Who are we?
Our team > Sue Osborne
Sue Osborne
Sue operates with the principles of a thinking environment and with deep and inciteful questions to prompt reflection.
She is curious and kind and provides a safe space to explore personal and professional challenges and opportunities. She believes that long-term change takes place at a deeper emotional level, and she works with clients on their behavioural patterns, beliefs, drivers and needs, to help them to develop new ways of being successful in their roles.
Sue is an Executive Coach, Coach Supervisor, Action Learning Set Facilitator, Trainer and Consultant.
Sue works across the public, private, charitable and social enterprise sectors.
Working with Sue has allowed me to explore and ultimately change my role with my organisation. Sue guided me through challenging decisions and work situations in a very supportive way. Sue helped me to question my own assumptions and thought processes, opening up new solutions and possibilities to some seemingly intractable issues. This has resulted in a growth of confidence and a change of role/direction that has benefitted both myself and my organisation
Senior Leader VCSE Sector
The sessions have been transformational. Having the time to reflect and be challenged (in a supportive way) has made me realise a number of things about myself and my interactions with others. I have made some long-term changes which have already had a positive material impact. I couldn’t recommend Sue highly enough
