Welcome to HRd Bristol. HRd Bristol was established in 2005 when colleagues Lisa and Sandra decided to join forces and form a consultancy that would enable them to fulfil their passion for developing people.
 


Together we have over 60 years’ experience of developing people through coaching and facilitation of learning which includes the provision of high quality ILM courses. During this time we have supported hundreds of people in leadership roles to develop. Over the last year or so we have decided to follow our passion and energy and shift our focus to concentrate on coaching.

As Level 7 qualified Executive Coaches, we provide much valued genuine and honest conversations for leaders and managers who wish to move forward in achieving their goals.

About Us

We are committed to working with our clients to assist them in identifying their business and development needs. Clients take and maintain ownership of their own business goals and we support and challenge, facilitate and advise along the path to achieving them.

Our Community and Social Impact

We are committed to using our skills in the wider community. We are coordinators for the Bristol and Bath branch of the EMCC and we both volunteer for charitable organisations, which includes mentoring schemes, group coaching and the facilitation of young people’s groups.

Reviews & Testimonials

Here's a snapshot of what's been said about us:

University of Bath

We are on Bath’s list of external coaches and have coached a number of managers to achieve their goals. Our relationship with Bath goes back to 2012 when we first started supporting them to develop their line management capability.

'...really good at providing stimulus to reflect on your own qualities and areas for development.'

ARAG

We have worked with ARAG since 2012 during which time we have developed a good knowledge and understanding of the leadership and management competencies needed in their niche market and have develop a range of learning and development interventions. We provide coaching sessions to the ARAG Management Team. The content of these are coachee-led and can range from how to best approach a management conundrum to personal development objectives.

‘the coaching programme designed to support key staff across the business has been extremely well received and appointments continue to ‘fly off the shelves.’

UWE

We have worked with UWE since 2005 working closely with the Staff Learning & Development Centre to develop people management capabilities. Since 2016 we have been on UWE’s list of external coaches and have supported a number of managers from Professional Services and Academic Services in their development via coaching conversations and 360 degree feedback.

‘I really got a lot our of our sessions, it gave me space and time to think about my next steps forward’.

‘the coaching session really helped me to reframe my thinking and find ways forward to build my mental toughness’

TLT

We worked with TLT to deliver part of their Partner Development Programme which focussed on building personal effectiveness and resilience. This included providing individual feedback to each of the partners, based on their completion of the MTQ 48 Mental Toughness questionnaire. A series of development days were then held which supported the partners in focusing upon their resilience as individuals and teams. The workshops provided valuable time for the partners to reflect and plan ways forward.

"This is the first time I have had such in-depth psychometric feedback and it has been really useful."

"The Mental Toughness report does reflect me and it is helpful to think through how I am coming across."

"It was good to take time out to think about my development."

University of Bristol

We have worked with various departments of the University of Bristol since 2011 when we were asked to develop and deliver a bespoke programme for IT Services Managers. During the last 6 years, we have had the pleasure of training a number of staff from various departments in the ILM Level 3 and 5 Coaching qualifications. In addition we provide ad hoc coaching on a one-to-one basis.

"I've gained more from this course than most I’ve ever undertaken and find regular reasons to keep applying the knowledge."

ILM External Verifier

"The centre has a very high standard of assessment. Assignments have excellent feedback for students that clearly show where they have excelled and areas for further development. Feedback from students has been excellent."
