Annie Medcalf
Consultant

By helping individuals and teams articulate and realise their goals, Annie Medcalf contributes to the health and success of the whole organisation. She calls her style, ‘a fusion of support and challenge with an interesting ‘dollop’ of creativity’. It’s all about getting people to stretch themselves, to go beyond self-imposed limits.

Her most recent assignment is with the Department for International Development in Zambia, where she has been supporting the organisation as it goes through a process of diagnosing strengths and priorities for the next stages of development. A key part of this was facilitating the senior team in creating a vision for growth. She also provided managers and advisors with individual coaching to develop their skills and aims.

Annie also has considerable experience in the development and planning of training strategies. She recently collaborated with a multi-national research centre to develop a programme that directly contributes to the global business plan. A key feature of this work was supporting the internal consultants in its development.

She is passionate about supporting people in realising their potential and this has naturally led to a range of coaching assignments. She currently works with the senior team at the National Probation Service in North Yorkshire to enhance leadership capability and build a team of leaders for the future. She also mentors school girls, helping them to see what they can achieve and to make it happen.
