Alongside this, she is the founder of Awoken Development, where she partners with leaders and teams on people, leadership, and organisational development challenges. With a background spanning senior HR leadership, executive coaching, and organisational development, Jemma brings a practitioner’s lens to consulting, grounded in real organisational pressure, not theory alone. Her work focuses on improving the quality of conversations inside organisations as a lever for better decisions, adaptability, and performance. In this conversation, we discuss what it takes to consult effectively in uncertain environments, how clients make sense of complexity, and what consulting firm owners can learn about positioning, delivery, and long-term client relationships when the work isn’t linear or transactional.********************************************************** Proposed interview questions: 1.
