Roger Clare
Consultant

Roger brings his skills as a facilitator, leader and manager to help individuals and organisations change, sustain, and improve their performance. His approach seeks both to understand the complexities of organisations and their situations, and to achieve simplicity of action. He believes that attending to the “simple” things- relationships, organisation, purpose- are the key to breakthroughs.

Roger has considerable experience in working with Boards, senior executives and all levels of many organisations in the UK and Europe. His interventions include consultancy, coaching, action learning, leadership development, and team building. He has devised and led many pioneering programmes in leadership and diversity, basing these on an integration of research evidence, coherent theory and practical personal experience.

In his varied career in the Probation Service as practitioner and manager he developed his skills in coaching a wide range of people to handle and improve in seemingly intractable situations. He has held several management posts in both service delivery and learning and development. In his last post he was Director of an innovative public/ private partnership, which delivered highly acclaimed leadership and organisational change programmes across the criminal justice, social care and voluntary sectors. He has lectured at the Institute of Local Government Studies at Birmingham University, and the Department of Criminology at Loughborough University.

Roger has a Masters in Human Resource Development, a Diploma in Performance Coaching, a Certificate of Qualification in Social Work and a BA in English. He is a Member of the CIPD and Association for Coaching.

“As Individuals and organisations we are at our most alive and most effective when we feel right, engage well with those around us and are working intuitively. Achieving that is the purpose of my practice.”
