Case Study

We partnered with Plaid to deliver an Executive Coach, supporting a senior Learning & Development leader within their European business. The brief focused on providing tailored leadership coaching to enhance communication style, stakeholder management, and influencing skills within a highly collaborative and cross-functional environment.

Working closely with the individual and broader leadership context, we identified and introduced experienced executive coaches with relevant international exposure, particularly within US-headquartered organisations operating in Europe. The engagement was designed to support both immediate leadership development and longer-term impact, aligning with Plaid’s internal leadership programmes and people development initiatives.

Testimonials

Lorena Gonzalez - EU & UK People Partner at Plaid

"I have worked with Richard for the last 18 months. He was recommended by someone in my team when I was looking for agency support and they had amazing things to say about working with him.

When we started working together the recommendation made sense; he has been an absolute pleasure to work with. He will never put unnecessary pressure or force you to make decisions you're not ready to make, always listening and being patient and understanding our timings... I'll surely make sure I keep working with him wherever I go next! :)"
