Leadership Foundation

Ginnie is the Programme Director for key Leadership Foundation open programmes, Senior Strategic Leadership, Preparing for Senior Strategic Leadership, Leading Departments and Introduction to Head of Department. She acts as co director for Scotland and represents the Leadership Foundation on a number of UK-wide committees, and has provided in-house consultancy on a range of topics for a number of HEIs. She is also qualified to administer a number of diagnostic tools (including the Transformational Leadership Questionnaire, TLQ) which are key components of many programmes.

Ginnie joined the Leadership Foundation in 2007 following nine years as Director of Training and Development at the University of Stirling. Having previously worked at the University of Aberdeen and in the financial services sector, Ginnie is well-versed in the nuances of the Scottish higher educational sector and accustomed to working across diverse organisations at all levels. Whilst her professional interests are leadership and management development, her various roles have covered diversity and equal opportunities, organisation development and the implementation and management of change.
 

Paul has worked for many years designing and delivering training and consultancy across a wide range of public and private sector organisations to develop management, leadership and communications skills.

He had a successful career in Investment Management as a Director for Allianz Dresdner and continues to work as a consultant in the Financial Services Sector. He is also an experienced professional actor with a wide variety of stage and film credits.

His belief is that training should be engaging, based on sound theory and practical enough to give participants skills that will be immediately applicable in the workplace and beyond. He has found this approach to be particularly effective in the areas in which he specialises; interviewing, appraisal, feedback, coaching, conflict resolution, influencing, sales and negotiation for clients as diverse as the Legal Services Commission and Goldman Sachs.

Paul is an accomplished musician and singer and sings Bass harmony for ‘The Few’, a twelve voice cappella group who perform regularly in London.
