Our trainers

Hi, I’m Kathy, and I’m passionate about helping businesses create inclusive cultures and embrace ethical practices. My aim is always to be calm and friendly, a style that helps me challenge ideas around diversity and inclusion in a way that sparks meaningful change. With over 16 years in management roles for blue-chip companies like EE, Arup, and Rabobank, I’ve delivered strategic roadmaps and ground-breaking programmes that have transformed how businesses think and behave.

 I’m an experienced facilitator who believes in creating a psychologically safe space where everyone feels valued and heard. My authentic, collaborative approach encourages learning and growth, and my curiosity about the connections between wellbeing and inclusivity adds a unique perspective to my work.

I'm Lucy, 

I come from a varied background made up of 20 years in education, up to executive leadership level, and training and working as a professional actor.  Together with a number of years facilitating learning for leaders, being a professionally accredited executive coach and systemic team coach, I bring a variety of experiences, ideas and useful resources to help us all navigate the complexities of leadership management, effective communication, presentation and inclusion. 

I'm particularly passionate about our Women in Leadership, our Equality, Diversity and Inclusion and our Line Management development programmes.

I have a degree in Law, and an MA in Education. I am a member of the Association for Coaching, the European Mentoring and Coaching Council and the Academy of Executive Coaching.

Hello

I'm Pradeep, one of Aspire's Senior Learning Consultants I have over a decade’s experience as a trainer in presentation skills, communication and leadership skills and diversity.

I have experience of running all of Aspire's public courses. I love the variety of topics and people we meet. You won't find me far from Strategic Planning and Leadership though as they are areas I'm especially interested in.

I have an MSc in Business Psychology, a Diploma in NLP, am a member of the Association for Coaching, and I'm a Fellow of the Institute of Leadership and Management.

Hello, I’m Sally.

I lead on all the courses here which gives me the opportunity to have an overview of the huge range of techniques and models.

There’s such an overwhelming amount of information about communications training and I am passionate about bringing theories  to life and making them practical  and accessible for everyday life. 

I’ve been working in Learning and Development for 25 years and my background is in Psychology & Drama. 

As a trainer and executive coach, I work with a wide range of industries, which gives me in-depth insight into different cultures and organisations. 

I love to create a kind, playful, challenging training environment that is both energising and inspiring. This enables you to identify your strengths and learn new tools and approaches. 

I look forward to meeting you.  

Hello I'm Tee. I’ve trained over 100,000 people and really enjoy helping people take their next step - whatever that is. I focus on making things easy for people and often find this includes enabling them to say what they need to say while maintaining positive relationships – thus making difficult conversations less so, or even go away completely!  I have also researched confidence extensively ­– what makes us feel it and why it comes and goes, and I love sharing tips on how we can access it when we need it, in an authentic way.  While I work with many senior teams and boards and spend a lot of time training trainers, I also enjoy supporting people to have the influence and impact at work that they want.
