The Team

Senior Associates and Enlightened Coaches

Ann’s corporate career spans a range of service organisations, which include Royal Mail - Royal Sun Alliance - Navy, Army, and Air Force Institutes (NAAFI)- and the NHS, where her experience is grounded in the impact on people during transition and transformational change. Leading change ‘with and through’ people has provided an insight into the way in which some resist change while others have the capacity to adapt to often traumatic life changes.

Ann’s most recent corporate role was Deputy Director of Transformation & Organisational Development at Royal Devon & Exeter NHS Foundation Trust, where she supported a significant programme of change in the redesign of all clinical services and support functions throughout the Trust.

An Associate for Corporate Soul Consulting and a ‘Bridging Minds’ Practitioner, Ann takes a creative approach in enabling individuals to move beyond ‘one-track thinking’, by accessing their insight and encouraging them to take inspired action, in order to achieve their full potential. With teams, Ann facilitates transformational change, strengthening relationships, and developing leadership and organisational capability.

After 10 years as an international, corporate lawyer working for leading law firms in London, Hong Kong and Singapore, illness forced Jane into a "crisis of transformation" and a deep personal and spiritual awakening.  Unleashing her entrepreneurial spirit, she set up her own legal training company.  Basing her business on enlightened business principles, the company was hugely successful, taking 40% of the market in under 3 months.  After selling her training business to a multinational corporation in 2001, Jane began working with others to guide them through their own transformations, to find the benefits of inner harmony and turn pain and struggle into joyful thriving.

An Associate for Corporate Soul Consulting, Jane takes a deeply compassionate and inspired approach to help people and businesses evolve from lack and limitation to vision, freedom and joy, so that they can awaken to their soul, shine their light, and live from a place where life has a deep sense of meaning and purpose.

Jane has worked within the IT Industry for over thirty years working in both the Private and Public Sectors. Her career has been based on delivering and enhancing the way IT is provided, focusing on the implementation of best practise. Having worked within both local authorities and organisations such as DHL and Ericsson, she recognises the need for managing stress effectively and the value of having a greater understanding of what life is truly about.

Reviews

"Karen is an extremely insightful teacher and her workshops are always an absolute pleasure. Since working with her my experience and attitudes about work have transformed in a very positive way. Despite working in the frantic world of investment banking, the Corporate Soul practices have instilled a real sense pf peace within me. It still amazes me how much 10 minute practices can shift things. They enable me to start and /or finish my day in a connected, expansive and calm state and that is no easy feat when life is also very demanding. This work is to be treasured. " Project Manager Investment Bank 

''I thoroughly enjoyed the Mindfulness and Meditation sessions Tara held.  After each session, I left the class feeling relaxed and more positive about my week ahead and how I was hoping to approach various situations.  Tara always made everyone feel most welcome and encouraged the group to discuss various common issues and experiences we had.  I particularly benefited from candle meditation and surprisingly I also enjoyed the chanting session we did. I now recognize the onset of potential stress and now control the episode by deep breathing, concentrating on clearing negative thoughts from my mind instead of allowing them to take hold."  Radiologist NHS

“I have found these techniques invaluable to calm myself down and focus.”

“Being a very busy professional and mum, transferring between these roles is not always smooth, meditation allows me to focus on the task at hand and my children notice how much calmer I am and in a nicer mood.”  Project Manager Pharmaceuticals
