“Talent is not a rare commodity, it is simply rarely released. Each individual in every organization has a personal choice; do I buy into this organization and really give of my best, or do I play on the sidelines?” says Kaye Thorne who is an expert coach, consultant and author of various books on talent, coaching and creativity. She passionately believes in helping individuals to fulfill their potential.
Kaye's CV reads like a ‘Who's Who” of the FTSE 100 , much of her experience has been in corporate organizations, acting as a sounding board to senior managers and Directors, but at the end of the day she says it all comes down to individual people. “All the work I have done is ultimately about helping organizations to engage with their employees and helping them to either handle change, or to offer a better service to their customers.” She is a leading expert in developing employer brands, and she also enjoys working with entrepreneurs and start up businesses. One of the big challenges for new businesses is identifying their core offer, and promoting this to their potential customers. She has also developed a number of profiles, including Motivation to Change, Innovation 3 Ò , and a new one she is currently developing about talent.
Whether in a corporate organization, or a sole trader Kaye can help you in identifying your personal vision and ambition; recognising what you do really well, and what you need to develop. She can help you find ways of increasing your motivation, how to create presence, how to influence and build effective business relationships.
“We started our business last year with some good ideas of how to get where we wanted to go. Six months into it, meeting Kaye was like finding a long-lost relative. Her comprehensive understanding of our situation and our industry has been an inspiration and her advice has given us invaluable direction as we undertake bigger and more creative projects"
Kaye's style is very reassuring, practical and down to earth, she helps people develop self-belief and can offer 1-1 coaching, group facilitation, telephone coaching and email support.
