She knows what it is like to juggle the challenges of a busy career and parenthood and says it can be done without anyone losing out and without beating yourself up in the process. Joanna worked for a major financial institution for over 30 years during which time she gained unparalleled experience through a number of challenges in the industry and is well placed to recognise the importance of resilience in both self and others. Over more recent years, Joanna took the opportunity to further diversify her career and like Andrew, regards herself as a business person first and a lawyer second. She continues to parachute into corporate assignments as she enjoys the challenge of trouble-shooting and fixing. She is passionate about people development and making sure that people not only have the right tools to do the job but feel empowered to make a difference. Joanna has held a number of senior roles, formed and managed many teams over diverse locations so knows how important team dynamics are and how to make them work. She has an honours degree in philosophy and psychology and has developed and delivered a number of programmes that help inspire people to bring out the best in themselves. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed63b1a31d7f06aef2cc433/1591117269663-L5M3A0GIUHTT1UC4911Z/image1.jpeg About Us - Andrew Winfield Biography After qualifying as a solicitor, specialising in real estate and private client work, Andrew became an equity partner at the tender age of 30 but after realising that equity partnership wasn’t quite as equitable as he thought it would be he set up his own law firm in the summer of 1987. Five years later he was approached by two other lawyers who liked what he had done and together they set up a boutique law firm which steadily grew to a firm of 126. Owning and running businesses over the years has meant that whilst being a highly successful lawyer Andrew has always regarded himself as a businessman first and when the opportunity arose to take a senior leadership role in a major bank he jumped at it. This experience fuelled his passion for coaching, mentoring and developing both teams and individuals and helping them understand and realise their full potential. Always with an eye to the future, Andrew incorporated Excelcium Consulting Limited as a means of enabling him to realise his vision of setting up his own management consultancy business and a few years later, after another people development role in financial services, he started utilising his many years of experience to advise boards and the senior management teams of SMEs on team and personal development and also other operational aspects relevant to the running of their businesses. Andrew has a passion for helping people thrive and is fascinated by neuroscience. He has delivered many thought provoking sessions to groups both large and small in small businesses and large corporates. All his sessions are highly factual, based on hours of research but more importantly, engaging and memorable. https://www.excelciumconsulting.co.uk/home daily 1.0 2020-08-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed63b1a31d7f06aef2cc433/1593974925308-3C1JMRZKFEWXXORZ03SU/Screen+Shot+2020-07-05+at+7.47.19+pm.png Home - What We Do Excelcium offers a large range of training and business-critical skills but also practical advice and support in helping you run aspects of your business.

Technical competence on its own is not enough to help you rise to the top; you need that extra "it factor”. First impressions are critical and you need to show that you understand your audience, that you're self-aware, confident and energetic. You have control over how you appear so use that power! Good communicators know that the actual words you use only play a small role in your impact. It's also about how you communicate both visually and verbally, how you speak and how you act. You can't control events but you can choose how to react to them; this session demonstrates how emotional intelligence has become the most valuable asset in any workplace. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed63b1a31d7f06aef2cc433/1592927986052-CHPIRGVXLFF7XP383AJG/iStock-1157146389.jpg About - Leadership What is the difference between management and leadership? Do you have to have a team of people to be a leader? It has been said that leaders are the architects and managers are the builders but what does this really mean? There are so many different leadership models and theories out there but which ones really work and what's behind it all? This session focuses on what makes an inspiring and effective leader and how to establish good followship. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed63b1a31d7f06aef2cc433/1592927923050-DCAZV5HU45K209SZJ550/iStock-492800345.jpg About - Killer Presentation We have all been told how to present but it's far more than what you do with your hands or how loudly you speak that matters. Presentation literacy is not a skill for the few; to give a “killer presentation" we give you tips on what it is you need to do to prepare for your presentation and how to build that critical rapport with your audience to engage them and keep them. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed63b1a31d7f06aef2cc433/1592928154778-EQP6DXMLAVMC5RZM1LAZ/iStock-178455614.jpg About - The Chimp Paradox Inspired by the best selling book by Steve Peters we examine the mind management model, which is based on scientific fact and principles and helps us understand how and why we react to things. You might wonder why this is important in a business context but we have all sent those emails we have regretted afterwards or acted defensively or aggressively in business meetings. The Chimp Paradox demonstrates that whilst we can't always control what happens to us, we can choose how we react to it thereby building trust, respect and our reputation. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed63b1a31d7f06aef2cc433/1592928062715-EAL5QLYGHUQX3DGEQJPC/iStock-912219984.jpg About - Persuasion and Influence This session covers far more than simple influencing skills and tips but considers the persuasive characteristics and techniques needed to move other people's positions and opinions (vital if you are in sales or have a role in negotiations). We also focus on the importance of self and other awareness and how psychology plays a crucial part in being able to influence effectively. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed63b1a31d7f06aef2cc433/1592928174799-D7PYK2AF2BRA7B6OZAX5/iStock-182823196.jpg About - Growth Rings How many times have we been encouraged to "stretch our comfort zone"? This session explains and demonstrates why growth occurs in a state of discomfort and how what makes you comfortable can be your downfall. It navigates you through stagnation, order, complexity and chaos (and also explains why we like to procrastinate), what drives that procrastination and how to move to innovation and truly think outside that box we keep hearing about. Growth Rings are as relevant to life generally as they are in the workplace. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed63b1a31d7f06aef2cc433/1592927802508-WQ877FJPXIENGV4HC2IS/iStock-185218555.jpg About - Some Myths Exploded This session is inspired by the book "Barking Up the Wrong Tree" by Eric Barker which dispels some common myths. We are generally encouraged to play it safe but is doing the safe thing and not risking the ups and downs of extremes the path to success or mediocrity? In this session, we draw on numerous examples and comparisons that help us understand that things like academic grades are no more predictive of life's success than rolling the dice. Perhaps we are too quick to label things as good or bad but to be great we must be different. https://www.excelciumconsulting.co.uk/testimonals daily 0.75 2020-06-22 https://www.excelciumconsulting.co.uk/take-action daily 0.75 2025-05-09
