ABOUT ME
About Rosebrook Advisory
Rosebrook Advisory provides strategic advice, policy and advocacy, government relations support to mission-driven and values-focused companies, non-profits and social entrepreneurs.
I can help at a time of structural or strategic change, to scope or start a new initiative, or to fill a gap in senior management. Bringing wide-ranging experience in public policy and advocacy in UK government and politics, the UN system, in foundations and NGOs, I can also support your organisation for between three months to one year to manage a function or project and the people who work in it.
Rosebrook Advisory has a track record of delivering professional coaching to individuals working to make a positive impact at local, national and international levels: in government and politics, NGOs and social enterprises, in international organisations, as well as in the corporate world. I support those wanting to gain clarity and direction around their professional and life goals, purpose and vocation; to improve or change an area of their working life (managing self, managing teams, managing up); accelerate their careers, improve work-life balance; or transition into another sector.
