"(I) really enjoyed working with Jane, she fitted into the team so well. Jane quickly got to grips with both the corporate plan and operational plan and ensured that the directorate continued to achieve its objectives. Often it takes time to get up to speed, but Jane just cracked on! Jane was great counsel and really helped me explore EDI in more detail. Jane connected me with new colleagues who continue to support Torus Foundation to make positive changes.

Jane approaches everything with a calmness and positivity and I really hope we work together in the future."

"Jane was an integral part of our LEAP Beyond change programme, working closely with the executive team and senior managers, and leading on ‘people and culture’ transformation specifically. This included consulting colleagues and Board members on developing our People Strategy and Behaviours Framework which was bespoke to our organisational context. This is being now being measured and actively discussed during 121s and performance review processes which has helped to instil change and improved behaviours including around challenge and support.

Jane worked with us during a particularly challenging period as we were not only transforming during the pandemic but where we had several HR gaps that needed to be quickly addressed. This is now paying dividends in terms of employee and customer results. I would recommend Jane to other organisations and she will quickly become part of your team."

"Jane has worked with mhs homes providing strategic organisational development advice and consultancy. This has been in support of our organisation wide transformation programme which covers culture, people, process and system change. 

A key part of this has been coaching and mentoring for the executive team and the broader leadership group. Within the group there are very different styles and levels of comfort with ambiguity and change. Jane’s approach is to encourage self reflection and self management. She is calm, non directive but make no mistake, she is challenging. As a result of her coaching, individuals within the team have developed greater self awareness, confidence and change management skills, as well as greater insight into their own styles, the impact on others and the benefits of themselves adopting a more coaching style. We have also developed as a more cohesive team.

Jane has also helped us to embed our new leadership behaviours framework and accompanying appraisal process. She has provided training to middle and team managers on objective setting, giving feedback and coaching for high performance. This has been followed up by action learning sessions to embed the learning.

Jane has proved herself to be insightful and flexible in her approaches. She does not offer a one size fits all solution, rather she works with the leader/manager and helps them to move forward in the context of their development and the organisation’s goals. I would not hesitate to recommend Jane to other organisations and management teams."
