Co-Founder

Coloured Square

Coloured Square creates change and drives results...

• We provoke powerful new mindsets
• We generate new behaviours (insisting people use them for real while they're with us)
• We embed a range of easy to use, common-sense tools
• We inject pace, energy and confidence into the indivduals and groups we work with

Whether we're coaching, training or mentoring, our methodology, principles and models are immediately accessible and easy to understand. We work hard to quickly establish rapport. We quickly make them feel relaxed - whilst at the same time, have them feel a sense of 'I'm slightly on the edge... I don't quite know what's coming next & I better stay alert.' We have fun, but we also work people hard and we expect a lot from them.

We draw on a huge catalogue of recognised material as well as our own bank of Coloured Square intellectual property. We avoid role play, and constantly look for ways to get people using the ideas immediately 'live' and within their own current commercial context. 

We’ve developed a strong reputation over 13 years for designing and delivering customised programmes with clients such as Lloyds Banking Group, Virgin Media, Clarks, Mail Newspapers, Universal Music and Camelot.

We’re experts in management, leadership, multi-site & field management, selling, stakeholder management, coaching, mentoring and training design & delivery.
