SPECIALISTS IN MAKING CHANGE HAPPEN…
Back
All of Bec Development’s coaches and trainers are carefully selected, experts in their field, passionate about what they do, and continually developing themselves in order to stay on top of the game.
Presentation training particularly with a storytelling element. I also deliver sales and negotiation training.
My style of training relies primarily on a combination of interactive exercises and facilitated discussion. The aim is not just to help trainees perform in the training room, but to give them a deep understanding of the principles covered in order that they can use them in any situation.
“Greg used ice breaking activities really well to get us all working together before we started telling our stories. The material and frameworks were really good and very applicable to our jobs.”- Storytelling attendee
Storytelling particularly in pitch and credentials meetings using my knowledge from script writing.
Media and creative agencies on both sides of the Atlantic. Also leading media owners and publishing houses in the UK.
Put simply it’s a buzz to see people improve their skills both inside and outside the training room. Each session is different and it’s fun to work with intelligent and creative people with different ideas and learning styles.
I am an experienced coach and facilitator with a strong business background. I have held line roles within large international organisations in talent management, finance and consulting.
I have a flexible, open and professional style. Strong understanding of the need to balance personal change/development with valued business outcomes. I try to flex my style to each type of personality I work with. This is to firstly build trust and the relationship. Also this helps the coachee feel at ease and in a position to openly discuss areas that are going to add insight and value to the sessions. I also maintain a professional approach at all times to keep the sessions structured and focused on valuable business and personal outcomes.
Inspiring change. Career management/career coaching, coaching on high performance behaviours, self awareness, flexing leadership style, influencing, motivation.
I feel it is a privilege to inspire change in others and I gain a deep sense of satisfaction in seeing people achieve their goals and aspirations.
I am a career development coach and maternity coach. I support individuals during their career lifecycle to develop their skills and confidence, understand their identity and motivations, using self reflective knowledge to facilitate change. I provide training and workshops in all aspects of career management and self development.
I bring my creative energy, intuition and lateral thinking to coaching. I use NLP and a range of approaches to capture values, refresh thinking patterns and stimulate personal growth. I encourage the use of metaphors to give meaning and connection to subconscious thoughts and generate deeper understanding. I support clients to bring together skills, strengths and talents to achieve greater career fulfillment and generate inspirational outcomes. I understand the juxtaposition inherent in having and wanting both a career and balance in life. I am passionate about maintaining confidence, visibility and career momentum during times of transition and managing a career with life changes.
Banking, corporate finance, insurance, legal, HR Consultancy
It is more than helping, listening and asking thought provoking questions – I love being a conduit. Coaching for me is akin to being a prism to reflect skills and brilliance, a switch for insight and understanding, and a channel for energy to live your career life, develop, progress and shine.
I coach leaders, managers and teams to achieve more for themselves and their organisations. I facilitate groups to achieve exceptional influence to get the results they want. I train leaders, train and supervise coaches and am also a Vice Chair for Association for Coaching, UK. In my spare time I write books!
I am compulsively curious, fascinated by how people behave and exploring how they think. I love to foster this curiosity in my clients to help them gain new insights and develop more choices. I work best when helping people to expand their capabilities, engage their passion and enjoy their work, and whilst exploring all of that, having fun! I am practical and pragmatic and like to engage people in practical and experiential, as well as reflective, learning. I delight in supporting others to make the sustainable changes they desire.
Over many years I have worked in both private and public sectors, including senior teams in the management consultancy sector, the National Health Service and business services. Most recently my clients have included a range of organisations in hospitality and leisure.
I am fascinated by people: how we think – consciously and unconsciously – and how we act, react and interact. It’s a privilege to work with people to help them gain new perspectives, change thinking and behaviour to expand their capacity for growth, success and fulfillment. And it’s fun!
I deliver management and leadership development programmes, write and facilitate team strategy/creativity days and provide coaching for middle managers. I also enable companies to navigate through the ambiguity of change by providing a clear framework for the future.
My style is refreshing as it poses questions, sparks debate and leaves clients with a very clear sense of direction and next steps. In particular my logical approach to change management programmes allows clients to gain clarity of process and outcome at a time when direction can seem ambiguous.
My area of specialism is presentation coaching, on a one to one or group basis. I concentrate on ‘storytelling’ and dealing with inner demons that can affect a presenter’s performance.
I have worked extensively within the creative sector, both public (University of the Arts London) and private sector (IPC Media).
I love to get to the real issue, whether that is with a team or an individual. I challenge convention and therefore enable teams/individuals to express themselves and move on.
I’m passionate about providing coaching support for all levels of an organisation. Coaching is not only for executives, everyone can benefit, so I try to be accessible to all. As a trainer, I work with Sales teams on all kinds of development, and with managers who are learning to be great bosses.
