Dorothy has consulted widely across sectors in the UK and Europe including the finance, insurance, pharmaceutical, professional and education sectors.

Dorothy began coaching early in her career, both as a coach to leaders participating in leadership development programmes and as a coach and mentor to professional colleagues. In 2004 she completed a professional coach training certified by the International Coaching Federation and now places Executive Coaching at the centre of her work.

Dorothy works with high-potential leaders – from first-time leaders through to directors – who are interested to release their own potential and that of the organisation they manage. Typically Dorothy helps clients to:

· Establish a clear vision, overall direction and concrete goals for self, team or organisation;
· Build the climate for high personal, team or organisational performance;
· Create a unique success recipe for their own personal and leadership effectiveness;
· Create improved strategies for intra- and interpersonal communication;
· Develop and implement strategies for sustained high performance.

Dorothy begins by helping clients to establish clear goals for coaching and to support them as they take steps to realise their goals. Like gardening or exercise, Executive Coaching yields its best results when the investment in coaching is regular and Dorothy typically meets with clients for an hour a week or fortnight over a three-, six- or twelve-month period. Her clients highlight the way she balances challenge with support to create the climate in coaching for accelerated progress and results. Occasionally, Dorothy uses 360 degree and competency feedback to support coaching and is certified to use the Hay Group Emotional Competence Inventory (ECI).
