Consultancy

"Francie helped our team feel empowered" – public sector client
Does your team need to make a change or solve a problem?

As a consultant I can support you and your team through challenging times.

I am a qualified consultant MSc with 30 years’ experience of working as a manager, educator, group facilitator, supervisor and clinician within various organisations, schools and universities.

Having worked within systems and teams I have gained a good understanding of what makes a team function well – and the harm that can be experienced when a team gets stuck.

What happens in a consultation?

  • First step will be to meet with you and your organisation
  • ⇩
  • Together we’ll create a clear agreement of my relationship with your organisation as your consultant
  • ⇩
  • Together we’ll identify the issues and form a contract
  • ⇩
  • I (Francie) will then plan a consultation
  • ⇩
  • I will bring this plan to your team to work collaboratively with everyone involved
  • ⇩
  • I will give attention to all the feedback and work on the plan
  • ⇩
  • I will present this back to your team for further negotiation
  • ⇩
  • Together we will assess the final design
  • ⇩

Google Analytics cookies

We track the number of visitors to the site using Google Analytics. However we do not send any personal information about you to Google Analytics.

We anonymise your IP address before it’s sent to the Google Analytics servers, so there’s no way to identify which computer visited the site.

We also set the main Google Analytics cookie (_ga) to expire at the end of your browsing session, rather than the default 2 years – this means we do not track whether you’ve visited the site before.
