Staff

Our coaching and development services are focused on getting the best out of the talent working in universities and colleges. Coaching can be much more effective than training because it is driven by the individual being coached, rather than by the agenda of the trainer. This means that your workforce recognises what it does well, what it needs to develop, and through coaching and development will identify how to achieve goals and aspirations.

We coach individuals and teams to improve their performance. This can involve coaching senior leadership individuals, or working with academic teams or professional services teams. We specialise in developing emerging and aspiring leaders with protected characteristics, to support the development of leadership profiles that better represent the student body and the population.

We deliver tailored academic career development workshops for teams or groups in higher education, and workshops for Postgraduate Research Students focused on performance, writing, and wellbeing.

We also run academic writing retreats. Melanie has trained with Professor Rowena Murray and offers a version of her social processes approach to academic writing which benefits from the additional value of embedded coaching practice. Retreats can be held online or face-to-face, and bespoke retreats can be created for individual teams or institutions to meet your needs.

Please contact us to discuss your professional coaching, consulting or writing retreat requirements.
