Credentials
I have 25+ years’ experience as a consultant to global organisations combined with academic research.
As an expert in culture and communication with a PhD from Cranfield University, I work with multinational organisations to help them deal with the communication and leadership issues of the multicultural workplace. I help them to map existing culture, develop and deliver culture and communication strategies, increase employee engagement across borders and improve intercultural effectiveness.
My culture work includes designing and facilitating culture change workshops, among others with Airbus engineering teams, Microsoft EMEA leaders and Cabinet Office public servants.
I have worked with clients to design and facilitate values communication programmes including for Birmingham Midshires, BAE Systems and Compaq/HP. I have conducted several culture and communication audits including for Pfizer and Stryker EMEA among others. I also regularly design and delivers bespoke training for executives in intercultural communication, diversity and leading across borders, most recently for Chugai, Denso and NHS Leaders and also in partnership with Madrid and Oxford Said Business Schools.
Combining my corporate work with classroom teaching, I teach intercultural communication for business and the professions to MSc students at Warwick University and I am a lead tutor at the newly launched Masters in Internal Communication Management at Solent University. I also run open training programmes in Communication, Culture and Engagement for the Institute of Internal Communication.
