Work Background

Zig Zag Transformations LtdFounder

Apr. 2021Cambridge, England, United Kingdom · RemoteHR, Psychology and NLP Expert. I lead transformation for visionary leaders and businesses who are committed to evolving, transforming and creating sustainable positive change that impacts well-being and increases the bottom line. Without a solid plan to facilitate change and transformation, your people and consumers may drift. I help clarify what’s required to transform for the long term. From people to process, I help organisations find their way to minimise disruption but maximise the business result. Through my contemporary, powerful, and success-oriented style, I aspire to help my clients make the shift from passive to active, providing clarity, focus, and positive momentum. When you hire me as your business strategist, transformation consultant or coach, you hire a strategic partner and assert a firm commitment to make revolutionary and dynamic changes. Lack of Direction: providing guidance and strategy to help visionary leaders and businesses define their goals and chart a clear path forward. Stagnation: mindset coaching and transformative experiences to break through barriers and catalyse personal and professional growth. Leadership Development: support visionary entrepreneurs and leaders in honing their leadership skills and driving positive organisational change. Sustainable Success: create strategies for sustainable success, prioritising personal well-being, professional fulfilment, and positive impact on the world. Integration of Travel and Growth: host cultural experiences in multi-locations globally that focus on personal development, expand perspectives, and facilitate growth across life and career.

The OutPlacersFounder

Oct. 2021 - Oct. 2023Cambridge, England, United KingdomTasked with inevitable headcount cutting, I was frustrated with expensive outplacement services that provide poor support and didn't see why outplacement should be such a dirty word and a negative experience. I was convinced there was a better way of doing it that would avoid the stress of damaging reputation and morale, for the brand and the individuals involved. So... I've founded a new company called The OutPlacers, inspired by dating apps, with a new approach to career transition, and secured funding from Tribepad Ventures. We want to create a careers transition service that you and your employee feels good about. The world is changing and it’s time for outplacement to catch up.
