Andrew Marston
Background and Work Experience II have worked in senior HR roles in local government and the Police Service (GMP) as part of the senior leadership team in the strategic management of the organisation. I lead major change programmes and leadership and organisational development initiatives. I am now an independent HR Consultant and Coach working in Local Government, Health Service, Policing, Universities and Housing Associations. I am a Chartered Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Personnel Development (CIPD) and have a Postgraduate Diploma in Business Studies.
I have undertaken Management Team coaching, trained managers in coaching skills in the workplace, and run workshops and seminars on how to use coaching in leadership development.
Approach I was trained using a ‘solutions focused’ approach and, having studied for the Diploma in Performance Coaching. I apply a wide range of coaching techniques to ensure that I adopt the most appropriate approach to meet the client’s needs. I am able to help clients to clarify goals and develop realistic action plans which they own. My extensive executive experience provides insight and understanding of the challenges they face and helps them to build confidence and capacity. I love to see people grow and develop through coaching and feel privileged that I have been able to nurture and support their progress. My style of coaching is informal and non directive which largely assumes that the individual’s experience is the key to future development rather than mine. I am able to coach successfully outside of my area of professional knowledge and expertise by adopting an approach which is detached from the professional problems and helps the individual to focus on resolving their issues most effectively through a range of techniques and questions appropriate to the situation.
I am an experienced and accredited Coach and Mentor, holding the NCFE Diploma in Performance Coaching and Associate Membership of the Association for Coaching. My Coaching style is very much “solutions focussed” building on what the individual already knows and does well to create small steps and improvements towards their goals.
Experience of Coaching I have coached serving Police Officers, Directors in Local Government, NHS, Housing Association and Higher Education. I hold the Diploma in Performance Coaching and I am accredited by the Association for Coaching. I continue to develop my coaching though study, practice and supervision.
