    Posted on

    Everyone’s at it! From your favourite sports star, award-winning actress, to your favourite soap star or most-listened-to musician. In fact I'd take a bet that your former boss and the business leaders you most admire are all doing it too!

    Doing what?
    I'd take a bet that they are all having coaching or mentoring sessions, to improve their game, whatever their game is. 

    As leaders in their fields, they know they need to stay ahead of the crowd. Coaching helps them do this, and it will help you do the same! 

    In this blog I share with you my 7 ways in which coaching will help your career and much more: 

  2. We've become the first CPD accredited UK HR consultants' programme!

    Posted on

    1st and only UK accredited HR Consultant programme

    Do you know what CPD stands for?

    As an HR professional, you will either be a member of the CIPD or have attended training workshops or events with them. They are the good standards mark for HR, well-being and people related industry. Being a member shows you invest in your future, keep up to date with the latest developments in your field of expertise and are focus driven to continuous learn and develop, to be the best that you can be.  

    We believe that our Bootcamp Plus and Bootcamp Flex fit perfectly into the above, and therefore we applied to the CPD Standards Office to be accredited.  

    I’m delighted to say that this week we have received official notification that our Bootcamps are now CPD accredited. This is a huge achievement for everyone involved.  This truly demonstrates that we provide training you can trust. 

    I am also honoured to report that we are also the very first HR consulting programme in the UK to be awarded this accreditation.

  4. Celebrating the first anniversary of ‘Leap into HR Consulting: How to Move Successfully from Corporate to Consulting’ book

    Posted on

    2When I decided to self-publish my book ‘Leap into HR Consulting: How to Move Successfully from Corporate to Consulting’ just a year ago on 5th November 2020 I really hoped it would be favourably received, as it truly came from my heart. I had been drawn to writing it so that could help others follow their dreams and transform from being an employee to having their own consulting business.

    I could hardly believe it when it soon went to Number 1 on the Amazon Business Consulting Book List, where it continues even a year later to dip in and out of the hot seat. To top it off, it was then announced as a finalist in the Most Inspirational HR Business Book in the Book Awards 2021.

  5. New Partnership with Menopause Experts announced during Menopause Awareness Month

    Posted on

    Leap into and Menopause Experts partnershipI’m so excited to announce that I have been appointed to the Panel of Experts by Menopause Experts. My Leap into HR Consulting programme has also become a partner of the social enterprise. It’s been made that bit more special because October is Menopause Awareness Month.

    It shouldn’t be an awareness month though. I believe that it’s a topic we should be talking about often. During the pandemic especially I helped lots of people set up their own consulting businesses, many of them being women trying to manage menopausal symptoms as well as managing a fulfilling and rewarding career.
