Jamie Pennington: Personal Profile

Jamie is a trusted facilitator of change within both professional service firms and service functions within commercial companies. He uses a framework of consulting, facilitation, training and coaching to work with clients to get the results they want.

What he does

He takes time to really listen, to understand the client culture; its Vision, Values, Mission, Stated Objectives and Feedback mechanisms, all of which contribute to the pattern of behaviour. He is then trusted by a client to address the problem, not the symptom, which results in long term change rather than short-term behaviour modification.

Where he does it

His clients range from small (8 partner law firms) to large (FTSE 100 companies). Clients are chosen carefully to avoid any conflict of interest, and current clients are consulted before we work with new clients. All current and former clients have agreed to provide telephone references.

How he does it

The process is usually a combination of consulting at the organisational level, training and facilitation at the team/department level and coaching/mentoring at the individual level. As an external change agent he builds high levels of trust with all parts of a firm, which enables his experience and expertise to be effectively used. The result is a bespoke process with measurable results.
