My approach to coaching:

Experience in working with MBA students

 

Whilst still acting in a tutor role, Sally taught for an academic year on the University of Readings' Executive MBA programme and was also involved in delivering HR sessions on the Ashridge MBA programmes.

At Ashridge she was the prime mover in creating the Outdoor Learning Environment (OLE) at Ashridge in the 1990's, which followed on from a year's project into Outdoor Management Development. The OLE was established as a very important additional learning experience in their MBA offering.

Since focusing entirely on coaching in recent years, she has worked as a coach with numerous individuals attending the full range of Ashridge MBA and leadership programmes.

​

Some comments from Sally's clients:

​

"Sally was very helpful in terms of providing space for personal reflection, in a warm but very professional manner. I found her style conducive to self-exploration."

 

"Sally strikes just the right balance between support and challenge, she is very skilled in assisting managers to 'take stock' of who they are, clarify what they want and identify the motivation and means to meaningful progress."

​

"Sally helped me understand my personality and see clearly what I can and like to do, and she gave me the courage to go for what I really wanted."

​

"I particularly benefited from her advice around Appreciative Inquiry, a technique which was completely new to me when we met. Since then I have used it to great effect in tackling complex issues around team selection and involvement."