I use cognitive behavioural techniques and tools to help people unpick their thinking. I work hard to get to know my clients creating an environment that feels calm and secure, but also light hearted. I like to keep things moving and ensure that they remain focused on what they want to achieve. This approach is mirrored in the training I do. As a trainer I want people to enjoy the workshops I run, as well as learn something. Both approaches have served me well in the large change management projects on which I have worked.
My experience to date is with Media organsations, in Sales, Learning & Development and Change Management, but I am currently branching out independently into communications companies and the retail sector.
Mainly I love it because I get to delve into the nitty gritty of human behaviour which is my greatest interest, and I meet so many amazing people along the way who all seem to teach me something.
I provide practical creative thinking courses that help organisations be more creative, produce fabulous ideas and make money. I deliver human, emotive and exciting learning experiences that people consistently tell me have “changed the way I work”
My approach is all about easy innovation, simple insights and techniques that help you get to better ideas, more quickly. The accent is also on commercial creativity – how to have ideas that will boost revenues. I provide easy and interesting information that illuminates the creative process and we learn how to use the Idea Applications (Idea Apps) – simple tools that can be applied to any challenge, in order to generate relevant and deliverable innovation. People will be challenged to think differently and even behave differently in order to have awesome ideas My sessions are not like other sessions. We have great fun, because you have to have fun to create great ideas.
We focus on specific projects, relevant to your business – so we are having new and exciting ideas about stuff that really matters – to you.
I work mostly in the publishing and media world and my current clients include The Financial Times, IPC Media, Haymarket Publishing and Future Publishing.
I adore the energy, excitement and fun of working with a group of people to create ideas and helping them think in new and different ways. I love that the ideas we produce are not only new and fresh, but are also practical and so can be used straightaway, to make a difference to people and to businesses.
I specialise in the design and delivery of bespoke development activities aimed at enabling leaders and teams achieve superior performance. I am an experienced facilitator whose aim is to energise and support sustainable change.
“This course helped mostly to find and understand mistakes I make in communicating with people. Sheila was incredible in getting to the core of my personality and elaborated on what needs to be done to effectively communicate in the day-to-day job.”- Attendee from Ebiquity
My background is in HR and Organisational change. My passion is to work with clients and understand their challenges in order to design interventions that give them the opportunity to explore their issues and develop responses that fit for them. I firmly believe in lifelong learning and seek to support clients in both incremental and transformational change.
I am an OD specialist qualified to use the organisational cultural inventory assessment, enabling the measurement of organisational culture, climate, and effectiveness and identifies levers for change. This analysis enables me to work with organisations to develop strategies focussed on building high performance cultures.
I have extensive experience in the financial, aviation, government, publishing and pharmaceutical sectors.
I enjoy working on complex and challenging situations and my satisfaction comes from seeing teams and individuals make a difference to the performance of their organisations. My aim is for people to realise their full potential and continue to grow and learn through their careers.
I show people how to write well when they don’t know where to start. I carry out group training and one-to-one sessions in business writing skills, with feedback based on clients’ work. I help clients to make writing choices that build careers, brands and business.
Change your writing and you change your world. Writing is a direct link from our minds to the outside world, a reflection of who we are. Even in business, writing is personal. Are we dynamic and clear? Or passive and muddled? Good writing is a powerful skill in our business toolbox. It’s far more than a set of grammar and punctuation rules. It’s a process we can learn and use repeatedly. My style is fun and practical, full of exercises that cover various types of documents: my aim is to build confidence and take away the fear of writing.
My style is holistic, approaching writing as a process that covers the following:
Media is my key area, working with most major UK magazine publishers. I’ve also trained people working in the finance sector, for public bodies and professional institutions.
Writing is the great connector, helping to form governments, rally causes, and create world-class brands. Soldiers even read Jane Austen as therapy in the trenches of WWI. How fabulous is that? We define our thoughts, laws and values in words. Great writing can achieve anything. What’s not to love?
I offer one to one coaching to release the potential in creative thinkers. I help you resolve problems and build on your strengths so you can leap forward in your career.
Today’s jobs are stress filled, deadline driven and an exciting ride if you can hang on. It’s difficult to focus on your own performance or improve your ability because there is never enough time. That’s where a turbo boost from a coach can help.
“This course bought clarity and a framework to what seems like a common sense approach to communication but is often overlooked. It was thought provoking and made me think about how I present myself. A very enjoyable and professional course, thanks!”- Attendee from Carbon Trust
I can help you eliminate the things that you keep batting away; things that cause you doubts, issues managing up or managing your team, things that gobble your time. A coaching session is a hothouse for new ideas, new ways to do things, ways to change the game with your team, your career or your clients.
Often called executive coaching, my style of coaching isn’t limited to people with executive titles and isn’t in front of the rest of the team. It is individual coaching, one to one, related to your work or work/life balance. Together we’ll build on your success, look at ways of maximizing your potential and help you stay at the top of your game. I have a post grad Diploma in Coaching and am certified in Myers Briggs.
