Leadership Luminary

Alec Nicholls

Workout Specialist

Alec loves to focus on practical-based learning – doing it rather than just talking about it.

Over 16 years he has built a wealth of experience in the private and public sector as a facilitator and coach, offering communication skills development through practice. He continues to work as an Actor with many TV, Film and theatre credits. He applies many of those skills providing support, development and feedback to help people build on their personal impact and style.

As Alec says: ” performers will rehearse, athletes will train, and musicians will practise. Everyone in their particular field of work can take the opportunity to prepare in the same way.”

After 20 years living under the Heathrow flight-path Alec and his family now live in the countryside. He spends a lot of his time in wellies and is resisting the temptation to carry a stick with him when in the city. Local farmers still refer to him as ‘townie’.

Caroline Marsh

Psychological & Inclusivity Innovator

Caroline is an experienced L&D and DEI consultant, coach and Behavioural Scientist, with a focus on improving psychological safety and inclusion and enabling creativity.

Her goal is to build organisations where people want to be. Where rising anxiety on a Sunday at the thought of work the next day isn’t the norm. Where everyone gets to be themselves, do their best work and build a life that works for them.

She is passionate about using an evidence based, agile approach to researching and developing genuinely inclusive workplaces. Having spent a long time in Talent and L&D teams in global organisations she deeply understands the challenges facing people.

She has extensive experience working with HR teams and business leaders to meet these challenges; whether it is to develop a more inclusive recruitment process (without losing momentum), coaching Senior Managers to develop greater psychological safety within their teams or building performance management approaches that motivate and develop people.

In support of her commitment to practical, applicable research Caroline conducts independent research and regularly speaks at industry events on topics like Psychological Safety, taking an Evidence Based approach to HR.

Caroline lives in the mountains just outside Barcelona, where she moved from London in 2019, loves travelling (when allowed), keeps chickens and is working on her Spanish.

Simon Dickins

Motivational Evangelist

A 20-year career in sales, sales management and recruitment within Financial Services and Media kept Simon mulling over the oft observed career conflict between money and meaning.

With his curiosity getting the better of him, he turned his back on his corporate life in 2016 and dedicated himself to helping companies to retain and engage their best people, specifically through a deep understanding of motivation and its relationship to people-centric leadership and performance.

Simon holds a First-Class business degree from the University of Salford, is a Certified Practitioner of Neuro-Linguistic Programming and a Licensed Practitioner of Motivational Maps.  A passion for cycling means that Simon owns a dangerous amount of Lycra, and when not in the saddle he enjoys helping his wife to manage the conflict between his young boys!
