Straight talking and informal with a great sense of humour, Carrie herself is driven and insightful.

Carrie Birmingham
No two challenges are the same. Carrie’s bespoke approach digs deep to find the root of your issues, not just the symptoms. With a background in organisational change and psychology, Carrie brings a depth of expertise that goes beyond traditional HR consulting, Crisis Comms and Employment Law. Carrie has a proven track record with CEOs, HR directors, Founders and organisations facing severe internal issues, conflict and loss of productivity that goes along with leaders not fully tapping into their potential. Carrie’s qualifications include:
- Masters in Organisational and People Change
- Master executive coach, facilitator and gestalt practitioner, helping to navigate complex human dynamics
- Qualified in the use of diagnostic tools (MBTI, OPQ, Voiceprint, Hogan) to enable personal awareness
- NLP business practitioner using somatics to develop leadership in both body and mind
- CIPD registered.
Carrie’s sense of humour means that she enjoys having an inappropriate giggle with friends, family and clients. Carrie is a keen cook, mother of two dogs who loves walking, camping and yoga.
Carrie brings a wide and diverse skill set to multiple people problems that arise through most business channels. Be it acquisition all the way through to transformational consulting. I’d urge anyone who has projects or problems that relate to solving people issues to get her involved.
