Testimonials
‘I just wanted to really thank you both directly for such a refreshing, useful and illuminating course … I’m so thankful you decided to put something together based around all the things you’d wished someone had taught you. I very much needed to hear all of it and I’m looking forward to being a better manager for myself and my team. So thank you for your brilliant, honest advice and taking the time and effort to create something so effective.’
Heather Gallagher, Books Marketing Manager, Liverpool University Press
“Nancy is thoughtful, direct, and hugely experienced. She is a great coach and mentor for anyone looking to establish themselves as a senior leader, especially as a senior leader in the scholarly communications industry as she herself has held a number of senior roles before establishing herself as an entrepreneur and business owner. As a result of my working with Nancy I have strengthened my negotiation and communication skills, as well as my leadership and management skills. I can’t recommend Nancy enough.’
