Meet the Team

Learning and development is what we do. Guiding and supporting people beyond what they thought possible is our passion.

Our approach is grounded, practical and proven.

We work with you to understand your priorities and we customise our unique learning and development solutions to best fit your needs. Our innovative solutions incorporate ‘best and next’ and are firmly founded in management and behavioural science.

Founded in 2002, Inez Consulting was created to provide learning and development programmes to help businesses succeed. We make a point of continuing our own learning and development to help us as individuals, and Inez as a company, succeed.

We share our knowledge and passion for great leadership with businesses around the world.

As a team, we’ve had the privilege of working with leading global companies in a broad range of sectors, including IT, media, defence, banking, engineering, retail, pharmaceutical, and telecommunications.

We work closely with clients to assess their specific needs, resulting in tailor-made solutions.

Each member of the Inez team brings their own leadership and professional experience to their work, combining practical business knowledge with current academic research.

We tap into ‘best and next’ thinking to raise levels of self-awareness, and trial new skills so that your business is ready to face any challenge in its path to success.

But most importantly, we believe it is essential to build capacity and capability in you – not dependence on us.

Our team of passionate facilitators and coaches are highly experienced in delivering corporate training programmes, workshops, coaching interventions and team development throughout the business world.

Our experienced professionals blend theoretical, educational and practical knowledge to design and develop interventions focused on your key learning needs. They work with industry leading practices to deliver real results back into your workplace.

Here’s a little bit about each of our team members.

We take on learning and seek out development partners to ensure we are up-to-date with what’s happening in our field.

As our consultants use several methodologies and tools for training, consultancy and coaching assignments they need to be qualified, too.
