About me
I'm a specialist communications trainer with years of front-line experience I've harnessed to help support and develop your talent and bright stars.
I've spent the best part of the last 25 years working in agencies building teams, developing staff and helping people reach their potential.
Mind The Gap is my training academy providing a range of different training programmes suited to different levels of experience and expertise - all based on up-skilling staff, business owners, freelance consultants and also helping in-house marketing teams develop and learn.
Having worked with agencies throughout the UK to help them build integrated offerings; introducing and developing content teams to pull through additional revenue strands and training and developing the people within the business to manage, develop and grow, I understand the stresses and plate spinning that happens in agency life.
Operating as a one-woman band for the last eighteen years, I also gets what it's like to go it alone. My C.A.R.E in Comms framework has been designed for agencies, freelancers and consultants to help them look after themselves while managing, running and growing their own businesses.
Growing up in the world of comms, I've had some great mentors and also a few interesting characters that taught me how not to do things. There is a real need in the comms industry to develop real, practical training for people as they gather their experience. All too often a fantastic marketer is promoted through the ranks without any training on how to manage staff, manage people and even how to manage workloads. I provide hands on, practical tailored training that empowers individuals and helps them develop their own personal styles.
My training programmes range from 1:1 coaching and development to group workshops to know how sessions bringing added value to teams. Launching in November is the Time to C.A.R.E course designed and created to promote wellbeing within agencies.
Mind The Gap trades under Mash Communications where I provide strategic comms advice for agencies and businesses.
