Your HR & Culture Critical Friend
Sometimes you need space to think out loud. Someone who understands the challenges, asks useful questions and helps you see a way forward.
Other times, you need an experienced pair of eyes on a strategy, policy or plan before you take it further.
My monthly Critical Friend subscription gives you both: dedicated mentoring time with me and time for me to review your work, offering constructive feedback you can use.
Whether you’re investing in yourself or arranging support for someone in your organisation, you’ll have a trusted thinking partner alongside you.
Listen
Space to talk, reflect and think.
Bring your challenges, ideas and those “I’m not quite sure what to do here” moments.
With two hours of mentoring each month, we’ll explore what’s happening, what matters and what you want to achieve. I’ll listen, ask questions and help you work through your options
Respond
Honest feedback. A different perspective.
Alongside our mentoring conversations, you’ll have two hours of my time each month to review work you share with me.
That could be a people strategy, policy, culture plan, leadership proposal or another piece of work where you’d value an experienced view.
I’ll highlight strengths, question assumptions and identify gaps, with practical suggestions to help you strengthen your approach.
Act
Turn your thinking into clear next steps.
Our work together will help you decide what to prioritise, what to change and how to move forward.
You’ll leave with clear actions and greater confidence in your decisions. In our mentoring conversations, we can revisit progress, work through barriers and adjust your approach as you go.
Could this be the support you need?
This could be for you if you’re leading a people function, navigating change, developing your strategic confidence or working on something important and would welcome thoughtful challenge.
You bring the knowledge of your organisation. I bring experience, curiosity and a willingness to ask the questions that help you move forward.
Make space to listen, respond and act.
