Welcome
HR, Training and Coaching is our background. We combine everything we know to create rounded managers and effective leaders.
Our passion is people and we know that most employees leave their managers not organisations. In a highly competitive market, it is now critical to have capable leaders and managers who are equipped with both hard and soft skills to successfully navigate the employment life cycle and retain employees.
We teach HR & Soft Skills, and Business Coaching. SME's often need ad hoc or regular support but not a full-time HR person and that's where we van help. We offer HR Consultancy to SME's and will help you navigate the legalese and people challenges which can be complex and tricky.
Our collective experience working at senior HR level, combined with coaching and training expertise means we can cover all angles and bring a very holistic approach to what we offer.
We work online and in-house and can attend client sites or a selected venue. We aim to tailor what we do to our client needs and use a results focussed approach.
Our preference is to develop strong relationships with clients in order to achieve lasting and sustainable outcomes.
HR / Soft Skills
We train managers and HR in all areas of HR including absence and performance management, conducting investigations, disciplinary meetings, appraisals and having difficult conversations. We focus on the technical and soft skills required to be effective in these areas and provide techniques that minimises the potential for conflict, emotional reactions as well as stress.

"Debbie is a great coach and it was a very enjoyable experience working with her. Our coaching time felt safe, fun and playful and we were able to explore new possibilities in a deep way that surprised me but also allowed me to set a new creative direction. I still use the skills that came into play during our coaching. Highly recommended! "
