Who We Are
We founded Consulting Women in 2004 with our mission to help women become the best they can be. This defines the way we work. We believe that an individual's way forward becomes much easier if you know and work through individual and unique strengths. Getting to know what you do really well is at the heart of our leadership development programmes and coaching.
​
Over the past 30 years our learning paths have brought us to research, develop and share with others, ground breaking development methodologies that support businesses in growing successfully, and people in bringing their unique strengths to the world.
Foremost in these approaches have been the systems-centred approaches of Consulting People Limited’s (CPL) Double Loop Learning, and Organisational Constellations.
In many roles, we have led, developed, coached, managed, advised and consulted to people at Board and other levels, and have helped them achieve the results they want for themselves and their businesses – often in strategically critical and politically sensitive situations.
We now offer you the chance to join us on a journey to discover and refine your unique gifts and find practical, grounded ways of bringing these effectively to your business. You will also develop your ability to do the same for others in your business and wider life.
