Our Impact: Testimonials
“Beth has transformed our People Development function, creating impactful programmes that resonate with staff and align with organisational strategy. Her ability to connect theory with practice ensures real-world application and tangible outcomes.”
Director of HR, Russell Group University
“You always commit to doing what you say you’re going to do, recognising any barriers and always keeping us up to date. You’re constantly thinking about and how to best support us - always flexing your approach where needed to consider individual differences. To say you recognise the power of working collaboratively is almost an understatement. This is something you champion, and I think the benefits of this are noticed much more widely than just our team or department.”
People Development Advisor, Russell Group University
"The professionalism and knowledge from Beth was thought provoking, especially when trying to think from other peoples perspective. Taking time to reflect was important in delivering what success looked like and navigating challenges. I have several pages of notes, that I revisit from time to time, problems still arise, and I sometimes think, what would Beth say."
C-Suite Leader, Higher Education
“I just want to say a massive thank you to Beth - she's a fantastic facilitator and these sessions have done me the world of good. I think I would be in a much worse place now if it wasn't for these sessions, so thank you for all your help, guidance, and insights - and reminding me to breathe and check in with myself!”
Programme Participant
"Beth has been that fresh pair of eyes I needed, helping me solidify current thinking, challenging my doubts, and uplifting my experiences; all which have ultimately helped me through a tricky time as a leader so I could deliver a measured, calm and well thought through approach. I have been immensely grateful for the coaching and the experience has made me realise that we all need a Beth in our coaching corner!"
CEO, Teeside Students' Union
"Bethany’s challenging but supportive questions, and focus on the actionable steps I could take left me feeling positive and inspired after every session. Through the coaching sessions, I gained a greater sense of confidence over the things I could influence. Directly as a result of Bethany's coaching, I gained the confidence to take positive action. I wholeheartedly recommend Bethany to anyone ready to proactively invest in their personal and professional growth."
Deputy Faculty Director of Operations, University of Sheffield
The Human Centred Horizons Approach
Understanding Your Needs
Our values are centred around curiosity, creativity and connection, which we bring to all of our interactions. We are keen to understand your context and what good looks like for you, so that we can create and facilitate new and tailored solutions that fit for you.
We work this way, also placing you and your people at the heart of what we do; considering how to enhance relationships, deepen understanding, build skills and grow organisational performance.
​
We appreciate that leaders and employees are often short on time and 'headspace,' and working against a backdrop of constant change. We do our best to embed learning and provide practical and tangible outputs to suit your needs.
We never charge for a first meeting, as we want to fully understand your needs and how we can add value for you and your business.
