Coaching and counselling psychologist and accredited cognitive behavioural psychotherapist. Membership Secretary of The ISCP

I am a consulting and coaching psychologist with a passion for using psychological science to make ambitious women more successful and fulfilled.  I bring to that passion expertise in constructive feedback, in managing dilemmas, and in enhancing communication.

As President of Humanly Possible® Inc. www.HumanlyPossible.com, I work with organizations, groups, and individuals to revitalize organizations, develop leaders, create high-performance teams, resolve conflicts, facilitate innovation, and promote change.  I work with both for-profit and not-for-profit organizations to improve performance, build community, and achieve results. 

My coaching psychology research focuses on the development of emotional intelligence and, most recently, on how to increase the effectiveness of constructive managerial feedback.  I have authored or co-authored more than 60 articles, book chapters, and presentations on people management, performance improvement, and emotional intelligence. 

I enjoy sharing my knowledge of management psychology, organizational change, decision making, and leadership with executives worldwide.  My career includes positions as Visiting Professor of Management at Duke University’s Fuqua School of Business, Visiting Associate Professor of Organisational Behaviour at the Melbourne Business School, Executive Coach and Corporate Training Manager for Accenture, Regional Manager for Medco Behavioral Care Services, and tenured Associate Professor of Psychology at Northern Illinois University.  I currently hold an appointment as Principal Fellow at the Melbourne Business School in Australia.

I am a member of the American Psychological Association, the Society of Consulting Psychology, the Association for Psychological Science, the Society for Judgment and Decision Making, the Association of Consultants to Nonprofits, and the International Society for Coaching Psychology.  I am licensed as a psychologist in the state of Illinois, USA.

I am a coach, coaching psychologist and supervisor (group and individual).  I spend my working time in and around organisations during changing times - in particular with key individuals as they transform themselves and work with others to transform situations around them.

I used to be a journalist and author; I still am an author and have written The Power of the Tale: Using Narratives for Organisational Success, contributed gestalt and ethics chapters to The Handbook of Coaching Psychology and Supervision in Coaching, and a variety of papers and presentations along the way, from 'What will you start when the stories stop?' to 'Sell your cleverness and buy bewilderment'. 

My practice is informed by the psychologies of narratives/ sense-making, complexity, gestalt and wisdom. Wisdom in corporate and coaching contexts is my current area of enquiry as an independent research-practitioner -- and a topic on which I am an invited speaker. I am director of Irving Allan change consultancy, mother of two young children, fan of the arts and crafts movement, BPS Ethics Committee member, and work with colleagues to raise the profile of  social justice, environmental sustainability and spiritual fulfilment in working contexts.
