Lucy Ord - People Untapped

Work history

Lucy is an organisation development and design consultant, executive and team coach, facilitator, and leadership development specialist.

Before working independently, she spent over twenty years in internal consulting roles across a wide variety of industries, including the NHS, Civil Service, housing, pharmaceuticals, and the Third Sector. In this time, she enabled leaders and teams to adapt and thrive in complex, changing environments.

Using highly collaborative and participative methods, she enabled the re-design of services and whole organisations, developed cultures and enabled new ways of working. She created people and talent strategies, corporate values and behaviours, executive assessment centres, and inclusive leadership initiatives.

Lucy is qualified as a Brain Based Coach from the Neuroleadership Institute and is an ICF accredited team coach. She has worked with a broad range of clients, enabling them to bring about transformational changes within themselves, their teams and wider businesses. She has a real passion for creating inclusive cultures and runs a career empowerment programme for minoritised groups to accelerate their development and drive forward organisational inclusion agendas.

Consulting, coaching and facilitation approach

Clients describe Lucy as engaging, warm, calm and insightful. As a coach, she takes a person-centred approach, tailored to have the most impact for the client. Sessions offer space for reflection and clarity, where clients develop greater self-awareness, connect with their values and purpose, recognise the choices available to them and realise their potential. She is skilled in supporting clients through transitions, career development, leadership impact, conflict and confidence issues. She is similarly adept at working with teams – deploying systemic team coaching approaches to enable groups to better understand themselves, their dynamics and the systems in which they operate. Lucy helps people get unstuck, untangle messy issues, and develop new ways of thinking and working.
