People first, always
Every programme starts with the people in the room rather than a slide deck. What matters is the conversation they have not been able to have yet.
Values and experience
Why this work matters
Helen has worked in leadership development and coaching since 2005, after senior commercial and people roles at Whitbread and InBev. The values below shape every piece of work.
Background
Commercial experience, then a deliberate change of direction
Before setting up independently in 2005, Helen held senior roles at Whitbread plc, the Whitbread Beer Company and InBev. That grounding in busy commercial organisations still shapes how the work is delivered: pragmatic, focused and free of jargon.
Since then she has worked with more than thirty organisations, from small owner led businesses to large international groups, delivering leadership development, skills training and one to one coaching both face to face and virtually.
Helen is qualified in MBTI, FIRO B, NLP and Coaching. She also serves as a non executive board director and volunteers as a coach and mentor.
What guides the work
Bespoke, never off the shelf
Nothing is lifted from a catalogue. Each workshop and coaching series is designed around your context, your language and the outcome you need.
Confidential without exception
Coaching conversations stay between the two people having them. Nothing is reported back to an employer or sponsor without explicit agreement.
Practical above theoretical
Models are only useful when they change what happens on Monday morning. Everything is tested against real situations people are living with now.
Client voices
What people say afterwards.
Every quote below is from a client of Helen Fraser, shared without attribution because coaching conversations are confidential. No scores, no stars, no marketing gloss.
Helen really listened and understood what we are trying to achieve as an organisation and as a team. The workshops were fun, engaging and delivered beyond our expectations.
Thank you for the coaching, it has made my working life just so much easier. Everyone in the organisation should do this training.
My self awareness is now so much higher than before, I feel really positive about the way forward now, thank you.
A highly practical and enjoyable session resulting in a set of skills that I can use both in and outside work! I wish I had known some of this stuff 10 years ago!
Helen is able to build rapport and engage with people at all levels.
Helen has coached and supported me personally through some challenging moments in my work and home life and her ability to listen with compassion and to genuinely work at empowering you to find your own meaning and solutions is exceptional.
