Claudine Charles
MSc in Human Resources Development
Claudine is an accredited Executive Coach and Level 4 Workplace Needs Assessor, who’s passionate about supporting people to operate at their best. She has extensive experience working with employees and leaders with ADHD, autism, dyslexia, dyspraxia, and dyscalculia, as well as those exploring their neurodivergence at work for the first time, partnering with clients to help them reflect on their strengths, challenges, and opportunities at work. She supports clients to gain insight into how they can adapt their ways of working, build on the strengths associated with their neurotype, and develop practical workplace strategies to improve their performance and wellbeing.
Claudine thrives on creating a safe space for clients to be comfortable and transparent, where they can work through any challenges or capitalise on a change or opportunity. She strongly believes that people are “response-able”, whole and creative, so she regularly partners with clients to support them in leveraging their strengths, unravelling any limiting beliefs, identifying practical workplace adjustments, as well as “holding up” and simplifying their options, resources, and possibilities. Claudine uses a range of coaching styles and methodologies with clients based on their needs, goals and preferences. As a result, clients find her warm, authentic, supportive, encouraging, open, frank and highly skilled in her area of expertise.
When Claudine is working at her best, her clients describe her as warm, authentic, supportive, encouraging, open, frank, resilient, and knowledgeable.
Claudine has spent almost two decades working with corporates across the private, public and international sectors as a coach, organisational development consultant, and facilitator. She has worked with employees in front-line roles through to senior leaders and C-suite stakeholders across around 15 business industries, with a particular focus on neurodiversity, workplace inclusion, and reasonable adjustments. The client organisations she’s worked with include (but are not limited to) QatarEnergy, the National Midwifery Council, Anthony Nolan, Thomson Reuters, UK Civil Service, Homes England, SCS Railway (with HS2 – Europe’s largest Rail Construction project), Tapestry, Colt Technology Services, Oaktree Financial Services, Orsted, BAM Construction, Ahold Delhaize – Giant Foods, United Nations agencies, and UK National Health Services.
