Her skills range from Individual Executive, Professional and Life Coaching and Coaching Supervision through to the design and delivery of bespoke Interpersonal, Managerial and Team based learning.

Lynn specialises in facilitating the exploration of needs, motivations, desires, energy, skills and thought processes to assist the individual in making real, lasting change and reaching their full potential. She uses questioning techniques to facilitate a learners own thought processes in order to identify solutions and actions rather than taking a wholly directive approach.

In addition, her accreditation in the use of many profiling tools including the Herrmann Brain Dominance Instrument, Belbin Interplace, Transactional Analysis, Firo B, Thomas International and Myers Briggs Level 1 & 2, means that the Training/Coaching package is complemented and complete.

She has been studying psychology, neuro-science, communications, systems thinking, cybernetics, NLP, hypnotherapy, EFT, solution-focused psychotherapy, martial arts, metaphysics, philosophy and healing for many years.

Chris Monk
Chris MonkChris has a stimulating background that includes among other things having served 17 years with the Royal Navy & Royal Marines, played semi-professional rugby union and dangled off most cliff faces in South West England at one time or another! Chris was the driving force behind a visionary and groundbreaking coaching initiative in the British Armed Forces which has led to significant culture change while maintaining world-class operational effectiveness and highly respected standards.
Chris has worked with senior and middle managers & teams in the UK, USA and Europe. He has worked recently with the Ashridge Business School, England RFU, Everest, Westland Helicopters, BCWA, NHS National Services Scotland, the former Salisbury FE College and the Centre for Excellence in Leadership (CEL).
Now working as a cultural transformation facilitator and leadership coach, Chris’s passion and focus lies in facilitating deep dialogue to help people, teams and organisations to discover their core purpose, mission and shared values. Working with a range of clients he has found that such a process helps to create a sense of meaning around work and, as a result, a much stronger emotional connection within the workplace. He has found that leaders can enhance this process even more by encouraging their people to share in creating an energising vision for the future. Discovering the spirit and energy within an organisation in this way is a powerful mix for maximising sustainable organisational performance by releasing the energy and creative potential that lies within.
Chris is an Ashridge Business School accredited Executive Coach, and uses both ‘non-directive’ and ‘solutions-focused’ styles of coaching. Academically, Chris is a visiting lecturer (2008) at Bristol University, and has an MBA that he achieved through distance learning while holding down a full-time job (no laughing matter!). In addition he is an NLP Master Practitioner and an Advanced PER-K™ (Performance Kinesiology) facilitator.
