I have positively navigated the hierarchy of academic life and know what it takes to be a successful leader

ACADEMIC CONSULTANCY

While working in successful organisations, life can feel complex and ever changing. Higher education, health, industry and voluntary sectors can be very demanding environments and can often result in feelings of being overwhelmed and unable to find the time to maintain the quality outputs required.

I bring my extensive experience and knowledge of strategy and leadership development, management, mentorship, capacity building and supervision. I also have significant knowledge and experience of leading large organisations to achieve a positive culture and an equal, diverse and inclusive environment. 

Marion Walker Executive Coach & Consultancy

"When I suggested Marion as potential external reviewer for our Research Excellence Framework submission, I wasn’t sure whether she would accept.  It is a very demanding and time-consuming role, that requires impartiality, as well as expert knowledge and insight.  Whilst Marion’s immediate enthusiasm was heartening, it has been her actual input that has been astounding.  She has reviewed literally dozens of papers, provided detailed and exceedingly useful feedback on our environment statement, and has done all of this with little notice, achieving our demanding timeframes.  I can’t imagine getting better advice and support, and all in a very meticulous and professional manner."
