Carolyn Ponder
Carolyn Ponder is an international HR consultant, trainer and coach-mentor, all of which are supported by her practice as a Gestalt psychotherapist. She has CIPD post-graduate qualifications, and was recently admitted into the Livery of The Worshipful Company of Joiners and Ceilers of the City of London. She makes history as their first woman liveryman.

Carolyn develops and delivers a range of management, leadership development and interpersonal skills training, as well as undertaking specific consultancy assignments, often following on from her training work. As well as offering consultancy, Carolyn undertakes personal coaching to reinforce these skills, often at senior levels in the organization.

Carolyn’s recent achievements include running leadership and personal development training courses for multi-cultural teams. In running these programmes, Carolyn has to strike the balance between achieving a unified organizational culture, whilst ensuring that the business gains fully from the cultural mix and diversity offered by this multi-cultural workforce.

Carolyn has also been closely involved with the trans-sector mentoring initiative in the biotechnology industry, a programme she developed for the BIA, the trade association for bioscience. This has included training all interested participants as mentors or mentees. This cutting edge work succeeded in creating a collaborative culture of partnership within a commercially competitive environment. It embedded a shared vision of creating future leaders for UK bioscience, to combat the “brain drain” of talent to the US.
