Leadership Support

I provide experienced advice and support to help you lead sustainability change.

You may know what needs to change, but making it happen inside an organisation can be much harder.

I bring more than twenty years' experience of leading sustainability and organisational change across complex organisations. Successfully guiding teams and leadership within high pressure environments, to embed change despite competing demands.

I work alongside sustainability leaders, senior executives and varied stakeholders to improve how they understand their context, navigate barriers, build influence and turn ambition into action on sustainability.

When this can help

Experienced advice and support to help you lead sustainability change.

You may be trying to:

build support for a sustainability strategy or programme
influence teams beyond your immediate responsibility
navigate competing priorities or organisational pressures
prepare for an important board, executive or leadership conversation
build alliances and bring people with you
work through a difficult sustainability or organisational change challenge

Sometimes you need an experienced perspective alongside you, as you work out what to do next.

Working alongside you

My support is tailored to what you and your organisation are trying to achieve.

It might be one-to-one support for a senior manager or sustainability lead, or targeted guidance for a particular challenge your facing, or outcome you are required to deliver.

I'll help you to understand and leverage your organisational context, relationships and barriers, prepare for important conversations or interventions, and turn ideas into practical action.

The aim isn't to tell you what to do. It is to help you lead the change with greater clarity, confidence and influence.

Practical experience of leading change from inside complex organisations.

I bring twenty years' experience of working with senior leaders, sustainability practitioners and teams facing competing organisational priorities.

That experience includes building alliances, influencing decision-makers, developing governance, bringing teams together and creating the conditions for sustainability to move beyond individual initiatives.

The support is grounded in having navigated these challenges and not simply advising from the outside.

THE THINKING BEHIND THE SUPPORT

Meaningful lasting change rarely happens through one intervention, although that can be a powerful catalyst if followed up upon.

Delivering the change you need to see, requires building an understanding of your organisation's sustainability journey and pinpointing what matters to it,

The Practice Cycle provides a way of thinking about that journey while allowing the support itself to remain completely tailored.
