Case Studies
In addition to coaching, here are some of examples of the other things my clients ask me to help with.
360 Feedback for leadership development - collecting and sharing feedback to support the development of senior leaders in a company that has gone from startup to one of the UK’s biggest energy suppliers in only a few short years.
“Rich has done a significant amount of work across our leadership team and has taken time to get to know our business which means leadership development conversations are more specific and more impactful. Rich has a thoughtful, considerate coaching style, which myself and others have found really helpful in providing a reflective space.” Charlotte Eaton - Chief People Officer
Psychology for hiring - Using a psychometric toolkit to evaluate candidates for a leadership team role, focusing operating style and team and cultural fit for this dynamic and creative business.
"The work we did with Rich really helped us to get under the skin of the candidates and how they might fit into the leadership team and Pirate culture. This outside perspective helped us to make a critical hire with confidence." Ashlee Campbell - People Director
Defining - and hiring for - company values - helping the founders to define and articulate Floodflash’s company values, and building a robust structured interview process that allows them to evaluate candidates against the values in a fair and systematic way.
“Working with Rich has given us the opportunity and tools to really integrate our company values into our recruitment process, and build our team around the behaviours that are important to FloodFlash.” Zara Kreimeia - People and Office Manager

Interesting work that isn’t yet complete
Head of People - advice and support
The strategic importance of the Head of People role in startups is well understood, and great ones are hard to find. It’s also a tough job: once they join they are often isolated, without fellow professionals to test their ideas with.
I helped Condense Reality with the selection process to find their current Head of People, and now meet with him regularly - alongside Craig Winterton - to provide coaching, support and advice to help him grow with the business.
