Training Philosophy
PR teams are under increasing pressure. Tough times can strain team dynamics and impact results. To counter this, I believe it is valuable for teams to take time together to focus on collaboration, shared purpose and approaches to problem solving. As every team is unique, I design bespoke sessions that encourage open, honest, and curious discussion, helping teams decide their best path forward.
Specialisations
I specialise in helping leaders and teams see the wood from the trees! I’m confident to encourage people to dig deeper to understand what’s really happening in their teams. I also bring deep experience of policy, public affairs and communications, and know how they interact with wider strategic priorities in organisations.
