Leadership Transitions

— Good leadership and highly successful businesses go hand in hand

You’ve landed on this page because you know it takes good leadership to have a highly successful business.

And you recognise that even the best people benefit from a hand along the way. Management isn’t all nature. It’s nurture too.

You also know that your people are your unique asset. You’ve made a significant investment in hiring the best and to stay top of the game, your people need to continue to learn and grow. It’s your leaders and managers that will enable this difference.

Have you given them the tools to ensure you get a return on your investment hiring people?

One-to-one coaching

Do you want confident and resilient people who can lead through even the most turbulent of times? Do you want influential leaders who can make and follow through on tough decisions? Leaders who can inspire brilliance? And loyalty?

One-to-one coaching is a unique and deeply personal experience that unlocks the ability to achieve all this. It helps leaders get out of their own way, to be challenged in a safe environment and to change unhelpful behaviours. A must have for anyone wanting to push their business to the next level.

Manager Training

Management isn’t easy. It takes understanding, consideration, negotiation. It requires a fine balance of empathy of people and business acumen. It requires leadership, the ability to make tough decisions and an ease of communication. It’s dealing with people. Yet people aren’t always straight forward.

This course gives your managers the tools and confidence to manage; to get people performing at their best.

Testimonials - Business

Alice was keen to understand the people that drive our business forward and our business values to create a bespoke management training which was absolutely aligned to Baldwins Travel Group. It was exceptional and we've seen truly tangible results.


— Laura C, HR Manager

I found my coaching with Alice to be reflective, interesting and energising. Alice was very good at drawing useful insights from my sometimes rambling reflections that enabled me to make small changes to some of my habits and routines that I still use and hope will have a disproportionate effect on my desired outcomes. I would heartily recommend her to anyone.


— Jamie M, Head of Finance

Alice has been fantastic to work with.  She’s brought her knowledge, expertise, phenomenal organisational brain as well as her empathy and understanding to Sipsmith.  She put together a thought-provoking and ‘real’ programme for our managers and she was able to coach and facilitate to many different levels of leader.  We’re looking forward having her back for more!


— Georgie, HR Director

Alice is one of those rare individuals who understands the world we work in and how to impact business quickly. I couldn’t recommend her highly enough if you need an exceptional person to help your business grow through the people that you employ.


— Richard T, Managing Director

Alice has an ability to make you feel safe and comfortable while also asking those questions that make you dig deep and challenge your thinking patterns and perceptions. My approach to Board meetings has shifted in a positive way and I’m starting to undo outdated thinking and beliefs.


— Julia A, Head of People Development

I love and value our coaching time together; you are perceptive, kind, and challenging in the most supportive way. How wonderful it is to see small tweaks have such a positive transformation on my leadership impact. I’ve learnt so much in a short time. Thank you.


— Shelley M, Global Brand Leader

Alice’s creative approach shone through and, particularly for a technology company, this led to meaningful conversations and embedded learnings. It’s not often that you hear colleagues discussing topics raised in the training weeks later.
