Lucy Goode is a coach and business psychologist with a background in marketing and advertising. She helps people understand themselves, develop as leaders and work better together.

What I find hard: “When businesses put the onus on people to develop and cope without looking at what needs to change in the organisation.”

John is a facilitator and coach. He helps people and teams navigate change, discover what they are capable of and work better together.

What I find hard: “The idea that soft skills are ‘nice to have’. In the age of AI, they are the most important skills to develop.”
