Work with Cordelia

Here are some examples of ways you can work with Cordelia:

Inclusive Leadership Coaching

A trained Coach, Cordelia supports senior leaders and key decision makers with safe space conversations that explore DEI learning and best practise. Leaders recognise Inclusive leadership and DEI as business imperatives and competitive advantage – so they can develop strategies to lead culture change initiatives with authenticity and determination. Group or 1:1 coaching sessions can be arranged.

Bespoke Leadership Development Programmes

Talent and leadership development programmes can fall short because they often focus on ‘fixing the person’, without acknowledging the systemic issues that are barriers to career progression. Cordelia recognises that a focus on ‘fixing the person’ is counter-productive and her approach to designing and delivering effective programmes is holistic and outcome focused.

DEI Strategy Development
and Implementation

With a proven track record of using a forensic approach in developing and leading impactful DEI strategies and action plans, Cordelia is a unique strategist who has operated across sectorial boundaries to embed DEI into hearts and minds at all levels. She understands the fine balance that’s needed to support underrepresented groups, while ensuring that those who belong to overrepresented groups are effectively engaged in any change process.

Speaking Engagements

Cordelia draws from her broad experience and social research background to deliver regular talks on various topics including DEI and Social mobility best practise, Inclusive leadership, Workplace inclusion, Talent development, Authenticity and Purpose, Personal Branding and Identity. With personal values of ‘Authenticity and Impact’, she draws from her lived experience when needed to demonstrate how vulnerability can be a superpower.

Research & Publications

Cordelia has conducted and participated in several research projects exploring issues relating to DEI, workplace inclusion and leadership. Some examples of her research – individual, and collaborations:

Tailored Workshops and Team-Building Sessions

There are many reasons why people might struggle to unlearn and relearn and this must be recognised when any good learning is being developed or delivered. Cordelia’s approach to workshops and team building sessions is to mitigate against learning barriers by providing safe spaces where all participants can intentionally focus.

It was great to work with Cordelia when we were both at NSPCC. Cordelia's approach to training and embedding DEI was strategic, informed and practical.

JB, Head of Development and Impact, NSPCC

Cordelia led and delivered a team building session that improved my team's understanding of practical and effective ways to become a high performing team. The session was really valued by all team members that attended the session. Everyone left the team building session with both practical tips about how they can improve their individual contribution to the team; as well as a deeper understanding about other team members communications preferences so, that when interacting and collaborating they can always have maximum impact.

BK, Legal Director, BT Group

She has designed and project managed several Leadership Development and Professional training programmes I have commissioned and I would recommend her to anyone who is keen to get the best results.

Have you ever been compelled to action after a workshop or training session? I hadn’t, but then I met Cordelia. Cordelia led the NG Diverse Leadership Programme. I was a willing but jaded participant. Despite it being a remotely delivered programme, Cordelia made it come alive to me. Read more.
