Pauline Willis CPsychol

Pauline specialises in delivering programmes that link individual performance and potential with the achievement of strategic organisational objectives. She does this by aligning change programmes with core business objectives and supporting key individuals within the organisation to successfully negotiate the change process. Knowledge and skills transfer to individuals within the client organisation leads to sustained growth and change without creating a dependency on external consultancy support.

Pauline delivers a range of business psychology services including the provision of tailored, client focussed coaching and mentoring programmes. The design, implementation and evaluation of coaching and mentoring practice is currently Pauline's core area of professional interest.

Coaching clients are predominantly executives, leaders or 'high potentials'  working within large blue chip companies. A number of Paulines clients are leaders of strategic organisational change who are themselves acquiring advanced coaching or mentoring competence.

Pauline also works with a small number of self funded personal coaching clients. These are all people who have the courage to invest in significant work/life change. In 2002/2003 Pauline worked with 'Ruth', a personal coaching client on behalf of the BBC Radio 4 programme Nice Work as part of a media experiment to test the effectiveness of coaching as 'stressbusting' strategy

With a strong professional background in business psychology and consulting with 14 years experience spanning a range of industries including health, energy, electronics and information technology both in Australia and the UK, Pauline possesses the expertise and breadth of experience to support individuals and organisations to achieve maximum potential.
