for some time, supporting the Cambridge site through the design and delivery of a number of learning and development sessions and events. These include 1:1 coaching with a number of our leaders (including full 360 degree feedback as part of the process), team workshop facilitation and training course delivery for our core training portfolio. She is also working on our global leadership programme supporting delegates through development coaching. I elicit feedback from those people working with external providers and for Liz this is wholeheartedly positive, with people indicating that she provides valuable insights for teams and individuals through her work. I am pleased to be able to write this testimonial for her!

Associate Director, Human Resources.
