Hi, I'm Marie-Claire, the founder of Beyond, and I'm passionate about supporting teams to get the best out of work

As an experienced senior change consultant and business psychologist, with a PhD in the factors that support thriving at work, I have accumulated deep knowledge and understanding of the mindsets and behaviours that support individuals and teams to perform at their best at work.

Importantly, my work is based on psychology research and on the science behind thriving at work - a psychological sense of growth and motivation. When people are thriving, they are more adaptive to change. This is a criticial attribute for being able to handle the uncertainty that comes with change at work.

During my career in Management Consulting, predominantly at Ernst and Young, I led teams through change during business transformation programmes for the Financial Services sector. I've rescued failing programmes by guiding individuals towards a shared vision; I've rolled out a performance management initiative to 4,000 people, where a change champion network was critical to success and I've brought stakeholders together during one of the largest banking mergers in history. I've managed cross-functional teams and teams across the UK, New York and Singapore, and I've worked in Abu Dhabi and Amsterdam. Through my experience, I have built a respect and awareness that, as humans, we all act and think differently due to our different backgrounds, cultures, values, beliefs and experience. And differences can be complementary, creating a recipe for great ideas and exceptional performance.

I support teams to meet organisational objectives and garner meaning and joy from work. I love witnessing the relief, energy and enthusiasm that my clients feel when attending my programmes. It's the recognition that I can make a positive difference to working lives that drives what I do.
