Jaqueline Jardine| Consultant
During the day…
Jacqueline has worked across a wide range of organisations, and both lived and worked in the UK and Internationally and this enables her to provide both depth of insight when working with teams and individuals as well as a unique breadth of understanding of the complex inter-relationships which exist in organisations.
Jacqueline is equally happy designing and delivering engaging behavioural development solutions for teams, managers/leaders, or working with individuals on a one-to-one coaching basis or being involved in creating a people strategy aligned to the needs of the business.
And not forgetting getting her teeth stuck into a good Employee Relations case! All of this is delivered with the ethos of getting the best out of people and ensuring the customer is at the heart,
And afterwards…
Jacqueline switches off with her family and to maintain her mental and physical wellbeing loves some strength classes, dancing (or a good boogie) and just recently has taken up running again after a knee injury. Though someone who finds it less easy to sit and do nothing, a good book and staring out to the sea can help Jacqueline do this!
Cecile Ay | Consultant

She is also a volunteer for the Medical Detection Dogs Charity and currently fosters one of their lovely labradors which means a lot of walking in parks and woods.

Tracy Filler | Consultant
Experienced in both corporate and SME structures, Tracy works with her clients at a strategic and tactical level supporting improved conversations and outcomes.

Tracy is passionate about personal and professional development and has been a volunteer Facilitator for the Association for Coaching since 2015 for the Buckinghamshire area.
She is an ILM level 7 Executive and senior level coach and mentor, an NLP Practitioner with experience of developing bespoke programmes and creative learning interventions.
And Afterwards...
Tracy wouldn’t say she’s particularly adventurous, feeling more comfortable in a boardroom than on a mountain (although she did manage Ben Nevis), but she is proud of sitting on an elephant, running the zip wire at Snowdon and walking the Inca Trail.
Most weeks she’ll be found at Spin and Pilates classes, fitted in between family commitments, and time spent with valued friendships.
Summer weekends are spent swimming with her Newfoundland dogs in a lake somewhere and winter will find her in front of the log burner watching a movie with a glass of red.
