 NICHOLA BATLEY“I have always been fascinated with helping people to achieve their potential; from secondary school pupils in an inner London school, to managers and leaders at all levels in organisations. The recession has presented a challenge; how to continue to effectively develop people when resources are severely constrained. It has led me to reconsider what I do and how I work with individuals and organisations. I have developed flexible and creative ways of helping my clients to address the issues they face and in the process, have learnt a lot about myself and how I deal with change. I continually learn and share the insight with the leaders and managers with whom I work and who are also experiencing this significant change.” Nichola has worked in HR for more than 20 years and has a depth and breadth of experience (including line HR experience) in addressing people issues in organisations. She has worked across a range of organisations in both the public and private sectors on a variety of assignments in the areas of: management & leadership development, coaching, assessment & development centres, competency frameworks, performance management, organisation design and team building. When describing what it feels like to work with her, Nichola uses the words, professional, pragmatic, results orientated, supportive, honest and challenging. She is a Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development and has background working in a ‘Big Four’ consultancy. Nichola is based in the UK. SPECIALITIES & PASSIONS
