Leading coaching consultancy joins Space Park Leicester
A consultancy which has been designing and delivering leadership and coaching programmes for more than two decades has joined Space Park Leicester.
Jones Consulting – and its team coaching arm True Team – worked with the University of Leicester and its £100m space research and innovation hub, Space Park Leicester, to pilot the Women Leading in Space & STEM development programme.
It has also delivered coaching and skills workshops for Space Park Leicester and, over the next six years it will provide professional development workshops to prepare nine doctoral students at Space Park Leicester for leadership and a career in the space sector, as part of the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) Doctoral Focal Award in Humanity and Space.
Jones Consulting Managing Director Deborah Jones, who is an International Coaching Federation Professional Certified Coach, said:
“I’ve attended Space Park Leicester networking meetings for years and following the establishment of the University of Leicester’s Leverhulme Centre for Humanity and Space at Space Park Leicester, and my collaboration supporting future AHRC doctoral students, I saw an opportunity to add value to the Space Park Leicester community.
“Having a base at Space Park Leicester will allow us to attend community and networking events, work alongside space companies, keep up to speed with the latest thinking and developments in the sector and tailor our training and coaching offer so that it supports innovation.
“Being here, alongside Leverhulme fellows, doctoral students, and the companies on site, means our coaching and training will stay genuinely relevant to the challenges people are actually facing in the space sector.”
Space Park Leicester Head of Commercial and Innovation, Vinay Patel, said: “We’re delighted to welcome Jones Consulting and True Team to Space Park Leicester.
“Prior to working with us, Deborah had worked with the University of Leicester to design and deliver the highly successful Women Leading with Purpose programme which helped more than 100 academic and professional women to develop in their careers. Deborah is also part of the University of Leicester’s coaching pool, coaching senior executives in a variety of roles across the University.
“Jones Consulting has extensive experience of delivering systemic team coaching, leadership training, and one-to-one executive coaching to diverse, cross-disciplinary communities, which makes it a natural fit for Space Park Leicester.”
