“When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves”.

Viktor Frankl

From conflict zones to natural disasters to hypergrowth tech companies, and from military officer to academic researcher to corporate leader, I have spent my career working with people at the edges of their tolerance.

Of the many things that I have learned, the most important is that succeeding in extreme circumstances requires us to create change from the inside out.

For most of us, this is the hardest thing to do.

Our rapidly evolving times need courageous, resilient and adaptable change-makers who are ready to live and lead in new ways.

People with these qualities start out with curious minds. Then they find the right teachers.

I’m here to help…

Human Skills for our Evolving World

Services

Coaching & Mentoring

Training

Consultancy

I partner with businesses to review, identify, and address the people development needs and challenges that are creating barriers to productivity, innovation, retention, and wellbeing.

Solutions include training, mentoring and coaching, and strategic advisory services in; personal development, leadership development, behaviour change, relational skills, and team effectiveness. I also offer specialist services in health and wellbeing, and in inclusion and belonging.

My products and services are evidence-based, create measurable impact, and contribute to a healthy culture of learning, mutual support, and collective accountability. They will equip and empower your people towards the insights, actions and relationships that will shape a successful future; for them and for your business.

Why me?

I have almost 30 years of experience in helping people make the best of themselves, individually and in relationship with others.

I’ve served as a military officer (retired as Captain), a research psychologist, and a corporate leader in large complex organisations including BBC, Meta and TikTok.

I’m a Chartered Research & Teaching Psychologist and Associate Fellow of the British Psychological Society, and member of the Crisis, Disaster & Trauma section. 

Get in touch for a chat about what I can do for your people and your business.

And to keep life interesting, as a extension to my passion for working with humans I now work with other animals too: I own and run a private, licensed wildlife sanctuary from my home. My work in rehabilitating and caring for wild animals has a strong influence on the rest of my work, and life.

“I approached Jacqui because I’d just taken on a new team, and I wanted to create an environment of honesty, integrity and trust for us all. Jacqui helped me do this by interpreting what I needed and then facilitated a number of sessions…I would definitely recommend Jacqui if, like me, you are wanting to bring together individuals that complement and understand each other.”
