Elevating a brand for sustained business growth

They needed visually appealing brochures and adaptable adverts for both print and digital media to attract clients and professional partners.

Working closely with the team I was able to really get under the skin of the organisation and understand their ethos. My client gained a professional, scalable suite of marketing materials aligned with their brand values.

The company now has a robust toolkit for brand recognition and ongoing outreach.

The Coaches' Project Manager
What was the Client’s Objective?
The coaching space is fairly competitive right now, so it’s important that while you are delivering top-quality service during your coaching sessions, someone is managing the behind-the-scenes details to keep it all running smoothly.
What Action Did I Take?
In working with the Henley Coaching Partnership, I liaised closely with the coaching delivery team and their clients to ensure that the results of psychometric tests were always ready and available in time for discussion. I managed the planning and coordination of in-person events so that they ran like clockwork, from booking the venue and speaker to selling tickets, liaising with caterers and welcoming guests on the day.
In partnership with People Skills Business, the complexities of managing virtual teams of coaches and participants all across the world required communicating sensitively in order to navigate multicultural differences and bring teams together in a cohesive manner. Working across multiple time zones requires the highest attention to detail – and a lot of patience!

The smallest details make people feel appreciated, and this is critical in a people-oriented service like coaching. Whether it’s ensuring that delegates’ name badges are correctly spelt or remembering individual details your clients have shared with me, making them feel valued reflects well on your business.