Most of my clients are in the broadcast and advertising industries. A few of the clients I currently work with are Channel 4, UKTV, M&C Saatchi, OgilvyOne, Kamarama, Red Brick Road, Channel Five and Nickelodeon
I worked in the broadcast and advertising industries for over 20 years. I’ve held front line jobs, had budget responsibility and managed extensive teams. I started my own business as an executive coach when I realized that coaching was my favourite part of my job. The chance to work with creative thinkers and release their potential is a real privilege.
I am an experienced trainer, facilitator and coach with over 20 years in the field of learning and development. I am passionate about coaching, learning to self-coach and I live the techniques that I share with my clients.
Any event facilitated by me will include an element of self-coaching. I have a degree in psychology and am qualified to use an array of psychometric tools.
Working with me is high energy, high impact and good fun! I have enjoyed career success across a range of fields including retailing and manufacturing as well as public sector organisations. I am a real person with real scars who inspires my clients to think differently about how they approach everyday situations. I offer pragmatic tools that can be readily practiced and used when appropriate.
I specialise in helping individuals, teams and organisations to identify specific tools and techniques that they can use on a daily basis to rapidly accelerate the rate at which they achieve their goals. I also have great experience in working with organisations to develop and embed their values and culture.
Originally, working with senior leaders of food companies, I have worked across a range of organisations in different sectors. These include MPs, elite athletes, charities and public sector organisations as well as FTSE 500 clients.
Why I love what I do?
I have fun and engage with people! I see my main aim with clients as motivating and supporting them in making changes in their behaviour that will improve their professional lives. It’s great when people choose to change the way that they do things to get better results for themselves and their organisation.
I’m an executive coach and people development consultant working with organisations at all levels, with both individuals and teams. I’m a leadership coach, skilled at enabling professionals to achieve their full potential both in personal development and business performance.

I really do love what I do. I have accomplished many things in a varied and interesting career and working with people is the thing I enjoy most. I value working in partnership with my clients to enable them to make real changes.
I develop personal and professional high performance programs. In essence I enable people to consistently function at their best day to day – to achieve Everyday Excellence.
I have developed innovative ways to help people better understand the nature of their human ‘system’ – how it functions and thus how to manage themselves more effectively. As a former international athlete (Great Britain Rowing Team) and coach to World Championship Medallists, I value and build on the similarity between the ingredients necessary for success in sport and those which allow for optimal performance and fulfilment in our personal and professional lives.
In the coaching space, one of my key strengths is helping clients to recognise and achieve their potential, through breaking down limiting patterns and beliefs.I achieve positive lasting results by utilising my experience as an athlete and coach in high level sport, and this is underpinned by my professional qualifications and experience in Leadership, Cognitive Behavioural Coaching, NLP and EFT.
I have worked with people from all ages and walks of life, both in personal and professional environments. My experience with individuals extends from schoolchildren and those struggling to find direction to World Champion athletes and top performing business professionals. My business clients include recruitment companies, sports teams, schools, financial institutions, training companies and healthcare providers.
I love seeing that the work I do makes a lasting positive influence on people’s lives. It is incredibly rewarding to see that the coaching, and tools I give people, enable them to be the best they can be – not only in their professional space, but also in their personal lives. I am a strong believer in the ripple effect – our own ‘state’ of being directly affects the world around us, so it excites me that every person I positively influence will then in turn have a positive effect on those around them.
I’m a specialist in communication as a business skill and specifically the use of web and social media to reach audiences. I run my own consultancy and am also a blogger and author in my own right. Books I have co-authored include Information Overload, published by Wiley and Money Fight Club from Harriman House.
I create and deliver upbeat, interactive sessions and workshops designed to get people thinking differently about the way they communicate with audiences and how they evaluate what they want to say.
I give people a practical, user-friendly introduction to tools and methodologies designed to make the creation and deployment of key messages and other content easier for inhouse teams.
At its heart, what I do is facilitate productive exploration of how teams, departments and whole organisations function and present themselves and how that maps back to an organisation’s essential character and appetite for change.
Only one – sending people out of a session with a song in their hearts and a list of communication and messaging ‘to dos’ they can’t wait to crack on with.
I have worked with large corporates, small start ups, third sector and charities and across a variety of service and product offerings, digital inititives, launches, revamps and projects, ranging in size from huge and scary to tiny and cunningly impactful.
Engaging communication with audiences is the in-breath and out-breath of vibrant organisations. Showing people how to communicate more deeply and effectively makes me sigh with happiness.
I’m a HR consultant providing independent, smart and expert HR direction and support, delivering positive and tangible results when time and decisiveness are of the essence to businesses with or without an HR presence.
