Clare Sheridan
As a passionate believer in individual potential, much of my career has been shaped by the people-focused hospitality industry, where engagement and excellence go hand in hand.
Having worked in some of the most luxurious hotels in the UK and Europe, (after beginning my journey as a student and trainee in Singapore), I learned early that it is people who make the difference. This belief continues to guide my approach to learning and development, both in organisational roles and as a freelance consultant.
My work has included designing and delivering a wide range of learning interventions, shaping people-centred development strategies, with coaching being central to my work and a core element of the leadership and development programmes I have delivered for managers and senior leaders.

Coaching Style and Expertise
Whilst working in various Learning & Development and HR roles within hotels it became clear that leadership and performance coaching was my strength and continuing professional development programmes in the organisations with whom I have had the fortune to work has supported me in this direction.
My work, both being employed within in a company environment and as a freelance consultant, has allowed me to design, deliver and evaluate interventions with an international audience to support individual and group learning as well as build a development strategy to support business growth with people at its core.

Testimonials
“(sic) The coaching sessions made me think with clarity and methodologically what is challenging me and preventing me from progression. I thought about and what the next steps should be between the bigger milestones. In the sessions I made decisions and “commitments” to myself, about the next steps I need to take and what should be done by me or others for things to progress. I believe that the actions taken following these sessions were done faster because of the work done in together.”
“(sic) We have seen a change of behaviour that impacts general running of the department, adjustments to their approach, to the team members benefit and organization benefit, but need to be careful not to fall back in the old habits. There is great trust in Clare’s ability and her integrity, Clare checks in before the coaching sessions to check any observations will she very discreet imbeds in the coaching sessions.”
“Clare has demonstrated a highly methodical and emotionally intelligent way of working throughout each of these interactions and has left me in little doubt of the positive footprint she will leave on the candidates she coaches both in their professional and personal lives. Clare has great listening skills, strong empathy and can speak confidently on many subjects to relate to different circumstances. I have taken the liberty of approaching some of the candidates to whom Clare has coached in recent weeks, and the feedback has been overwhelmingly positive, and they feel confident they will be able to take some of learnings and really apply them in a meaningful way moving forward, rather than just words which don’t carry a practical meaning later.”
