I mentor project & change managers to:
– see the wood for the trees
– identify blockers and distractions
– see the priority actions that will produce results.

The mentoring is achieved through a flexible mixture of face-to-face, telephone and online meetings. The sole focus is on helping mentees to overcome their project challenges and achieve their personal and project goals. [See Recommendations below]

Project Management is a challenging profession, requiring many technical, organisational and people skills. I have over 30 years’ experience in a variety of industries and project sizes.

I work with a small number of clients at any one time, and take a very flexible approach in responding to the clients’ needs.

Recommendation from Project & Change manager at pharma company

(3 years later this person has been promoted to Change Director at the same company)

Nic has mentored me for over 18 months and has been instrumental in my growth as a Project Leader. Nic has encouraged me to explore my ideas in a safe space whilst challenging me sensitively to see the bigger picture. Nic always offers practical suggestions, expert guidance based on his own experience and/or reminders of basic principles, never hesitating to follow up with an e-mail if required. There is a strong focus on managing the stakeholder, building trust and managing expectations…aspects which are often undervalued in the business setting as individuals/the team are focused on delivering the outputs. These simple reminders have enabled me to deliver sustainable ‘change’ within the organisation. Nic is an advocate of acknowledging small steps and successes…things which are overlooked when there is such a long way to go!

Recommendation from Project manager at University of Greenwich

Nic has offered me insightful advice and guidance within the field of Project Management. I have been mentored by Nic for over 9 months, since commencing my first role in Project Management. Nic’s ability to understand the issues I am facing and ask me relevant questions in order to make me create viable solutions has made a dramatic difference to the delivery of the EU project I am managing. Without knowing directly the issues and staff I am working with, Nic is able to offer expert guidance and remind me of different principles to use to engage and motivate my large and diverse project team.
