Coaching and mentoring
My coaching and mentoring can help clarify your thinking, articulate your narrative and drive meaningful change.
“Working on my narrative was transformational.
Something has shifted in me.”
Nicola Wendel
Independent safeguarding consultant
I combine consultancy with coaching and mentoring to produce transformational shifts for leaders, communicators and independent consultants. Through one-off sessions and longer programmes, I will help you unpick your ideas and develop clarity and momentum for the way ahead.
Lately, I’ve guided clients through transformations in these areas:
- Adapting to change by shaping new services, brands and content strategies
- Addressing stress and burnout through self-awareness, resilience and balance
- Managing conflict and low confidence for more effective, enjoyable work
- Managing complex projects by clarifying priorities, boundaries and roles
- Tackling inefficiencies through clearer processes and policies
- Ensuring value for money through projects that engage and influence
- Clarifying brand by creating an authentic, values-based identity and profile
- Professionalism building good publishing practice and content guidelines
“Through working with Eleanor, I found my voice
