I’m a longstanding researcher into the use and abuse of power in the workplace. In parallel I work as a coach at all levels of organisations and across many sectors and geographies. My intention when working with individuals and groups is to help people find their voice and help those around them find their voice as well. This work is underpinned by a long running association with the Ashridge Doctorate and Masters in Organisational Change –that has seen me write with both faculty and students to unpick the taken-for-granted assumptions that lock them into acting in a particular way.

Most people pay too much attention to themselves and others as standalone individuals when trying to understand why some things get talked about and heard, while others don’t. To understand how truth does and doesn’t get spoken to power you have to pay attention to the relationship that exists between the more and less powerful – and wishful thinking that disappears differences in power is a sure-fire way to ensure truth doesn’t get spoken or heard.
