Founder and Team Designer in Chief at ThisTeamWorks
Annabel Purves
I have coached many teams and professionals over the last 20 years, but I have been thinking about human behaviour my whole career.
I can offer you and your teams my soft skills expertise, objectivity and wisdom, with a side serving of toughness when necessary. I am committed to having deep, productive working partnerships with all of my clients. I also like it to be fun too.
By tailoring our team development approach to my client’s individual needs, I am able to generate high levels of engagement, challenge teams and leaders to grow their capabilities and develop new highly effective behaviours to achieve greater success.
I am accredited by Henley Business School and the Association of Coaches. All my approaches are evidence based, using the latest research to coach clients in techniques that produce lasting improvement and change.
Before starting my coaching career I spent 15 years in the marketing,
media and consultancy sectors, rising to become a senior team executive at the BBC. I bring my own executive experience to all my coaching - although I wish I knew then what I know now about
teams and high performance environments!
Most of the team development work I do is done with one of my wonderful associate colleagues.
Having been in coaching for a long time now, I have a large network of associates and bring
in those who I feel will fit best with each of my client’s needs.
