Who are our coaches?

Lucy Ord

Hi. My name is Lucy and I’m a qualified coach, facilitator, and leadership and organisation development specialist.

I work across a variety of sectors including health, local government, education and the private sector to support individuals and teams develop their capability and performance.

I often work with clients who are making career transitions, leading change, or who feel stuck. I’m passionate about enabling people to see their potential, to live their values, to grow their confidence and to work more effectively.

Working with me will provide you with a safe space for reflection and clarity which will stimulate deeper self-awareness and create new ways of thinking and working.

Lucy is passionate about supporting people to see their potential, find their purpose and get ‘unstuck’. She enables clients to harness and work with greater authenticity, personal presence, and emotional intelligence.

Thank you so much for being my coach! I can’t say enough about how much this has helped me both personally and professionally. You have helped me look at things differently and provided me with the confidence and courage to believe in myself! I now have a set of goals that I will continue to build on and progress the great work we have done during our sessions.

Manager NHS

I absolutely loved working with Lucy, and genuinely believe everybody needs a Lucy in their life. Lucy provided me with a constructive space to discuss things that mattered. She provided me with safe challenge and some excellent tools that I can use in every aspect of my life, as well as work… I am not sure what more you would want for a coach.
