About me
Coach, facilitator, and Thinking Partner
Leadership and Culture Change Strategist
Founder Fulcrum Leadership Network
I began my career as a lawyer with a particular interest in sustainability, supporting pioneering campaigns on environmental justice. My interest in people and organisational culture led to a change in direction and I went on to study Organisational Psychiatry and Psychology and train as a coach. This combination of skills, coupled with experience of working at board level in complex organisations, operating under intense scrutiny, has given me rich insights into the challenges facing my clients.
I have now been supporting leaders and teams for over 20 years in both the public and private sector. My passion is creating inclusive environments where leaders are able to access the inherent wisdom, compassion and courage within themselves and in their teams, for the benefit of their organisation and society at large.
In 2011 I founded Fulcrum, a network for leaders from across sectors. Fulcrum gatherings create a space for leaders to be their authentic selves amongst the maelstrom that is public service.
"Mitzi is truly fabulous at what she does. After working alongside her, our key management meeting was much more inclusive and productive. We discussed a number of ‘meaty’ issues that previously might not have reached the agenda. We felt a sense of collective ownership and achievement and left the meeting feeling much more optimistic as to what we could achieve"
Nadine Bleasby, Former COO, NIHR Cumbria
I have been a Non-Executive Director in the NHS and an Ambassador with the influential International Integrated Reporting Council, a global coalition of regulators, investors, companies, and NGOs, transforming the way organisations do business through multi-capital reporting. My leadership programmes explore culture, governance, inclusivity and behaviours that help leaders to meet the needs, interests and expectations of all stakeholders in the short, medium and long term.
I am on the Board of Public Finance by Women and on the Faculty of the NHS’s Leadership Academy. I have an LLM in International Environmental Law (UCL) and an MSc in Organisational Psychiatry and Psychology (Kings). In 2010 I discovered Nancy Kline’s Thinking Environment approach and found myself drawn to its depth, seeing how it lifted teams, organisations, and individuals out of “stuckness”, creating environments where all can thrive. I now teach Nancy’s Time to Think Foundation course and Thinking Partnership Course and use this approach to create a deeply held space for my clients’ generative thinking and discovery.
