  Fisons Pharmaceutical Division

  Jul 1979 - Jul 1993

  Training and Safety Coordinator

  I spent 14 happy years with Fisons, who were a FTSE100 company, later absorbed into the Rhone-Poulenc giant, having started with the company as Production Supervisor, then gaining several promotions through Production Manager and Training Coordinator, to Training & Safety Coordinator (a role tailored to my specific skills and impact), to ultimately Site Safety Advisor, changing perceptions of safety as a ‘nice to have’ to a business critical compliance need. My responsibilities crossed a multitude of aspects for the business, and during my time there, I restructured company Health & Safety Policy and created effective communication channels for sharing information, recording issues, and establishing improvements in line with emerging industry legislation. I also determined, created, and delivered Risk Management training to all levels, alongside bespoke training courses to meet HSE criteria including 4-day Health and Safety workshops for supervisory staff.These were dynamic and ever-changing times in terms of Health and Safety, and I was amongst a few trailblazers who dedicated their careers to stabilising and maintaining safe workplaces. I launched the Environment sub-committee and Emergency Response procedures, including the leadership of operations to disassemble and remove a redundant 10,000-gallon diesel fuel storage tank.I oversaw a number of other key projects including the creation and implementation of a ground-breaking new Training Management System, achieving the deployment of a fully competent team of 10 Section Instructors and the development of a bespoke software package to embed the training function. I achieved efficiencies of 90%+ (measured against work study standards) on over 80% of processed orders, ensuring cost-effective utilisation of resources in meeting production targets and deadlines.

  TSS Consultancy

  Jul 2004 - now

  Executive Performance Coach

  Executive Performance CoachTSS Consultancy August 1993 to date| UKTSS Consultancy supports organisations by enabling leaders to overcome a range of limiting beliefs, facilitating growth mindsets as an advocate of change and optimised performance.I tailor interventions which integrate with programmes aimed at system-based improvements and organisational transformation. I have a well-established portfolio of clients across the Oil & Gas, Energy, Engineering, Pharma, and Manufacturing sectors; they trust me, to develop strategically driven coaching programmes to facilitate personal and professional growth. Over the past 6 years, I have worked largely with leaders at Conoco's UK HQ in Aberdeen, I achieved an overall 10% improvement across 12 different leadership traits, the highest being "Influences others" (18%), "Shows Empathy" (14%), "Helps others grow" (14%) and Communicates the Vision (12%). The figures came from psychometric evaluation, before and after a scope of coaching. Sometimes, they require a lengthy programme of sessions which support self-led goal attainment, other times, they simply require a light touch to enable access to their own consciousness and a switch of mindset around a specific issue they are encountering.I manage these concurrent coaching programmes to support growth and overcome limitations and confidence blocks for individuals in high-profile, demanding positions either as private clients, via their businesses or through intermediary agencies. Initially, I assess client needs to establish goals and/or barriers, before moving into the client led coaching space. I have provided programmes (amongst others) which have successfully turned around HSE of a UKBU to best performing GBU, supported a construction rig in winning the Oil and Gas Award in Employee Engagement, and supported an Executive client to realise 95% of their future state predictors.
