About Us

What Are We All About?

We’re a leadership development consultancy with a clear belief: businesses don’t grow unless their leaders do.
When leadership is underdeveloped, performance plateaus and strategy loses traction. But when leaders are engaged, skilled, and confident, they build high performance cultures that are balanced, inclusive, inspiring and with a strong sense of identity.

You’re not born a leader, you become one; through practice, reflection, and trial and error. That’s where we come in.
We partner with organisations to design and deliver high-impact leadership development programmes and solutions that shape multi-dimensional leaders; those who can role model transparency, navigate conflict, lead with strategic clarity, coach their teams, and make equitable decisions.

Senior corporate partnerTop Tier UK law Firm

I had the privilege of half a dozen sessions with Victoria : working on leadership, organisational complexities and modern workplace sensitivities. I found her advice to be perceptive, sensitive and sophisticated. The fact she is a qualified lawyer also helped her sense of context. I would highly recommend Victoria.

Vicky ThompsonHR Director Montagu Evans

I have had the pleasure of working with Odyssey Consulting as a trusted partner. I am consistently impressed by the expertise and professionalism of Richard and Victoria. They are brilliant at what they do and their ability to help me navigate complex issues has been invaluable to me. I rely on their insights and their friendliness and approachability make no topic out of bounds. They are always non-judgmental and objective, relying on facts and evidence making them a safe place to be.

HR DirectorInternational Investment Firm

We’ve had the pleasure of working with Richard for the past couple years and have really enjoyed the partnership. Richard is easy and enjoyable to work with, approachable and we’ve built a strong working relationship. We received positive feedback from colleagues on the training that he delivered, and we really value both the quality of his work and his commitment to delivering content that is right for us

Jennifer PetersChief People Officer Alpha Bank London

It’s rare to find a training partner who can strike such a strong balance of energy, pragmatism and knowledge. Victoria recently delivered a three-part manager training programme for ABL which received excellent feedback from participants. Her legal background enables her to land messages in a unique manner which, in my opinion, sets her apart from many other leadership specialists.

Business Services ManagerTop Tier Global Law Firm

I really enjoyed the session today. I’ve undertaken similar training previously, but this one stood out due to Richard’s clear and interactive delivery style and case study format. It brought the essence of the session to life in a very practical way.

Helen MoldHR Director, Odgers Berndtson

We have had the pleasure of working with Victoria for the past few years and her impact has been transformative. She expertly guides our team members in facing challenges, bringing a unique blend of expertise and personal qualities. Her legal background enriches her coaching with profound insights and her approach is both effective and empathetic.

Newly promotedMD Global Investment Bank

Victoria, I received the promotion letter in writing on Friday last week! Thrilled to see it on paper. It is still sinking in, but it goes without saying I could not have done this without you……. So grateful for your advice, guidance and ability to bring out the best in me.

ManagerTop Tier Global Law Firm

I’ve really enjoyed Richard’s sessions, they are engaging and I feel motivated from them!

Andrew KinniburghDirector-General Make UK defence

Victoria’s many years of experience are self evident in her relaxed but highly professional approach to each meeting…… She manages to make them challenging, thought provoking, amusing and she exudes what I can only describe as a kind of ‘tough empathy’. So you know she’s on your side but won’t take any BS from anyone being less than truthful about themselves.

VP, HRGlobal Investment Bank

I honestly can't imagine a better training team than yours. You are all smart, talented professionals, and on top of that, genuinely great people

Bogdan MihalacheFounder, Email Kong

Victoria has been a game-changer in my leadership development and the way I run my company. Her deep understanding of employee dynamics, leadership strategy, and effective workload prioritization has been invaluable. Thanks to her guidance, we're now on track to be a 7-figure business. Better leadership decisions create more successful businesses - and Victoria has helped me make the right ones.
