face value performance psychology limited
Sheffield
My background in leadership development, occupational psychology, executive
coaching, organization development and neuroscience gives me the skills and
experience to help any client in any industry to maximise their potential for
performance. I work with a small number of experienced associates, whom I’ve
known for several years. I have self-funded all the qualifications I need to be
able to offer a professional and reliable service. These are listed in the
right-hand column. My professional development is continuing as I work towards
Chartered Coaching Psychologist status. My professional career includes 9 years
as a commissioned officer in the British Army, reaching the rank of major by 30
years old and fulfilling roles as an HR Director/Company Secretary of an
infantry battalion (1st Battalion The Green Howards) on operations in Northern
Ireland and Bosnia-Herzegovina. I led the first-ever British Army expedition to
Lake Baikal, the World’s largest freshwater lake, in Siberia, Russia in 1995,
lasting 3 months. After leaving the Forces, I held operations management roles
in Ernst & Young, Cap Gemini and Accenture, before working for a number of
boutique psychology consultancies, including Chimp Management, a company closely
involved with various Team GB Olympic sports including cycling, swimming,
taekwondo and canoeing. I am supervised by an EMCC and ICF-accredited
supervisor. I am also a qualified Mental Health First Aider, which compliments
my skills workshops on managing stress and building resilience. For my own
wellbeing, I enjoy running, hill walking and real ale, occasionally combining
all three by taking part in mountain marathons followed by a well-earned break
in a local pub to refuel and recover. I enjoy reading history and biographies
(as well as psychology, it goes without saying!), and I try to keep my German
and Russian above the level of embarrassed British tourist asking for directions
to the beach.
