About

Introductions:

I’m Vicky, I started Pro Populus eight years ago after a long career in management and leadership in the Pharmaceutical services sector.

I use my work and life experience to understand, analyse and support you to reach the outcomes and results you are looking for.

How could I work with you?

Individual Coaching

We all have problems and challenges we want to solve, from the simple to complex and from easy to challenging…

Sometimes we don’t even realise we have a challenge or maybe we don’t want to admit to it.

Having someone to coach and support us is about having someone there to listen, support, analyse, challenge you, help you process, guide you and find solutions that work for you.

Do you know anyone who would benefit from: Someone who can listen and support them, Support in their new management role, help to unravel a problem, develop clarity and start finding solutions, help managing a difficult situation or person at work, guidance on improving performance?

Are you looking for someone to listen, a chance to offload, humility, empathy, someone to help simplify and sort issues, practical steps to help you move forward.

Would you like to feel: less pressure, less overwhelmed, more in control, more confident, clearer in thinking, less confused, more competent, more able to handle difficult situations and people?

Do you know anyone who is: struggling in their role, very stressed and overwhelmed, challenged by moving employees back into the office, not sure how to have a difficult conversation, dealing with conflict feeling derailed and lacking confidence?

Leadership/Management workshops for new/untrained managers

Challenge – a recent client wanted to provide management/leadership training for their management team. The managers were of mixed ability and experience and the client wanted them to all experience workshops which enabled them to have a common language and tools to work with.

Workshops – the workshops were designed to run monthly over a six month period and covered the following topics:

  • Managing me to manage you
  • Managing and Leading People
  • Communicating for effectiveness
  • Having difficult conversations and giving feedback
  • Managing performance and developing people
  • Coaching skills

Methodology – each workshop combined theory and tools to support the topic mixed with participant discussion and input and practice to embed the learning. Each participant left each workshop with objectives and application goals and we revisited these at the start of the next workshop.

Workshops are bespoke and tailored to the needs of each client.

Other example workshops I have run:

  • Myers Briggs Type Indicator team effectiveness workshop
  • Change Management
  • Emotional Intelligence
  • High Performance Teams
  • Effective 1:1 Meetings
  • Managing Effective Teams

Group Facilitation

I commonly work with teams and groups who have a goal or project they would like to achieve. I am brought in to facilitate the group’s discussions and use a process to enable them to explore each aspect fully and then to decide on actions to enable them to achieve their goals. As an objective facilitator I can support the group effectively and all team members can be fully involved in the process.

I am Qualified in/experienced in:

  • Myers Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) step I and II
  • Human Synergistics (HSUK) LSI, LWS and Teams
  • 360 Feedback
