EXPERT COACHING AND CONSULTING

Navigate Uncertainty

'It has been invaluable to be challenged to think through things differently or to maintain perspective… I’m looking forward to continuing to grow as a leader, with help from the Springbrook Partnership. I’m trusting God to help me make the organisation I lead be the best it can be.’Executive Director Africa focussed missional ministry

Manage Change Well

We are now living through one of the most tumultuous and challenging times in human history. We have all come to realise that uncertainty is now the only certainty.

The Springbrook Partnership has built its professional reputation on helping our global clients navigate the storms of transition and uncertainty at key developmental stages in their careers.

None of us have all the answers. There is always more to learn, no matter what your sphere or area of expertise. Getting perspective, wisdom and encouragement from those who have gone before us can help unlock incredible personal development and empowerment.

Our professional values have been forged through years of good practice, not speculation. Our specialism is in creating connections between the now and the not yet; between the person you are now and the person you both want and need to become. Genuine transition and change doesn’t happen unless we actively prepare and plan for it. The Springbrook Partnership will help you understand your potential and actively map out how you can realise it.

Our Services

Bespoke Coaching

It’s tempting to think that we all navigate through life blindly. But the reality is that we’re each writing a map, charting where we’ve come from and indicating where we’re going. The aim of coaching at The Springbrook Partnership is to help you control your own map, giving you an understanding of your past and present journey, and helping you to set a direction for the future. Coaching offers the challenge to become more self aware, to take responsibility for your own development and to realise more of your own potential.

Consulting

There are times when we need someone to come alongside and help us to get unstuck, to help bring a fresh perspective and a step change to unlock powerful thinking. It is our privilege to be able to come alongside business owners and senior executives to help re-ignite their thinking and work through critical seasons of transition and organisational change. Also, to inspire and shape strategic thought, and to bring an injection of fresh energy to raising and equipping authentic leaders.

Organisational Coaching

The Springbrook Partnership work with globally active NGOs and organisations, helping them grow values-based leaders. Through conferences and bespoke programmes, this type of tailored coaching will help your organisation grow by investing in your biggest asset - your people.

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING

Endorsements of The Springbrook Partnership

‘I started the coaching journey tired and battle weary. I have found the team at Springbrook to be incredibly kind, patient and caring for my well-being as well as trying to explore what boundaries might look like for me as we navigate through significant change. Leadership can be lonely and I have welcomed the encouragement that the Springbrook Partnership has brought.’

CEO Major UK youth charity

Executive Director Africa focussed missional ministry

‘The Springbrook partnership has journeyed with me through some my greatest ‘successes’ and supported me during my most painful leadership season to date. Their ability to ask laser-sharp questions has enabled me to gain deep insights into situations I was facing. Their ability to do this with a pastoral heart has meant that even when the insights were challenging – painful even, the environment created was totally safe and my worth and identity totally affirmed.’

IAN SMITHDIRECTOR

Christine brings years of administrative and organisational management in the not-for-profit world, the NHS and latterly for the Police Service. Her values and work ethic have been forged in these worlds of public service and always seeking to put the client’s needs first.

From the inception of Springbrook, Christine has developed our strong relational values in supporting our clients and interpreting their requirements.

She is our Director of first impressions in terms of anchoring down appointments and making sure that our clients’ needs are fully understood. Specifically, the very diverse range of work that Eddie is called upon to do requires significant ingenuity, especially now that the practice supports a significant series of projects that are international and require timeline sensitivities.

As a Scot, married to an Irishman, Christine well understands cross cultural sensitivity. She has been married to Eddie for almost 40 years and they have one son and a miniature schnauzer called ‘Jonty’. Christine and Eddie are at their happiest enjoying dog walking, exploring the English, Cotswolds, where they live, and giving good hospitality.
