HOATHER CONSULTING
Straightforward and Practical Advice
"....a genuine understanding of people, which makes her support both effective and deeply trusted..."
Services
I provide a comprehensive range of problem solving services including Mediation, Coaching, Executive Level Mentoring and Leadership Development tailored to suit your individual or business requirements.
Mediation
I believe that people need to be listened to – not through a tick box approach, but with real attention to their perspective. In most conflicts or friction there is a practical way forwards that brings people closer together, once viewpoints are really understood and reframed.
I have worked with leadership teams, or within teams where communications have broken down, sometimes on a singular issue, frequently across multiple people and subjects. I am straightforward, able to tackle difficult conversations head on and help individuals see a way forward together as a team.

Independent Chair
I act as an independent chair to commercial and charitable organisations. From complex grievance cases to appeals against redundancy and dismissal. When organisations need a truly independent and reliable lead I provide clear investigation, fair scrutiny of process and a well- reasoned outcome.
Quick to learn, I can allow the space for everyone’s point of view to be heard, provide clear investigation, drawing on my years of running large national teams.
I deliver this work as an associate of ‘HR – Your Business Matters’, drawing on technical advice where needed, and allowing access to all necessary legal employer business partners.
Mentoring
I have supported many individuals over the years, typically those in middle to senior management roles. Approaching each person’s support in an entirely bespoke way, I work in six session blocks. To keep costs down, I can work online, or indeed if preferable in a face-to-face relaxed way. As you will see from the selection of testimonials from Mentee to Line Manager, my focus is straightforward and practical - I help people identify where they see their challenges, tackle those directly, and most importantly leave with actions they can take immediately.
