Jackie Draper

Jackie's background has been as a senior manager in the public sector and an occupational advisory service. She brings a combination of operational service experience, policy background, social commitment and values. As a consultant she has many years experience working in the private, public and not-for-profit sectors and believes that this spread of experience enhances her effectiveness.

Her expertise lies in the fields of culture change, organisation development, equality and diversity, coaching and leadership development. Her clients have come from financial services, telecommunications, Local Authorities, Civil Service and the NHS. Jackie has worked at the Open University Business School and Roffey Park Management Institute as a tutor on their Sussex University accredited MBA programme as well as their strategic leadership and personal effectiveness and power programmes.

Jackie is qualified in the use of psychometrics and believes that combining this with her experience of organisation change processes and an understanding of differing work cultures has led to her success in enabling individuals to act powerfully in their specific work contexts. Her focus is to design learning initiatives that take an appreciative perspective and lead to sustainable change at the business, team and personal levels.

Jackie has a Post graduate Diploma in Action research from Bath University.
