Develop your people's passion, performance and productivity
Growth solutions that develop resilient, high performing individuals
Jacky Leonard
Learning & Development Consultant
I've been fortunate to work across sectors with smart, interesting and driven people who are passionate about offering services that make a difference to others.
I have a background in leisure management and have played integral business development roles, creating new programmes, communication strategies and quality management systems. Often acting as a trouble shooter for under performing businesses, I've developed a reputation for having a personable, supportive, yet challenging approach, getting to the heart of the issue and creating cost effective, practical, sustainable solutions.
I gave up a proper job (my brother's words, not mine) over 14 years ago and have worked as a freelance L&D professional since.
My focus areas
Designing and delivering behaviour skills interventions, that help clients develop relevant and practical coping strategies to thrive in a VUCA world.
Supporting businesses to turn principles into profit by delivering values led experiences that encourage more people to use more of your services, more often.
Coach /Trainer Education - Empowering new and jaded learning practitioners to develop success habits, walk their talk and take ownership for their own continual improvement to better challenge and support their clients.
I primarily work with individuals and companies that can best be described as wanting to do well, by doing good, including The Royal Lifesaving Society, Sainsbury's, Sport Wales, NHS, Co-op travel, Discover Momenta and PSS.
I am a member of the CIPD and Institue of Customer Service; and a Trainer with The Coaching Academy.
My philosphy is all about putting people first, so you'll always get a bespoke, client focused service.
Jacky was instrumental in the production and delivery of a bespoke management training package that has effectively met our corporate training needs.

Create a Learning Habit
The success of your organisation is essentially the sum of its habits. It's a product of what your people repeatedly do. Success isn't a knowledge problem. Your team are likely to know what to do, but are they consistently doing it? Implementing small, positive daily actions have a cumulative effect and get you organisation closer it's goals.
Learning In The Flow
Learning isn't just a formal process. In fact, much of what you learn is achieved through daily experiences. Support your team's journey by creating opportunities to optimise learning with regular practical interventions to improve performance, productivity and profits.
