Tricia Richardson
Tricia has developed coaching strategies that embrace emotional intelligence coupled with the ability to tap into own wisdom.
Tricia supports people through, The Thinking Environment to create their own inroads and options. The beauty of this approach is that it works at both an individual level and at a group level and has enabled Tricia to witness profound change both in those individuals and herself.
Tricia is a Leadership Development Coach (accredited to use MBTI, SDI, Emotional Intelligence Leadership and Brain Talents profiles), Facilitator and Consultant.
Tricia has considerable experience across several industries including NHS, Financial Services and Public Transport.
The coaching sessions have been valuable. I think they might actually be life changing. I find the coaching helps me to prioritise and strategize and helps me to order my thoughts. It has changed the way I approach issues, helping me to make a much more ordered approach and to also consider options and alternatives, to work out the best way forward for the things I am trying to work on. I really believe that the coaching has made me a better manager and a better friend.
Executive Director
Trish was calm, reflective and supportive. She helped me to reflect on the areas I wanted to develop and also to focus on my “noble goal” and how I was going to get there. She helped me to gain great clarity over my purpose and what I wanted from work and also supported me to unpick some tricky relationships, leadership challenges and to reflect upon my own leadership style and what I could do to be as impactful as possible to the team and Firm, while still satisfying my own values.”

Style
Based on the needs of the client Tricia uses coaching strategies that embrace a combination of emotional intelligence and tapping into their own wisdom.
Tricia’s main coaching style is Time to Think, which seeks to create a thinking environment to ignite thinking rather than engage in exchange thinking. Tricia listens to ignite, not to respond, which is the singular purpose of being in a Thinking Environment. You may have heard about ‘untrue limiting assumptions’; these are incredibly powerful and often go undetected, as they are so integrated within us that we accept them without challenge. They block us from achieving our outcomes. Tricia creates the conditions in which you can free yourself from their grip.
