Kirsty McCarthy

Over the last 10 years, she has led the design and delivery of countless development programmes in a wide variety of organisations. She has worked in most major industrial sectors, as well as the public sector. She has a track record of achieving measurable results and has done this by:

• Devising and delivering an array of blended leadership development programmes across the breadth of organisations – often spanning continents. These have covered a vast range of topics, though they usually involve a focus on achieving increased levels of resilience, self-awareness, and personal effectiveness over time.
• Designing onboarding programmes for ambitious and complex organisations.
• Facilitating focus groups and other forms of organisational research, to help leaders understand their people better and/or solve specific challenges.
• Coaching individuals at all levels of organisation, as they deal with a variety of personal objectives, e.g. transitioning to a new role; dealing with challenging personal and/or professional circumstances; making important decisions; exploring own beliefs and barriers; exploring a new career direction.

Kirsty studied at the University of Oxford and has a BA and MA in Experimental Psychology. She also has an ILM Level 7 Certificate in Executive Coaching & Mentoring from the British School of Coaching.  

She is accredited for a number of psychometric tools, including PROPHET Executive Profiling; EQ-I 2.0 & EQ 360 Emotional Intelligence; NEO-PI-3 Personality Inventory; Hogan Business Reasoning Inventory.
