Caroline Sullivan

Skilled at building ‘thinking partnerships’ based on trust, Caroline focuses on helping individuals to get the most from their work and deepen their impact as current or emerging leaders. Her experience has taught her that providing safe places to think, plan and reflect increases self-knowledge, understanding of others and alignment to innate strengths. This brings further benefits of being more able to steer a career in directions that are rewarding and fulfilling.

Joining a ‘top 5’ global law firm as a paralegal and leaving as a senior consultant, Caroline managed projects that spanned Europe and Asia for 8 years. After qualifying with an M.A. in Human Resource Management she then worked for 5 years as an HR and then L&D manager. Through this she gained valuable insights into the challenges and complexities faced by organisations through a people focused lens.

Since 2006 she has led management and leadership programmes for a variety of corporate cultures including Lloyds Bank, Bank of England, Financial Conduct Authority, Hanley Building Society, KPMG, BDO, Blick Rothenburg, Forvis Mazars, European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA), Bank of England (PRA), ICAEW, BP, CIPD, Wiley Publishing, Navigators Marine Insurance, McLaren, Macmillan, Teenage Cancer Trust and Neopost, a global supplier of business communications. She has worked closely with Channel 4 since 2015 providing coaching and 360 feedback sessions for senior leaders; designing and delivering several team development initiatives across the business and monthly coaching clinics.

She combines experience, pragmatism and creativity to create enjoyable and productive development environments. Those coached by Caroline report appreciation for her warmth, perception and ability to provide the right level of challenge with humanity, heart and humour. Benefits they experience include increased resilience, clarity, resourcefulness and the ability to remove mental and emotional blocks to performance. This can be especially useful when navigating personal transitions as well as leading organisational change.
