Special Offer!

Half price fees for people out of work or facing redundancy. When you loose your job, you loose your community of the workplace as well as so much else; joining a group is therefore an ideal and cost effective way to access coaching and to stay positive and resourceful - with the support of others.

Profile:

Working Edge groups are the place to:

• increase effectiveness, success and satisfaction at work
• talk through challenges, decisions and choices
• improve relationships
• manage stress
• explore our work-life balance
• consider the demands of portfolio careers
• manage the experience of working from home
• plan career changes or returning to work
• explore fresh ideas and new perspectives
• draw on the expertise and experience of others

Kathy Gale and Harriet Spicer run focussed and carefully managed groups of up to eight people from a wide range of professional backgrounds to explore and enhance their working lives. They all have the opportunity to talk through challenges, choices and decisions; career plans and aspirations; strategies and ideas.

‘Working Edge offers excellent opportunities to identify solutions that helped me face varied challenges in my work. Group members were very supportive and I was given lots of encouragement that helped me produce immediate results and ways forward in my career’.

This quote from a member of one of our groups describes exactly what it is that we hoped for when we started Working Edge. At the heart of our work is a commitment to enabling people to get the most they can from working life, to clarify what it is they most want to achieve and to achieve the greatest possible benefits for themselves, their companies or organizations.

We hold Working Edge groups throughout the year – in sets of 5 and 6 meetings, from 6.30-9.30 with good breaks in between.

Kathy Gale and Harriet Spicer

Both of us have run successful publishing companies, worked in the public and private sectors and have undertaken extensive training in personal development work.

We share a real enthusiasm for working with people to develop their personal and professional potential and set up Working Edge: Professional Support for Working People in 2007.

I have been involved in the establishment and growth of several influential organisations and have developed a keen interest in the way people can get and give the best they can from and to their work. I was a founder member of the women's publishing house, Virago Press, working there for over twenty years, as Managing Director for much of that time. I was Chair and Commissioner at the National Lottery Commission when it was first set up and am currently a lay member of the Judicial Appointments Commission.
