Individual psychological assessments: Glen has worked with many directors, senior and middle managers and professional staff, profiling their strengths and development areas, in selection, promotion, development and succession planning situations.
Assessment and Development Centres: Glen is an experienced assessor who has designed and implemented many assessment and development centres. She prefers to use a tailored “scenario” approach, often with the help of actors, to ensure relevance and enjoyment for all participants.
Competency frameworks: Glen has worked in partnership with many clients to create a user friendly competency framework, based on identifiable company values, which greatly facilitates effective performance review, selection, development and succession planning.
Training design: Glen has designed and delivered numerous training courses for a wide range of clients on psychometric testing, conflict management, stress management, emotional intelligence and assessment techniques.
Team development: Glen has worked with teams as diverse as company directors, nuclear energy inspectors, architects, engineers and geriatricians, helping them cohere, identify and meet their organisational and personal goals, and improve both their efficiency and their working lives.
Conflict management: Glen is a skilled mediator and has successfully helped many dyads and teams understand each other better and work more harmoniously and effectively together.
Stress management: Glen has designed and implemented stress management systems for a range of clients, and has run many workshops for groups of managers and staff to help them identify and cope with the signs of stress.
Glen lives with her partner and their dog in East Sussex, and tries to see as much as possible of her daughter and grandchildren in Norway, her son and her friends. She volunteered (unsuccessfully) as an astronaut when she was 40, climbed Mount Kinabalu when she was 50, and is still planning how to celebrate the next milestone.
