Over my career I have worked with thousands of leaders across the world helping them build their capacity and capability to bring the best of themselves into all that they do. Supporting and guiding others in their development and growth is an honour and a privilege. I love working with organisations and individuals who are actively curious about evolving and developing themselves with purpose and an enduring ethical commitment to contribute positively to society.
I take a human whole systems perspective and am passionate about supporting others to bring about healthy and sustainable change. Over the years I’ve had a range of organisational development roles in energy, finance, and economic development, was a senior lead partner in a global development consultancy and then as I approached my 50th birthday I took one of the many intuitive leaps in my life and Novo Leadership Development was born. Its been a refreshing and invigorating journey working with super clients, in some fabulous locations. Novo continues to evolve and thrive. I am so grateful I listened to the nudge, faced the fear and took the leap. How well do you listen and pay attention to your nudges?
Over the decades my practice has matured and continues to evolve as I regularly invest in my own professional and personal development. Engaging all perspectives, dealing with challenges, and complex problems is at the heart of my practice. I facilitate the discovery and embracing of issues needing attention, honouring and appreciating what is and actively supporting what emerges. I have a deep curiosity and a passion for releasing potential in individuals, teams, and organisations to ensure they can successfully navigate the challenges of today’s world and fulfil their purpose, thrive and flourish.
Whilst I still work internationally, I returned to take root in Scotland, weave the many threads of my practice together and live a more rural life with my horses, dog, chickens and a few very friendly sheep. During the development days I host here the equine members of my team often provide special light bulb moments for participants in their own unique way.
I work in partnership with all my clients recognising that your context and needs are unique. I approach every relationship with openness and a sense of curiosity that allows me to help you get to the core of what you need.
It’s important to me that I work with people who are open minded and curious, and who are committed to developing their teams, organisations or growing themselves. Expertise, approach, style, fit and chemistry are all important with this type of work. That is why there’s no option to book directly on my website. Before we work together, we’ll meet over the phone, on screen or in person to get to know each other, discuss the specifics of what you are looking for and explore those together.
I am a firm believer in nature being one of the best settings to s
support our creativity, as well as our mental health and wellbeing. Breaking free from screens, desks and technology helps us tap into our own resourcefulness and potential.
Novo grow specialises in retreats and events that draw on our place in the natural world. Looking to breathe new air into your growth and development? Take a look at our events page.
