Our team
Deborah Goodall – Facilitator and coach
My working life began in corporate communication and continues to be about helping individuals and organisations develop the vision, values and skills that allow for genuine communication and success in business.
Fascinated by the human ability to link mind to mind through the precision of language and the evocative nature of story, I am passionate about helping people apply these skills in a number of different work settings. They can then form deeper connections and drive greater progress at a personal, team, brand or organisational level.
I am a qualified coach, NLP Master Practitioner and a communications strategist and facilitator with expertise in change management and storytelling. Since 2001, I have helped hundreds of business leaders develop a compelling business story and a style that engages and attracts. My business background spans more than 20 years in law, industry, marketing services and in healthcare organisations. I was Head of Communications at Merck in the UK and MD of a specialist PR consultancy before moving on to work as a consultant, trainer and coach.
I have worked extensively in healthcare, marketing services, pharmaceuticals and technology with clients ranging from multi-national corporates to charitable foundations and owner-managed businesses.
I work with you to help you have the conversations that you most want.
Nicole Utzinger – International communications and leadership coach
I am an international communications consultant and coach, specialising in executive presence, employee engagement and storytelling in leadership. In the last 20 years I have worked with multi-diverse teams, bridging cultural gaps as well as designing, managing and delivering high-profile communications training, coaching and leadership development programmes across the EMEA region. My work has led to a number of notable culture shifts in multinational corporations across a range of industry sectors.
What drives me is my passion for people and for communication. I believe, each situation and challenge deserves a tailored approach and detailed attention, while embracing diversity and common sense at the same time. I work by combining my communications expertise, business experience and my coaching skills to achieve sustainable results. I am a Certified Co-Active Coach and hold a coaching diploma from CTI - Coaching Training Institute, accredited by ICF, International Coaching Federation.
I am quite at home delivering my coaching and client programmes in either English or German.
Adrian Goodall – Executive coach and facilitator
Throughout my career I have always enjoyed working with clients and colleagues to discover and create the best ways of moving forward to achieve results which work. In addition to the knowledge and skills involved in any role, that usually includes clarity of direction and strategy, decisiveness and confidence, strength, leadership and a willingness to do things differently.
I believe that the process of coaching is one of the most effective ways to build these qualities and actions in a way that is truly 'owned' by the client. I also know from my own experience just how powerful coaching can be in creating change.
My experience spans over 25 years in business, including 18 years in equity markets with Goldman Sachs, UBS and others, as well as senior management experience in industry and in venture funding. I am a member of the International Coach Federation having trained with Coaching Development.
Dr Sue Mayor – Medical journalist and facilitator
Sue works with us on communications development programmes for the healthcare and pharmaceutical sectors.
I am an experienced medical writer, editor and trainer and was recently voted UK Medical Journalist of the Year by the Medical Journalists’ Association. I have worked for 20 years in medical journalism and communications and currently combine ‘hands on’ medical writing – writing regularly for the British Medical Journal, where I was previously news editor, and for a wide range of pharmaceutical companies and other healthcare organisations – with training in writing and communications skills. I am trained in effective education, behaviour change and group work facilitation techniques.

I am a senior communications consultant with over twenty years' consulting experience.
During my career I have specialised in working with international organisations and have a wealth of experience running international teams and communications programmes for clients such as Microsoft, Dell, Panasonic, Nokia, Abbott and GE Healthcare.
