Natalie Bell (she/her)

I've had the pleasure of working with Helen since 2016 in her capacity as executive coach to the leadership and management team at Major Players. She has provided invaluable support through a period of considerable growth, through one to one coaching, manager training and development, and the delivery of bespoke leadership assessment/potential and feedback programmes. Engaging, open minded and wise, with unquestionable integrity, I can't recommend Helen highly enough.

The sessions with Helen gave me time to step back and look in. She gave me ideas on how to deal with situations I had put myself in and gave me confidence to manage upwards, having difficult conversations. She also made me realise that it was ok not to do everything and if anything, that wasn’t going to be positive for me or the business. She helped me prioritise my work and what focus I needed. She helped set short and long term goals. Helen is an excellent coach and mentor and someone I trust implicitly. She builds confidence and allows me to think strategically not only about work but how to manage the balancing act of being a full time working mum and working wife.

      At Inclusivity our services include 121 and group coaching programmes for returners, development coaching for leaders to drive diversity and inclusion, delivering end to end bespoke return to work programmes and consulting for diverse talent acquisition. Our aim is to partner with businesses to put inclusion at the heart of development and talent acquisition - and to provide a personalised service for women and men looking to reinvigorate or re-establish their careers. At Inclusivity, clients can talk freely and openly with a coach or consultant who understands their position and will work passionately with them to achieve their goals. We understand what it’s like to scale back, to leave the work place altogether, or to take on work for which you are overqualified simply to fit with competing priorities. We have experienced the feeling of being part of a leadership team - and yet feeling alone because you think differently, behave differently or face different challenges and demands in your life. We have spent time with many well educated, experienced men and women who have struggled to fulfill their career potential because they fall outside the norm. Show less
