Our Team

Anne Stratton

There has never been a more important time to address work and life challenges. I know that having a business partner with a fresh pair of eyes can really help define the right course of development.
When you work with me, my values of authenticity, optimism and curiosity will really shine through. My focus on practical results will mean that I’ll typically work with you in the following ways:

First and foremost, I’ll be positive, then inquisitive to help determine what prevents you or your team from moving forward. I love questions and conversations that look at situations from different perspectives. We’ll build a trusted partnership & share stories, philosophies or theories. I’ll definitely help you describe your goals, decide what’s important and define guiding principles.
My curiosity means I will want to help you find or create solutions to make a difference. Because I believe in POPs (the Potential Of People and the Power Of Possibilities!) I'll focus on the best in people and be open minded. I’ll encourage you to think about changes that are in your - or your team’s gift - and focus on solutions within your circle of influence.
I’ll also be challenging when you define ideas and actions – purely with the intention of testing how they’ll help you reach your goal. I believe that easy micro actions can often be the quickest, easiest and most fun way to form new habits (but big ‘golden strides’ can bring great rewards too)!
I’ll test how committed you are to your commitments and ask what it will take you to be even more committed! I can check in on your ambitions, encouraging you never to quit on yourself; or to check in on your leadership, encouraging you never to quit on your team.

How do people say I do this - with laughter and lightness, with genuine and positive encouragement and with a sincere interest in you and your progress & success. I’ve been described before now as the CHO - ‘Chief Happiness Officer’ – so let’s have fun and a conversation for possibilities!

I’ve also built long-standing friendships with people who I love to work with. Together, we can partner with you to consult, create and collaborate in a way that brings diversity of thinking, specialisms and delivery styles.

My aim is to add real value to the people and organisations that I work with and research shows us that by focusing on optimising our strengths and using positive strategies to manage any performance risks, we can deliver results more effectively.

I adopt a pragmatic solutions based approach and my aim to add real value in the people, teams and organisations that I work with.

I focus on supporting people in motion. A strong personality can achieve a lot, a strong team even more. With powerful tools for mental and organisational change, I support people and organisations to develop the best possible performance together and to create the best possible blueprint for a successful future.

Designing feasible steps for a strong and motivated team is an essential part of this. My approach is systemically psychological, pragmatically solution-oriented, appreciative and with a smile.

My experience is based on many years of working with CEOs as well as small and large organisations, profit and non-profit.

Geoff Steele

With over 18 years’ experience as a consultant, I have a proven track record in leadership and organisational development. I facilitate events for senior leaders to explore how they can best work together or enable change at individual, team & organisational levels.

Coaching at executive and middle management forms a key part of what I do and my approach is about high support combined with high challenge balanced in equal measure.

You can count on me to be curious and enquiring to explore how you can be the best leader you can be.

And Breathe!

Maybe not what you expected on a website promoting learning and development, but here’s the connection….

My experience tells me that coaching conversations are so much better when you’re relaxed and happy! Of course, we can meet virtually on a video call, or in person at a location near you where you feel relaxed. Or, why not come for a break away and have a few conversations enjoying the view or taking a breath of fresh air! We live in the beautiful Corvedale, near Ludlow in the South Shropshire Hills and have just converted a stone barn into a cosy retreat. Go on! Treat yourself!
