Corporate clients and event organisers often ask me for a formal biography. I’m happy to share this here.
Tracy is a CNVC Certified Nonviolent Communication trainer; an empathy consultant; coach; movement and wellbeing, facilitator. Her life is dedicated to ‘inspiring authentic communication which generates, respect, care and unity – honouring who we are regardless of the challenges we face’.
She is one of the earliest advocates of what is now commonly known as ‘emotional intelligence’ for many years she rolled out pioneering change management programmes across education settings and family centres in over a dozen UK counties and London boroughs
Today, aside from pro bono work to support NVC in the UK, Tracy’s focus is in helping individuals, communities and organisations to feel empowered to create ‘cultures of empathy’ in which respectful cooperation and creative collaboration flourish.
Tracy works with organisations, delivering multiple empathy training based on the ideas in The Empathy Factor business book and Nonviolent Communication. This training has received positive outcomes for Business performance indicators like increased employee engagement, retention as well as retail sales.
She has a private coaching practice and leads courses and wellbeing retreats.
