Coach and Advanced OD Practitioner Training

Synthesising her experience as an organisational development consultant, executive coach and mediator Rho introduces dynamic approaches to working with individuals, teams and large groups that meet clients ‘where they’re at’. Committed to following the client’s needs and experience, rather than relying on static methods and techniques, she has a forensic interest in the transformative process in action.

Before working in the fields of leadership development and conflict facilitation, Rho’s early career in neuroscience and neurological rehabilitation, highlighted our human potential for resilience and the cognitive, social and emotional dimensions of learning and decision making. Through her studies in process oriented psychology, she deepened this capacity and developed approaches to working with change that find their roots in Jungian psychology, role and systems theory. Rho draws on these learnings to assist leaders and practitioners to cut through the ‘white noise’ of organisational life and change initiatives.
